 I am not going to invest in an official diagnosis, but my 20,000 page journal, file drawer crammed with miscellania and several other sets of etceteras tempt me to declare myself hypergraphic. Unofficiall...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think it reduces strain on my relationships. Every word I hyper express on paper is a word I don't have to vent verbally. Working it out with myself in <a href="http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Writing" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://www.dailystrength.org/treatments/Writing')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Writing">writing</a> helps keep me from ranting aimlessly. Sorta. Better than nothing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hypergraphia is a symptom of mania.  For me it comes out in journals and in drawings.  When I go back and read it, it pretty much barely makes sense and the flight of ideas makes me laugh later.]]></description>
