I know that when I'm like this, hypomanic, I can be too much for people because I just don't shut up.

Should I limit what I post here because I'm in this state? I don't want to be a thread hog. I have mouth diarrhea .

Is it polite to limit my posting? I can do that.

Absolutely post as often and as detailed as you need. Trust me, I have been a thread hog more than I care to admit but my posts are accepted with caring and love!

I can second what cashhart said. And I admit I do post ALOT when I'm hypo or even had one too many coffees. Maybe caffeine might even make me a bit hypo (a pdoc wants me to cut out all caffeine and uppers so I won't go back to him!). I even get massive hangover like headaches when I don't have my energy drink iN the morn. So I may be hypo often. Which means I do post often. However, people are here for support and suggestions right? So it's not a bad thing if I give my take on things?

Speaking of high jacking posts lol... I want to add that my bf gets pretty annoyed when I'm hypo. He knows when I am and previously told me that I get obnoxious. I'll try to talk when he's playing a video game or trying to fall asleep (I do try hard not to do it now!). Just now I walked into the living room and he put the TV on mute to give me the stage because he just knows. I got embarrassed and cut my speech short lol. And he's trying to play a video game. Then I was reminded of this thread.

Post it up!
I'm grateful for all of the sharing that goes on here. Even when I don't have anything to add to the conversation, it makes me feel less alone.

I second all that: keep them coming!

I get more of my "natural" disinhibition back when I get more stable, so for me hypomania, when it comes to talking a lot (but under full control if I have to), is not much different from stability.

It is energy-wise and such, though. Love to be sleepy and not depressed: what's nicer, peaceful, than that? Sorry, derailed. But I could not have!

Yes. This forum is about posting to one another. No matter the mood.

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