If you are an open-minded and receptive person, you can find a solution. I propose this simple technique that helps remove mental chatter. It helped me, and it may help you too.
“Unleash the Inner Chatterbox,” from Pharmacy for the Soul by OSHO
If a continuous inner dialogue is there, it must have a cause inside. Rather than repressing it, allow it.
Through allowing it, it will disappear. It wants to communicate something to you. Your mind wants to talk to you. Something you have not been listening to, not caring about, have been indifferent to, wants to relate to you. You may not be aware of what it wants to relate because you have always been fighting, and thinking it is crazy, trying to stop it or convert it into something else. All diversions are a sort of repression.

Do one thing. Every night before you go to sleep, for forty minutes sit facing the wall and start talking—loudly. Enjoy it and be with it. If you find that there are two voices, then talk from both sides. Give your support to this side, then answer from the other side, and see how you can create a beautiful dialogue.
Don’t try to manipulate it, because you are not saying it for anybody. If it is going to be crazy, let it be. Don’t try to cut anything out or censor anything, because then the whole point is lost.
Do it for at least ten days, and for those forty minutes, in no way try to be against it. Just put your whole energy into it. Within ten days, something will surface that has been trying to tell you something but you have not been listening, or there will be something of which you were aware but didn’t want to hear. Listen to it and then it is finished.
Start this talking to the wall and be totally in it. Keep the lights either off or very dim. If sometimes you feel like shouting and becoming angry in your talk, become angry and shout, because it will go deep only when it is done with feeling. If you are just on a head trip and you go on repeating words like a dead tape, that won’t help, and the real thing won’t surface.
Talk with feeling and with gestures, as if the other is present there. After about twenty-five minutes, you will warm up. The last fifteen minutes will be tremendously beautiful. You will enjoy it. After ten days, you will see that bye and bye the inner talk is disappearing, and you have come to understand a few things you have never understood about yourself.
