I can relate. When hypo I love to share my joy enthusiastically. the world is bright and nothing is wrong. Depressed I don't speak much as i don't have the energy and can't find the words. Mixed I tend to switch between talking rapidly, usually about dark stuff, or being silent, trapped in my inner world. When manic i have pressured speech and talk fast but can also get lost in my inner world and become very quite. Most times while manic a small voice inside me tells me it is best not to share my thoughts as they are far from normal and I want to appear normal to most people.
