A and I were talking.  First about her stress; me being hyper and M coming home w/o being better.  About M, she commented on some of the things I had noticed that are indications that M is a little better and some things I hadn't.  Things like she is less snappy and less likely to have a whatever attitude.  We talked about how these little changes aren't really changes in M but rather changes in the depression, that depression really robbed her of these parts of herself.  Then A said that I used to be hyper all the time.  She's right.  It has been years, but when I am not depressed, I am extremely hyperactive.  I had to force myself to slow down and communicate and be understood.  Everything about me is in hyper speed all the time when I am not depressed.  I learned to control the fast talking and to be still when I needed to, but the hyperactivity was always there.
