Some times I cant speak and some times I cant shut up

So some days I find it hard to speak and it can go on all day (or for a few days) and its like treacle in my head and some days I dont shut up and I annoy everyone (including myself) and I dont listen to or know half the stuff that comes falling out (its usually general chit-chattery). It can come out a bit hysterical some times too.
But the days where I find it hard to speak its really tough, people with speak to me and I will just smile (or do nothing) and I dont really realise I am not responding properly even though I know should answer I cant (I worry about appearing rude). My brain just stuggles to help me bother to think it feels like.
Im 20 and my mood swings are difficult but I have been learning to manage them and be calm and on an even keel but I want to iron out the kinks in personality so how do I combat this?
I am not diagnosed with anything either so maybe I have a lazy brain that choses some days will be ok and somedays it wants to shut down? Its honestly really difficult cause I dont feel like im being lazy. I feel like im being shut off and not really in the room so much, like quite detached and distant from people (including myself).

Also, am I just being silly and overthinking it? If so tell me to move on and try to be normal XD
