Arguing with everyone in my head?

Question

At times, I find my thoughts racing and find myself lost in imaginary conversations in my head. What does this mean? For example, I am getting ready to go somewhere and am brushing my hair. But it takes me 3 x as long if I am in this state. The reason is, rather than being focused on what I'm doing, I am focused on defending myself in my mind against some outlandish accusation some friend has made against me and I am crying and saying "How could you say such things," etc. (all in my mind) then I realize I have been thinking about such stupid things and wasting time doing so.

I think this happens if I am overtired, overstressed or have had too much sugar or too many carbohydrates. But there seems to be no way to fix it.

Is this some defined type of disorder?

Answer 1

I Know that there were voices in my past that told me that I had nothing to offer!, I was nothing!, God and Jesus Didn't value me and maybe you should think about what life would be like if you weren't in it because it would be better for everyone!, because this world would be better without you!....I tell you sister! Ignore these kind of voices, if theses are the voices you hear! because this is the deceiver Satan and his legion of evil spirits, who is the father of all lies! Know that voices in your head should never tell you negative things or things that tell you to hold on to painful memory's for example! I would like to encourage you to instead of listening to your head try listening to your heart! I believe the reason you feel this way, hearing voices instead of your heart maybe because your heart is feeling that something is missing. I believe that something might be a relationship with God and Jesus! The Bible says that you were created to have a fellowship with God, and to have Him at the center of your life. Did you know God loves you and values you! "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son Jesus, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)Know apart from Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us, we are "harassed and helpless, like sheep with out a shepherd" (Matt 9:36). But God loves us, and one reason he has allowed you to have this feeling of emptiness in your heart is that He loves you and wants you to seek and have a relationship with him. No matter how hard we try or what means we use--material possessions, money, pleasure, drugs, or whatever--the emptiness is still there. The thing is that if you let your emptiness go this leads into depression! How do I know this? Because I have dealt with that empty feeling, life with no purpose or meaning and eventually depression. The three things that really turned my life around was: 1. Knowing that God and Jesus Loved me and I was valued! 2. Knowing I had people on my side at church, in my social life and in my family that cared about me! and 3. I had to get myself out of the atmosphere that I was in! When you put yourself in line with what God has for you, then you will see yourself back with a renewed joy! I would not be telling you this if I had not experienced what you feel myself! God created you, and God loves you. His only Son, Jesus Christ, loved you so much that he gave His life on the cross so you could be saved and break free from in perfectness, sin and this empty feeling to become a child of God. When you accept Jesus Christ into your life, something wonderful and supernatural happens. God Himself comes to dwell within you! You become part of His family, and you can know the joy of His presence every day. The Bible says: "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). As a christian I know that Church is a excellent place to meet people that might of once felt the way you do now with no purpose and they might tell you how now they live for Jesus and how they have found that purpose. Not only at church service but a lot of church's have activities like support groups and small groups like bible study! Not only will you be meeting new people and developing relationships with them, you will be also be developing a relationship with God and Jesus by learning what the word of God (the Bible) has to offer you in your life, like questions like this one! Also I encourage you to take other steps to reach out to others. Are there others at work or in your neighborhood who are also feel life has no purpose? Are there others in your neighborhood or work who seem to have just a few friends? It may be not easy for you at first, but learn to be a friend to others. Is a good way to start to do something practical for someone else who has a need. The fact of the matter is you need to put yourself in a new atmosphere! I battled though depression! So, I felt like life was just one, big black, end less, tunnel that I felt so alone and that no one valued me! I later found out that I was valued! I was valued by Jesus because he gave his life on the cross for me! and in essence I was carrying my own cross and Jesus said let me carry that for a while and you put your faith in me and I will bring you hope for the future and a future partner! You know what? He did! Now am happily married to the woman of my dreams! And you to can have that person you desire and things in your life will have meaning and purpose if you believe in yourself and start having a relationship with Jesus! I will be praying for you sister! Right now! Pray to Jesus, tell him you don't want to have a life without a purpose anymore! For the lies for Satan and his evil spirits to go and leave you alone so you my know Jesus Truth! You want him to come into your heart by faith! Tell him you want him and him alone and you do not want to hurt anymore! You want him to come and stay with you and bring you comfort and wisdom. And renounce these voices In Jesus Name! Amen!

Answer 2

There sure is a way to fix it. It's called intrusive thoughts and for most people it's as easy as adding a simple supplement to your daily diet. That supplement is called phosphatidyl choline and it can have a very positive benefit for certain kinds of central nervous system disorders, of which intrusive thoughts are a symptom. Phosphatidyl choline is part of what makes up lecithin, a nutrient found in abundance in eggs . . . but many of us don't get as much as our bodies need.

As to whether the symptom is a defined disorder . . . . well, intrusive thoughts can be an only symptom or they can be part of other disorders such as bipolar spectrum disorder or depression or even schizophrenia. Whether it's an only symptom or part of another disorder, phosphatidyl choline is sure to help. Do take it in divided doses, though, and don't take more than recommended (1500 mg would be a maximum amount for almost anyone for an entire day, in 3 divided doses). You'll be amazed at the difference this makes!

And if any of the other disorders mentioned is even remotely possible, have a look at the website under 'source' as they offer a revolutionary new treatment that has helped and even saved many lives . . . mine included.

Answer 3

Hmm... if it's some type of disorder, I'm pretty freaked, 'cuz it'll be another one to add to my long list of diagnoses.

Seriously though.... if you do this, you're probably like the rest of us who plan out conversations or relive previous conversations. I do it all the time, especially when they are conversations that have been particularly upsetting or where I thought they could have gone a different way. For example, when the boss has asked me to do something and I agreed only to later have a conversation in my head that goes something like "Remember we talked about the fact that I wasn't going to do extra duties because I don't have time... " or "I really don't have the time for that, how about asking ... "

And when I do this, it is because I am overstressed or unhappy... trying to plot my next move or redo a past one. It's okay as long as you don't let it take over your life.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

I don't know if it's a disorder, but I do think you rely far too much on other peoples' opinions of you. You become obsessed with justifying imaginary wrongs, and it all turns into a very upsetting event. I've had arguments with people I know (all in my imagination) and I often create their pretend accusations around what I believe they actually think of me, in areas I feel guilty. Then I defend myself many times over until I feel ready for the real thing, so it's not too weird, in theory. Hope this helps!

It seems you may have anxiety. I would cut out all caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. These 3 things can make it worse. It seems you may be worrying a little too much.
