I joined this site last week, have been logging on, reading posts and posting, visiting chat rooms. I feel like I "Belong" here, with people that have the same issues as myself. I have bi-polar, I forget if it is 1 or 2, but I do remember it is rapid cycling. Depressoin is also a major issue. I have been in a little hypo-mania, off of meds for a short time due to liver disease, and have been up, up and down, down, then confused in the middle. When talking to people, or chatting in chat room, I realize that I may get too chatty, then afterwards I feel ashamed(?) that I chatter so much..what must people think?? I talk a lot when in mania...cry when in depression..never normal...
 How is it possible to feel good about yourself when you constantly have to think "Did I talk to much....did I ramble on???" or "why did I cry??" Before I was diagnosed with Bipolar, everyone thought I had depression, then when in mania they thought I was just happy, bubbly, hyper, impulsive... now that I have a label...it's a whole new game and people act like I am someone else...??!!

Oh gosh I analyze my social interactions all the time! When I am hypomanic I talk talk talk...sometimes it hits me I'm talking too much, sometimes not. Sometimes I'm like WHY did I just say that! Why am I talking to this random stranger!! But I can't stop.
When I'm depressed I'm convinced everyone hates me so I analyze what I'm saying. I'm always so worried that I sound selfish and self centered so I always think did I say too much about myself, did I sound selfish, did I sound like a *****, did I talk about other people, did I gossip, blah blah...I just had a situation on Friday where I went to a convention with another teacher I didn't know and I had to make sure I wasn't talking too much about myself. Anyway welcome! Stay as long as you like!

This thread warmed my heart.
Wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard "slow down when you talk I can't understand you"... |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
