I have ocd and I talk too much. Most of the things I say need not be said or don't make sense but I have this urge to talk all the time. I also sometime talk about my private life that I should not have. Please tell me how to stop this ugly behaviour, people don't want to be around me because I talk too much.

You are not alone in this. It has taken me a long time to learn to listen. and stop my one-side conversation. (still have problems). I'm trying now to expand my knowledge on topics that are important to others. To get them to respond with their View. The more I learn and know about those around me the less insecurity. Less I talk. Office talk -check about worker rights. workroom rules Union contracts etc. being Open minded is the key. Topics to avoid

I've had this problem too. Afterwards I always feel so bad about all the talking I did. I also have ADD, which I thought was the main cause of the talking problem.

Has this talking too much been "identified" as an OCD symptom? (I mean, by your doctor etc). Or, amybe I should ask: Does it feel like an OCD thing to you (like, you feel anxiety if you don't say those things, you feel it's compulsive?)
Because as others have implied, talking too much can be a symptom of many other thigns too. I am especially also thinking of (hypo)mania in bipolar disorder.
Not saying that's what you have, don't worry!!;) Just thinking out aloud I guess.

I have the opposite problem. I freeze up and don't say anything at all!
