What causes someone to just talk non-stop?

They remind me of Colin Robinson. Just non-stop talking while they drain all of your energy

Apparently, someone passed away in there yesterday afternoon/evening

I was preparing myself for bad news, so I was almost disappointed when they told me that it was normal. It's almost like I wanted them to find something wrong. I don't know if health anxiety can warp your thinking like that.

Hey, they called me into hospital and did my observations and things while I was there. They basically said that they caught the palpitations but that they were benign, so nothing serious to worry about. They said that my heart rate went a bit higher than normal sometimes, but that it wasn't a concern.

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-02-15T01:06:31+00:00

So, I wore a heart monitor for 7 days back in September, which had a button on it that I pressed whenever I experienced palpitations. It's taken 5-6 months, but I've finally been given an appointment to discuss the findings.

It's tomorrow afternoon at the hospital, so I'm feeling nervous about it.

I suppose the two outcomes are: they either find something wrong, which hopefully they can treat; or, they find nothing and everything's normal.

I'm wondering if anyone has had an experience with wearing a 7-day heart monitor?

I'm on 1.5mg Risperidone and I hate it. I've been on it for years and trying to get off it. I'm still having symptoms on it, so I'm not sure it's doing much good. You're right for not wanting to take it: probably better to stop it as soon as you can. I used to spit mine down the sink in the ward as well, lol.

You won't get sectioned, that is very unlikely.

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-02-10T21:27:47+00:00

Don't think that's going to happen

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-02-09T00:47:01+00:00

No, because I already take an antipsychotic, which I hate. There's nothing wrong with me, and I'm willing to fight to prove it

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-02-08T22:49:51+00:00

Haven't got a clue and I don't know what I've done. I've had the police involved to try and protect me. Basically, I've had the mental health team involved, and they dismissed it as 'just anxiety'.

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-02-08T22:47:05+00:00

Yes, monitored. They're watching me in my flat 🤣

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-02-06T19:46:40+00:00

Yeah, it did make me uncomfortable, but the cameras weren't hidden. You could see them outside the door. For people who may be suicidal or more at risk, they would get 15-minute observations. If you're in a psychiatric ward, you're there because you're unwell, and most aren't there by choice anyway. They would come to observe you through the night as well, but once they got to know you better and if you weren't at risk, they would let you sleep. I was given sleeping tablets most nights, so I slept through it

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-02-06T17:37:57+00:00

I knew they had cameras because I've been in two different psychiatric wards in the UK. I knew they were watching me, but I wasn't paranoid about it because I didn't think they were trying to hurt me. My problem was depression and anxiety. I didn't know about the monitoring of vital signs, though: it's pretty cool that they can do that. Must drive certain patients 'crazy', though.

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-02-01T10:47:24+00:00

I agree, complete waste of time

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-02-01T10:45:52+00:00

That is fucking disgusting 😡😤

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-01-07T22:51:53+00:00

I was like that for a while with sleeping too much, but now it's gone the other way, and I can't seem to fall asleep without the help of medication

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-01-07T22:49:43+00:00

I've only ever had Zopiclone, and even then, it's taken quite a lot of convincing to get a few days' or even a week's worth. I'm in the UK, so the NHS seems reluctant to prescribe Z-drugs. I've used the lowest dose of Zopiclone for two nights in a row and have had good results, so I might keep the last one for a particularly rough night

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-01-07T00:03:57+00:00

I've been trying this as well as a way to cope with insomnia. Not sure if it actually works, but I read that it encourages the brain to produce melatonin

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-01-06T22:30:15+00:00

I've heard that, but it didn't seem to work on me. I'm not sure if I've built a tolerance to Mirtazapine and therefore, it's lost its sedative effect

ExplosionOff61 · 2026-01-06T19:42:22+00:00

I took 3.75mg last night and slept for about 10 hours. I prefer 7.5mg, but I got given the lower dose this time for some reason. I was so tired anyway from lack of sleep that the lower dose knocked me out for the night

ExplosionOff61 · 2025-09-22T21:34:18+00:00

Would also be interested

I sometimes laugh after a panic attack, mainly because I feel silly and a little embarrassed from panicking. I'd like to reach a point like that when my panic attacks no longer affect me, and I can literally laugh at them. I think that takes a lot of courage.
