Anyone know someone who talks too much and has bipolar disorder

[whatisforteamum]

I started another thread this week as it was pointed out I talk ALOT.
I do and always have.In my 20s a psychiatrist said I had verbal diorreah.
I do have anxiety but I also have bursts of extreme energy.Normally in the summer.I can do a million things an hour and talk fast.too.Rambling on.
I have never seen it as a problem as I can get loads done.I find other people quite slow.
So you know anyone or do you talk to excess and is it bipolar or anxiety related.Has it.caused you problems?.

It’s interesting you say you’re in a team of men and it’s they who have been mentioning your talking.... could it be that men when together are generally (and this is only in general terms) quite matter of fact and to the point, whereas many women (myself included) are socialised to make more polite conversation/ask others how they are/keep the conversation going etc... Add to that what may be your natural tendency to be exuberant and talkative (which can be a lovely trait in my opinion) and perhaps this causes a big mis-match between yourself and your team of male colleagues. Maybe this heightens your feelings of being ‘different’ and makes you think there’s something wrong with you, when perhaps it’s just that you’re in a setting that isn’t a good fit for you. If you were with a mixed sex group of chatty people or a team of women, you’d maybe not notice the difference as much.

If the blokes at work are putting you down and making you feel bad about your talkativeness, just smile sweetly and tell them you’d rather be interesting rather than a wooden boring robot like them

Muckyplucky exactly!!
Today I worked with more women front of house who popped in for a chat.
My boss mentioned it was lovely Sunday how he and a colleague didn't talk for over an hour and I said how bloody boring .😂😂 .I am trying to curb the endless chat yet I do think it is them not me.
Thank you for making me feel better.😁
