see that is the weird thing. I just don't fit well into any of the boxes. I defintely talk too fast, too much, my speech can be very pressured, I have trouble starting or finishing anything. I generally spend half my day sleeping and half my day being an extreme go go go busy busy busy extrovert or tunneling into the computer. I compulsively shop..but mostly at yard slaes. target, and wal-mart. I do have days where my thoughts are speedy and disjointed. I am known by my friends as being more than a little high strung and "bouncy". So it is kinda like mania only I love to sleep. My best guess is it is some mix of mania, narcolepsy and ADD all rolled into one big goofball.
I am almost never depressed as far as being sad but I am often in a state of overwhelm because I am so far behind at work and at home....does 20 loads of piled up laundry ring a bell with anyone? I do experience apathy but just not the sad and blue part. I am never so down that an ice cream cone and a big sale at target can't get me bouncing again. :)
