Restless
I am so restless today. I cannot focus on ANYTHING. I have a history paper to write OR I could work on my journalism stuff...but I can't focus on it. I tried reading a book for pleasure...got all antsy on the couch. I can't even sit and watch tv. It's driving me batty. I would go for a walk but I can't stand the heat. The last time I remember feeling this restless was when I went off a medication and restlessness was a discontinuation symptom. I went for a two-hour walk that evening. I was so upset but I couldn't even really cry, so I just walked...and walked. I think part of it is just PMS. I also should have had that bcp this morning but I'm a day ahead. I'm pretty sensitive to hormones and medications, so maybe that's it?
Do you ever get hardcore restless? What do you do to combat it?
Re: Restless
I usually pray my neighbor will invite me to come swimming and drink a few beers.
Or I have a couple of beers, take a few deep breaths and call someone I can talk crazy to for an hour or so.I have some cosmos in the fridge...ha. I sat here, legs bouncing away, and typed up a blog post just to keep my limbs busy, and that helped immensely. I think part of it is just nerves about classes next month and this paper that I can't seem to get a grasp on.
Yeah... I'm naturally a pretty stressed/nervous/anxious person, so I get this feeling fairly often. Whatever you do, don't drink coffee. O_O
No worries there. I can't stand coffee :P I try to keep the stress under wraps, and am a lot better than I used to be, but I still have my days.
At least I haven't broken out in a stress rash in a long time.
Shopping
Booze
Hang out in the pool
I did! I went to lunch with a friend yesterday. I really think it's just nerves. I feel better today. I couldn't even fall asleep last night because I was still a little wired.
Stripes--trying to avoid the shopping--want to go on vacation later this summer :P Must....save....money........
