If it’s a reaction to nerves or stress it’s normal. But if it’s just happening whenever it could be mania. You’d need a dr to tell you for sure.

I ramble rant and rave daily. I need to find a way to calm down. I get triggered easy.

Maybe you are rambling disconnected thoughts.

Yea maybe but they’re not illogical more like racing normal thoughts like talking too much but not word salad, like talking about random stuff

Switching quickly between different topics and/or talking fast can be part of symptoms
But yes a mental health professional would be able to say better

Ive had both of those too (switching between many topics, talking fast)
When i first had mental health clinicians visit me, they said that i spoke 2.5 times faster than how i talk when i saw them again later
And my GP said also during that time that i was talking very fast and jumping topics a lot

That sounds like a normal type response to stress to me. But I’m no dr and not an expert
