What is manic pressured speech? Why can’t I stop talking!!!

 

I recently wrote a blog post for BP Magazine on the topic of talking too darn much when you’re manic.  I know what it feels like from both sides. I’ve talked so much I’ve worn myself out and I recently went through a friend’s manic episode where she was talking so fast- and her flight of ideas were out of control-  I couldn’t keep up!

“Julie, I’m not manic. Am I manic? ‘Im going to walk it off. I just got up this morning- well I didn’t really sleep- but I got up and took an hour power walk and then I went to the gym and swam for two hours. Do  you think that exercise will cure this mania? I do! I think it can. I’m just going to keep walking and walking and get better that way.”

You can’t get a word in. When you’re manic, you try to hard not to talk! But sometimes you can’t help it. Here is my post from BP Magazine.

Talking Over People When You’re Manic

Please leave comments on the post.  I know that people get so much out of reading about other people’s experiences!

I highly recommend BP Magazine.  The information is educational, interesting,  has my column! and the price is right.
