I came across this definition a long time ago, when researching bipolar.

I think I have experienced it. Many times.

Just wondering if other's here on bipolar forum have this symptom when they are manic?

I personally do not feel any symptoms of anxiety while doing this. I do tend to say stuff I later feel embarrassed about, though.

My main questions for pple who do this too, are: Do you do it cuz u are nervous/anxious? Do you even realize you are doing it?

I do it cause I just can't stop. Sometimes I want to and can't. But mostly I don't realize I am doing it. Or I feel so damn good, I really don't care what I am saying or to who or what I am saying.
