Yeah, I tend to talk to myself in my head and sometimes outside if there's nobody around, mostly commenting on small things I gotta do or gotta remember. Uh... The most schizo thing I... um... I do, and that... I almost don't tell anyone about is that I... Keep some of the imaginary friends I made as a kid/teen as OCs, made stories for them, and the most "prominent" or more distinct ones kinda... Comment on what I do, what we feel, what we should do... I know I'm technically controlling them, but I can feel them acting on impulse if certain scenarios happen. I'm not saying I have dissociative identity disorder because "we" all have the same memory, and I know they're fictional, but it is quite fun just having people to talk to even if I'm alone.
Part of the reason of why I wanted to become an artist is to be able to draw them and give them some type of presence in reality, not just in my head. It might also be a coping mechanism for going rough trauma while growing up, and spending quite a bunch of my formative years just dissociating and trying to distract myself from reality.

Nah, my ADHD arises more from the fact I just jump from topic to topic, I don't have enough energy to concentrate, my mood shifts too quickly, and I just can't regulate my brain in an effective way to become a functional adult. All my life I've been like this, and thought it was just depression, but... Well. A lot of stuff is not right with my head. I've even had amnesia attacks and passed out during highschool, while being out in the street, while at home. A brain can handle only so much.

In my case I talk to myself and to the fictional characters I've created, or more like -they- talk with me, sometimes the most aggressive one will just take control and send everything to shit if someone is actively mistreating me in real life. Kind of like a reflex.
