Pressured speech is a hallmark of mania. Here are the characteristics:
- Can’t stop talking – it’s not like it’s a choice when it get’s bad. You really can’t stop!
- The desire to speak is so strong you will talk over the other person.
- You can’t complete a sentence before going to the next one.
- Speaking feels really good and you’re fascinated with your own ideas!
Those are just a few descriptions of manic pressured speech.
I’ve had it the past few days. Luckily, I know the signs from using my Health Cards for so many years, but it still catches up on me. And then I’m embarrassed.
It’s mania time here in the US. Many people go into the hospital in July and August.
Do you have a plan to prevent mania? Are you showing any signs of pressured speech?
