First of all stop passing verdict about yourself . It may also be a sadness associated with event if not depression. Even if so and particularly without any reason then you need to consult a psychologist
Talking to yourself could have various reason like loneliness, sadness, anti socialising, stress etc . Generally all this is either deep rooted to a certain past event or deficiencies in your blood
Next Steps
I would advice you to first identify if there’s any reason for this change in you . I would also advice you to a blood test especially of D3 and B12
In most of cases the fatigue and depression is associated with low D3and B12
Once you have the report you can see consult me or any counselling psychologist to intervene further

Maintain a thought journal in which you can mention 3 positive events of the day . Go for regular exercise as it will help you with your overall health and well being . Try and maintain a fixed schedule for sleeping . Try and engage yourself in various activities to keep yourself engaged and occupied. It is suggested that you seek help from a clinical psychologist for a further evaluation and diagnosis also for a treatment plan through which you can learn positive and healthy coping strategies.
