Well, now that I am hypomanic, I am doing something that has bothered everyone around me for years and years. I repeat myself, over and over. I will ask the same question five or 10 times to assure I got the answer right. I press people for information and answers until they tell me what I want to know or hear. I say the same thing over and over. I'll even bring it up later on and repeat it again.
I am making lists in my head constantly, planning out days ahead of to-do lists. I write down lists everywhere. Step by step they have to be done. From eating breakfast on down to the rest of the day.
If I mess up the list in my head, I have to start it all over again. I do this all day long. It's a compulsion. I HAVE to do it.
I look around and see things that need to be done and I am pushed to do them until I feel it's right.
Distractions and keeping busy only help a little. I still list in my head.
I hate that I bother people so much like this. I don't mean to. I don't even realize I'm repeating things.
Sigh. I see pdoc tomorrow and will tell him this. Just wanted to vent.
