That rush rush err! feeling

[dave01]

My anxiety comes in phases when i am having a bad time, i just can't stop myself from doing everything in a total frantic rush, driving, housework, diy' anything. I constantly feel like i'm living at 100 miles an hour, it's so hard to switch off, even though sometimes i have a lot of time on my hands it does n't stop the rushing feeling. just wandered if anyone else felt the same and how they manage it.
Thanx
Dave.

I feel like that sometimes and worry that it means Im manic - see the Stephen Fry worry tv post! Other days I have no energy at all.

Hi Dave,
I know exactly what you mean. I feel like i'm in a race most of the time. Ive always thought its stress from having too much to do and not enough time to do it,but that cant be right cos some days I dont feel that way but still have the same things to do. I wish I knew the answer to stop the rushed feeling,but I feel better knowing someone else has the same as me. Take care.

I'm the same Dave. I think its a mind thing, if u keep rushing around an d u keep busy it keeps your mind off the fact you are having an anxious day. I too rush around like a looney most days then on the odd day my body says "not today" and goes completely the opposite and I hve no energy or urge to do anything (bit like today really)

Hi Dave

I can totaly relate to you too, its like i cant bear to have anything in my mind, so i have to get all the jobs done quickly so i have nothing to think about. i cant leave anything until the next day or it drives me mad thinking about it in my head. I geuss we have to learn to relax more.

Love
