Last night after another stressful day at work, I leave the office and walk towards my car while I am thinking how much I am looking forward to seeing my family. I am thinking also of a dumb thing I did at work today (nothing huge just dumb) and I think, "who cares that stuff doesn't matter." Then I realize with shock that I didn't just think it, but muttered it out loud. I look around me and breathe a sign of relief, no one is within hearing distance. I then go on as I round the corner onto a busy street where more people are around and think, making a joke with myself, "No worries, I'm simply crazy." And realize with horror that I again uttered these words out loud. This time I did not look around to see if anyone heard me, but rushed into the parking garage.
I then determined I must be insane - muttering out loud ranting ravings of whatever comes into my head, like the various other crazies I normally had made fun of. Fortunately I also determined that though I am insane, I do not have to commit myself because I am not a danger to me or to others.
Do I need to commit myself? Am I making a proper diagnosis?
May I be the first to welcome you to the club.

I once thought I was hearing voices, but then I realized it was one of my cats talking to me. So I'm o-k.

Late in the evening, when I'm settled in my recliner, some time between
"I think I'll read a little" and "George, go to bed, you're snoring", I find I
have taken to answering my wife's questions. Even those she hasn't
asked.
