Necris Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) This may sound strange but suddenly I'm feeling a need to be constantly on the move, which is odd for me since I'm usually feeling slow and laidback. I don't know I just feel like I have alot more energy or something, and I have been able to do far more with my time lately and get stuff done which is good, my mood is better, I'm also feeling smarter and more imaginitive which is also good. I'm also feeling hyper-active, extremely figedity (not sure if spelling this right), and easy to get anxious. I also feel that my thinking is getting more disorganized and crazier. Even my music tastes seem different since now I just want to listen to loud music with super fast beats. I also keep getting random adrenaline rushes throughout the day for some reason like right now my heart is racing, and I keep thinking about sex. So why do you think I'm feeling this way and do you ever feel this way? Edited April 20, 2012 by Necris
Eternal Sunshine Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Honestly, I would go and see a doctor. It sounds like you may be having a manic episode. Also, it's a good idea to check your adrenal glands and thyroid function, since over-production of either hormones can cause you to feel like you describe.

Thieves Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Weird! I've kind of been feeling the same way lately -- well, more with the "fast music" bit and having a lot more energy, seeing as I'm usually pretty laidback as well. Really, I'd most likely just chalk it up to being in different moods at different points in our lives/personalities, even if they're rather minor changes in the overall big picture. Sometimes it's not a bad thing, as it makes things more interesting, in my opinion. However, the part of your post where you mentioned your heart racing extra fast, getting anxious easily, fidgety... that made me worry a bit, and I'd keep an eye on that. Like Eternal Sunshine said, if you really start to become concerned (and it sounds like you are), it definitely wouldn't hurt at all to go to the doctor and tell them what you've been feeling like lately.
FitChick Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 You are possessed by the devil. Either that or hyperthyroid so have a blood test.
Author Necris Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 Has anything changed in your lifestyle recently? No, not really.
OliveOyl Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Are you in your late teens or 20s? Bipolar disorder often surfaces in that time-frame. Everything you're describing points to either hypomania (which isn't necessarily a bad thing IF it doesn't progress further) or full-blown mania (which is life-disrupting). When you get to the point where you can't sleep, your mind can't stop racing, you have compulsions to spend inordinate amounts of money (or give away inordinante amounts of money), or sleep with strangers, then it's getting to be a problem.
maybealone Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Unless you have recently fallen in love or started exercising, I would also recommend having your thyroid checked.

I am 20 and I don't have any problems sleeping or really any compulsions, but my mind can't stop racing with all kinds of crazy thoughts.
