Manic?

This is an email I sent to my friend. We’ve been writing for 21 years!

I learned something about myself today. Yesterday I typed so many texts to S. that he said "I do work you know!" Then later while we were texting he said "you're doing it again" when he stopped replying for a long time. I said "Where are you?" "You're doing it again ." He replied. He said he wasn't mad just pointing out a fact.

Talked with C. this morning and he said I do the same thing- call him umpteen times if he doesn't answer. It's an anxious feeling.

With you I just get a current topic I want to tell you about and want to get it down before I forget. So you end up with many emails. It must frustrate you to have to write back to so much. It's something I didn't realize I was doing until S. pointed it out. I was told recently on a bulletin board for bipolar people- we've all become friends. Recently someone said "Moose, I've never seen you post so many different topics at once!" Others said it's called hypergraphia where you can't stop texting and posting and writing in general. That made sense to me.

So forgive me if I've done this with our emails lately. It must be difficult to keep up with. I wouldn't want to scare you off. That and I've had a lot going on.

Hope this helps you understand my behavior.
