I am not content...ever feel this way?

KAG061876

I am tired, but dont want to sleep. I am a little bored and nothing is really of interest to me right now.

I am generally feeling a little "off"....a tiny bit anxious and antsy too.

Do you ever feel like this?

YES and that is when I usaully do something nice for myself

Yes! I know exactly what you are talking about. It drives DH crazy. He doesn't understand feeling this way and not really doing anything to change it... but I just can't explain it to him.

It always passes, so I just remind myself of that and deal with it. Hope it passes for you soon.

I definitely get like that....especially on Friday evenings. I tend to not make big plans for Fri nights and then I end up wanting to do something but I'm never sure what. Some cures for me are shopping, wine, a good magazine or doing my nails. hmmmmmmm or nesting.

Yup.  Kind of like you want to crawl out of your own skin, but for no good reason?  I get like this from time to time, and find (found) a glass of wine and a good book would sometimes do the trick.  Or forcing myself to do SOMETHING (go out, watch a movie, etc) would help at other times.

Yes! A bath/shower sometimes helps me!

Mrs.Forger

Oh yes. It's a very uncomfortable, frustrating feeling. I usually take my dog to the park when I get that way - go for a nice long walk there and get all my "kinks" out. Or, if you feel like you need to relax more than get out, have a glass or two of wine and take a bath. HTH!

All the time.  When I was in college I coined the feeling as being "aggidy", a cross between aggrivated and agitated.  I don't know that I have a cure, buying something doesn't really help, chocolate can, I usually just have to wait for it to pass.

I have found that I get that way 1-3 days per month....its not PMS since the days vary. But I think its Hormonal...Sometimes its like my body feels anxious or nervous (like anxiety or panic attacks) but I mentally dont feel a reason for anxiety...I think I will call it aggidy from now on....I like that word!!

Yup, I know how you feel.  It happens to me sometimes.  Don't know why.  Hope your feeling better.

Mrs.MJP

I don't mean this to be inconsiderate - but the first thing I thought of when I read your post is how I remember oncefeeling that way every now and then...before I had kids and now I can't remember when the last time I felt that way was and how I'd LOVE to feel that way for just one hour one day.  Ok - so basically my advice to you is to soak it up.  You may long for some "not content time" someday! )

By the way - I am so super excited for you and the new "journey" you're taking soon!  I JUST CANNOT WAIT until you're a mom!  You are going to be one fabulous mommy - I have goose bumps while I'm typing this!

KAG061876

Mrs. MJP- thats so nice of you. I cant wait either.

I guess I should clarify. What I am feeling is like a pervasive anxiety that is making me want to crawl out of my own skin.... its not good at all.

Mrs.MJP

I do know what you mean and I have felt like that before.  You have a lot going on and even more coming up - you have every right to feel this way.  I hope you feel better soon!  )

If you feel like driving to East Hampton - I have more than 12 bottles of wine to choose from.  The girls are asleep and Mike went to meet one of his friends out at a bar...  ;o)

jess98ac

Like you have to do something/go somewhere/eat something, but no task/place/food is appealing or making you seem like you'd feel better?

Mrs.MJP

And to add on - there is stuff going on and you're missing it...?

KAG061876

Yes, yes and YES!

I am trying to keep my mind off it, and Grace is indulging me and playing online Scrabble with me-- thanks Grace!

I am pretty sure its related to these pills I am taking now.

Thanks for the wine offer, but I had a 1/2 glass before and it made me feel a little woozy.

jess98ac

I've definitely felt like that...and I've found that other than something to take the "edge" off like I said earlier, time is the only thing that made me feel better.  FWIW, I've never woken up feeling the same way!!  Hope it passes!

KAG061876

Thanks Jess, me too.....I might head to bed soon so see if I can sleep it off. :-)

What Kelly meant to say is "I am kicking Grace's a$$ in Scrabble"

happygirl277

I definitely have days/moments when I feel like that..anxiety is a terrible feeling, especially when you can't put yoru finger on exactly what is making you feel this way.  Sometimes when I am feeling anxious I will take a long, hot shower, go for a walk, go to bed, deep breathing (like yoga breathing), read a magazine, watch mindless tv, go for a drive...if I can pin point the cause I "try" to self talk myself out of it. 
Hope  you are feeling better soon!!!  Hormones can play a huge role also so it is very possible that the pills you are on may be causing some anxious feelings....hang in there!! :0)

Mrs.Mango

Not to be a total downer, but you can expect to feel this way for the next few weeks - on and off, of course, but still present.  You are taking a very emotionally and physically taxing journey right now, and stress/anxiety manifests itself in strange ways.  I hope you're feeling better soon!

I have def felt this way before, and also found that is most often happens when I'm going through life changing events or I'm really stressed out.  Unfortunately I've never found a "cure", I just kinda had to ride it out and let it pass.  Considering all that is going on lately, I'm not surprised you're feeling this way, you have a lot going on.  Look at the bright side, on some subconscious level your body and brain probably know that your life is about to change, and that is a great thing!
