I am a total babble mouth too!!!, When hypomanic (which seems to be triggered by stress...positive or negative...) I start the ramble...the babble and the crazy jumping from one topic to the next which makes perfect sense to me but makes it difficult for others to follow along on my crazy train of thought! Sometimes I talk so fast it's hard for people to even get the jest of what I am saying at all and it only frustrates me when I get that glazed over "HUH" look followed by the "pardon me"...grrrrrrrrrrr...come one people...get with the program here and just smile and nod! LOL...at least I try to laugh at myself but it is quite sad to be like this and not have control. I sometimes just leave...and go have a good cry! I hate being this way! I know people think I am odd...how is it that I can go from not saying a word (withdrawn and depressed) to total crazy psycho babble??? People find me difficult to cope with for the most part...I have limited relationships...and I understand why. I can't stand me most of the time...lol!!! I've found the holidays have been a huge stressor for me. Triggers, TRIGGERS...OH and more TRIGGERS!!!
I am on Lamictal 500mg, Seroquel 500mg, Abilify 5mg (just started this one half tablet nightly) and Clonazepam as needed for anxiety and extreme irate rage moments! I am not sure how this cocktail is working...(I think the psychiatrist is trying to swap out the Seroquel for Abilify) so far...not liking how I feel...but I've not been feeling well for a long time! I want the hallucinations to STOP!!!
