Hmm. I wonder if I have a touch of hypomania. . .

I think I just talked at a friend for about twenty minutes straight without really letting zir get a word in. . . fortunately, zie is a rather forgiving person -- and was procrastinating anyway -- but I think I ought to keep an eye on that.

It could also, of course, be that it's FINALLY NICE WEATHER. But it seems like a sort of thing to keep track of.

A lot depends on the number of words per minute, IMO. If you were speaking at your normal rate, then you may well have been doing what I classify as "rambling", which in my case usually results from fatigue, sleepiness, or Spring fever, as jehanna said.

On the other hand, ifitwassofastallyourwordswererunningtogetherandyoutendedtorunoutofbreath, then, yeah, probably a touch of hypomania.

hmmm... I don't think so... at least I think this happens to me and I don't talk so fast I run out of breath, I just get more organized / productive (if I can retain my focus) or more scattered (if I can't)... but it's very hard to tell, as I've never been able to get a diagnoses I can trust.

I've sometimes wondered if xiphias has something like hypergraphia... well, not hypergraphia itself, but he does seem to write in bursts, and at least in this case it corresponds to something that he thinks might be hypomania...

Not that that's a bad thing... I like reading what's produced... and it doesn't seem to be a problem for xiphias.
