I cannot seem to not speak the first thing that comes to mind a lot of the time. IDK, if it's racing thoughts, stress, mood rollercoaster or what?
Anyone else with this problem, past or present? Have you been able to control it a bit more?

This is a good point--feeling ignored or when people invalidate the obvious or don't really listen does make it worse. When people listen you either starting thinking more rationally or feel like you made your point.
But there are times where maybe it's just a bipolar mania.
