HYPER ANXIETY - SOMETHING ELSE? HELP!!!

Does anxiety make anybody else hyper for a couple of hours? Sometimes I feel like I can't sit still, like I have to get up and do something, anything to get rid of the energy I feel bottled up inside me. Sometimes I will call my husband and I just ramble for what seems like forever (only an hour or so) but once I calm down I feel fine. 

There are also sometimes when I just for no reason wake up like this and sometimes if I don't get calmed down it lasts until lunch time or so.

I know I have anxiety, and I know my symptoms change often, which is annoying, but I have never seen anyone ask about this symptom, so it makes me wonder if it

Is this a normal anxiety symptom, or do I have something else along with my anxiety?

    I can't say don't worry about it, but I can tell you that that often happens to me.  As a matter of fact, it is right now.  I'm also shaky and cannot concentrate on anything.  It's very aggravating!  I think I'm calming down a bit now.  I can also say that I have a lot on my mind that I wish I didn't have to deal with but I'm stuck.  Could you be overwhelmed with things that you are trying to avoid dealing with?  That's where I am.

      That is the weird thing about it. I really have nothing that would be overwhelming going on. I live a pretty happy life. Nothing crazy going on right now. I don't sleep good at night time either. Like last night I still slept about 7 hours or so, just not good, but today I feel really awake, but my eyes feel tired. I know that sounds crazy, but it just bothers me because I would love to just be able to get off work, go home and do what I need to do and go to bed, and actually sleep all night.

    That's how anxiety work. Sometimes it's worse than other times. So try not to worry too much about it. Best wishes to you!

      Thank you. I have just never had anxiety before. Last year I started with anxious thoughts....but thats all it was...just thoughts. Then in January I woke up in the middle of the night with a panic attack, and I have not been the same since. It really sucks.

    I don't sleep well either.  Bad dreams often and often related to my mom who I am taking care of long distance.  It's very difficult to do that and I have to go visit again next week and am tense about it since I also hate flying!  She has Alzheimers and I it's a very unhappy visit.  I do all her finances and doing that also adds to the concerns.  Also, my job right now has me under pressure.  I dislike taking Klonapin and try not to if I can calm myself.  It does work though.

      Goodness. Yeah I can definitely see why you are anxious and feeling overwhelmed. Klonopin sometimes works for me but sometimes if I take it at night I wake up with worse anxiety and sometimes even a "euphoric jittery" type feeling, i don't know how to explain it. I don't take any meds what so ever since all of this started with me. It started about 10 months ago in January. Since then I have tried Lexapro, Hydroxyzine, and Klonopin, and I did not like any of them. I was super sensitive to all of them..... speaking of, is that another symptom of anxiety?

    Yeah that’s what my doc said. My fear is being bipolar even though my doc and psych said I’m not. But when I had these symptoms and googled it, bipolar came up and guess what...... more anxiety came about. This has definitely been the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my whole life.

      Is that anxiety too? I do that sometimes when I’m at work and I’m stuck at my desk for the majority of the day. The inside of my cheek though not my lip as much.

      It could be because when my anxiety is pretty high I just cant stop biting the skin off as much as I try to stop lol

    Does anybody’s anxiety sometimes make them feel really tired and fatigued, and then other times really awake, and not tired, just nervous feeling?
