[taurushead]

hi guys :bow:

so...this sounds really vague and stupid..but its been going on for a week now and its really frustrating me. ive had this odd but constant feeling and i need to shake it.

its like..its like...aggitation or edginess..sort of. ive upped the exercise..thinking maybe it was a lack of movement. but its not working. excercise has started taking up too much time, in fact. i can't sit still and can't concentrate on anything. i know that describes a lot of people and what not..but its starting to annoy me. i haven't slept more than 6 hours on any given night but im not tired. i feel like im going..i dont know..too fast. and i can't slow down. and when i have to slow down (ie . no classes) i can't..so i run and run and run. and still cant sit still . i dont know. its hard to explain and sounds really dumb. i tried eating a big carby meal..nothing. in fact im hungry 24/7.
i dont know what to do. its the concentration bit that gets me most. its like i can't focus on a single thought. or something. i dontk now.

I sometimes get like that if I'm anxious, sometimes for no reason at all.

Sorry, can't think of anything else.

Is there something that has been on you mind? or are you on any kind of meds? even bitrh control pills? I don't know...sounds kinda like anxiety, but i am no expert and I don't know about the being thirsty thing. I get kinda like that by times, but not usually that extreme.

Sounds like your adrenal glands have gotten overactive for some reason. Your adrenal glands produce all sorts of corticoids and catecholemines, including epinephrine, aka adrenalin. Adrenalin would increase your heartrate, breathing rate, make your saliva more watery & more prone to drying up, decrease your gut motility...generally keep you super-alert. Your thyroid, since it stimulates your adrenals, may very well be the culprit.

Since your anxiety seems so generalized, and it's been a fairly sudden onset, without an obvious emotional event, that would be my bet. And of course, my recommendation would be...just guess...see your doctor!

I've had similar experiences, although more localized (restless leg syndrome, and also akathisia brought on by medication), and I know they can be very upsetting. Keep us posted, OK?

Could just be general anxiety or stress. But as the above post said it could also be the sign of an over active thyroid, though it seems unsual to have such a sudden onset of symptoms. If it continues i'd head to the doctors and get some blood work done. Never hurts to get these things checked out.
