really bad anxiety attacks from being bored

for about a year now, i've been getting these terrible anxiety attacks from not doing anything or not doing anything that stimulates my brain enough. i've looked all over the internet and can't find anything about this or anyone who experiences similar things.

basically what happens is after maybe an hour of boredom, my thoughts start racing and racing. i feel like i have all this energy that i can't put into anything. everything i try to cure my boredom feels like its "not enough" and then i'm desperate to find a new activity. the cycle of jumping from activity to activity goes on for maybe ten minutes and then the worst part starts.

at this point i can't focus on any activity. i tense all my muscles and curl up in a ball. i feel like screaming and thrashing my body around and throwing things but i just sit there. i feel like an exploding volcano that somebody put a plug in. tears just come out. a lot of times i'll pull on my hair or dig my nails into my skin. i really can't convey how horrible it is, just that it feels like the world is ending. it keeps getting worse and worse and then eventually it starts to wear off until the feeling is gone. the whole process lasts about an hour and happens a few times a week. i'm not even actually sure if its anxiety, but thats the closest word i can find

does anyone else get this? it would help a bunch just to know that other people get these. and if anyone knows why i get these or how to deal with them i would love to hear it.
