I'm not so sure...shopping is an issue for me, so I make the choice not to go to town at all; it helps. And everyone is unique in the range and severity of symptoms; sometimes changing in a single phase. I usually feel incredibly busy, but don't get a whole lot done, rapid speech and talking to myself, fidgeting, and having little control over the connection between my brain and my mouth. So, sometimes it can be incredibly problematic, then other times it can just be really irritating. Like I am right now!
