Inner dialogue - talking to one’s self

See I always knew deep down mine was excessive and i was questioning what was normal or not.  I asked my partner, yes, he has an inner dialogue, everyone does, but i feel mine is constantly turned up to the max with no off switch. My friend said to "tune it out like a radio" sorry, cant do. If it's not my voice, it's looping tjoughts, or a line off an advertt or a line from a song. It's constant. It's not like an ear worm, it's like it's totally burrowed into my head. 

I said in another post it can be like a groove gets deeper and deeper with no way out. Once one thing has stopped it's taken over by something else.

It got worse when I was having therapy cos every thought or action would have a running commentary as if I was talking to the therapist about it.

I also have pretty much constant thinking and inner dialogues and until recently had no idea that apparently not everyone experiences this (Psychologist asked me how many hours a day I spend thinking and for me this was like she was asking me how many hours a day I am breathing...). 

It is interesting that you mention having a commentary in your head as if talking to the therapist. I actually often say things in my head as if I was talking to a specific person ie hearsing what I could/should say to them. Only that I never really end up saying what runs through my head... 

My husband has this inner dialogue thing and sometimes I actually see his lips slightly moving as if he’s  silently forming the  words that are in his head. He doesn’t even realise he’s doing it.
