Hi Tricia

I have severe anxiety and panics also and find I can't relax or keep still at all. It must be all the adrenaline. I can cope with it during the day but I hate it when it comes to night time as I can't sit still and watch tv and getting to sleep is awful. I find I am constantly moving my legs or feet. If I force myself to stop moving then my head starts spinning!

I think some people are just more "twitchy" than others. My partner isn't a particularly anxious person, but he always seems to have loads of excess energy and very rarely sits still. I suspect this is why he is always a perfect weight for his height (damn him, damn him...... :D)

I get this from time to time but I used to get it a lot when my anxiety first started, I would move my leg or tap something or mess at my lip constantly. It's an anxious thing as I've calmed down a lot and hardly ever do it now. I used to find it difficult to fully relax, I was always on my guard incase something went wrong I suppose...
