I worry that I'm boring my boyfriend because I haven't been super talkative like I was when manic (among other things, impulsive, hypersexual, reckless etc) I'm just worried that my regular self is too boring.

My manic episode was back in February/March and I still feel a little bit that way, but forcing myself to do activities to talk about is helping. I can't talk/write about intangible or just create stuff out of thin air like I used to. In other words, nonsense doesn't come as easily. But at least I have running, hiking, books, my cats, etc to talk about even if it's not as interesting to some/most people.
