restless...

[EveWasFramed]

Do you ever feel restless? Not in the pysical way, but in other ways, such as emotionally or mentally restless? What makes people feel this way? Is this something that one can ever put their finger on?

 

[cheaptrickfan]

Oh all the time. I'll get restless and unfocused, which just makes the restlessness worse because then I just feel aimless. In my case, I suspect that the root cause is my brain chemistry's general state of imbalance.

i think we feel that way when we ignore our true wants and needs for too long. the conscious plays along, but the subconscious never even makes it to the party.

It's sort of an emotional/mental cabin fever. We stick ourselves in subconscious ruts sometimes, and that restless feeling is the result. That's how I see it.

The only cure for it is to escape from our own heads for a while. Exist outside our boxes for an hour or two.

That usually does it for me, anyway.

I'd say its all the uncertainties of life that you try so hard to understand, but can never even come close to comprehending.

so, basically, toke a fattie? LOL

I feel mentally restless all the time. My thoughts jump here jump there jump all around. My brain simply will never stop moving around.

I also feel restless many times. I think I know what you are talking about. By me, it is more like mental restlessness, like I don't know what to do with myself. Like, should I do this, or should I do that.... Usually I end up just surfing the internet lol.

A lot of times, I feel better when I have a really fun fulfilling time with a friend, especially with a girl lol. But that rarely happens, so, I end up just asking myself what I want to do, and end up doing nothing.

It's like, you know when you want to do something, but not sure what specifically, so you don't end up doing anything.

Does anyone have that happen to them too?

 

[Steel]

I get the feeling there is something I should be doing.

lol

it is bad though.. like.. er.. cause.. like.. the govornament said so and stuff..

idk about 'restless'.. maybe a little energetic sometimes.. i don't really feel like i should be doing something i am not. maybe i've forgotten that there was something i was supposed to want to do.. idk.

 

[EveWasFramed]

Good replies, guys....very interesting.

 

[Lonesome Crow]

mmm...too much starbuck perhaps.hahahaa

I know it passes but I don't like it...it's very dangeruous for me...because I don't
make the best of decisions when I feel this way. I just want to do something to make it stop.
It general starts me on a drink, partying binge or my other addictions such as sex.

I describe it as bordom...when anything and everything I do is boring to me.
I want some excitement in my life...that's why I pick psycho ******* as my gf....hahahaaaa
I feel like I need to live life on the edge.

That's why I used to ride my motor cycle balls to the wall...but my ex-gf didn't like it.

It's like i need to spend a couple of weeks at six flags to release all the energy.
or go crazy on my guitar and just let it rip.
or I feel like just breaking stuff.
or i feel like self sabating.

mmmm..I've been feeling like this for the past month or so...
it comes out in many forms...such as " I don't give a ****"
I know what trigggered it. I still feel I'm not in total control of my life and a lot of things arn't going my way.
I'm trying not to react as much....
I'll tell on myself though. I've been going on a shoping spreed for the past couple of weeks. It just my addiction morphing
or I'm substituting. I don't even wear 90% of the clothe I've purchased. I'm not a fucken none though. hahahaaaa

 

[EveWasFramed]

I dont know how, but I actually understood that. lol

 

[mintymint]

I'm comfortably numb

 

[EveWasFramed]

It's all the altoids, lol.

 

[Badjedidude]

Altoids don't do it for me anymore. I sometimes go on mint binges and I lose my sensitivity the deeper I get into it...so right now I'm chomping Halls like crazy. Not the candy stuff, either. The cough drops. Someone help me! lol

LMAO!

 

[SophiaGrace]

when I'm stuck in my dorm and there is four feet of snow outside, that's when I become restless.

 

[EveWasFramed]

I become restless when I run out of Altoids.
