Thanks.

if you do that if you are bipolar. That's "pressured speech," which is a hallmark symptom of mania. We all get to experience that. If lessons some if you are stabilized on medication, but I think it is always with us to a certain extent. Embarrassing, isn't it? 
Yeah, it is embarrassing. I mean, I normally am somewhat of a risk-taker; but sometimes I'm downright ashamed of myself for saying some of the things I do. I don't know if I'm just now realizing it now or if my new meds are exaserbating the situation. Thanks for your insight, though.

Boy, is that normal!  It's hyperverbosity.  I drive myself crazy!  I go out, talk too much, am totally friendly and then go home and kick myself.  Did I say too much?  Did I say something wrong?  Did I offend anyone?  Then I think if I stay away from everyone for a few years, they'll forget.   If I'm not talking, I'm singing.  I love meditation, but I start singing!  I'm ready to put duct tape over my mouth during meditation, since I don't hum that loudly.  I heard it's normal, but if anyone knows of anything that works, that's one thing I'd love.  I'm okay as long as I'm not talking to anyone but myself!  I'm glad I'm not alone!
