it wouldn't be like oh i wonder what i'll have for dinner, it would be like these conversations that had nothing to do with what was going on in my life like 2 people fighting or arguing or something and i wouldn't even realize i would be doing it literally

I would not think it would be a sign of depression...there could be many reasons that attribute to your behavior. As long as it is not happening anymore, do not worry. Should you feel it beginning again, I would consult a Dr. It may be harmless behavior or it may be damaging. Hope the BF can keep you happy...best wishes.

I do that too, and if you have depression, I have depression. However, I don't believe that depression is a medical problem, I think it's a problem of lacking something that gives you energy, ambition, and happyness. When I have a girlfriend, my depression turns to severe manic swings that I keep to myself. That's when I start to talk to myself, I think you might be manic, and possibly need some balance, however I'm not a doctor nor will I ever be, as my IQ just barely passes the bar for the medical profession and I have no ambition. So don't take my word for it, but I still hope it was helpful.

It could be.
You were very lonely?
I did the same thing for a while. Talking to myself a lot. And I mean a lot.
In stores, movies, at Home.
I also felt very depressed for years until I met my bf about a year ago. And some times the depression comes and goes.
But not like it used to.
Yeah I would tell myself a joke and laugh.
*Oh Martha you Crack me up!*
I can't remember what all I had conversations about.
Maybe you were just very lonely till you met your bf?
And it stopped then I'm guessing?

I used to have the same problem. Ask your doctor about it. Just a regular physician should be able to help. I've been depression free for about a year now and all I did was ask my doctor about it and he put me on the right track without using any medications for an extent period of time.

Depression consists of the following:
Physical Symptoms/ disturbances: 1. APPETITE/ 2. SLEEP / 3. MENTAL AGITATION/ 4. ENERGY LEVEL
Psychological Symptoms: 1. LOST OF INTEREST/ 2. FEELING OF HOPELESSNESS & HELPLESSNESS/ 3.HALLUCINATIONS / 4. SUICIDAL IDEAS
What you have may not be depression but could be something more sinister like SCHIZOPHRENIA which includes hallucinations/ lost of touch with reality/ etc...
You need serious assessment by a doc, man...

I wouldnt think it would be a severe case of depression, but it is one of the symptoms of it. My advice is to go to your doctor and discuss this with him/her. What will happen when/if you and your b/f part ways. Not being negative but it is a part of life. There is no way of knowing if you had symptoms of psychosis, that is something you were describing. I would still go for a check up.

Not necessarily a sign of depression, but you might want to have a check over just to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities, including sex
Decreased energy, fatigue, feeling "slowed down"

Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders and pain for which no other cause can be diagnosed.

I think everyone talks to themselves at one time or another but the only time to worry is when you start getting answers back.... then head for the shrink.

I don't know how severe you would call it but it is depression from lonelyness. I used to be the same way.
