So Impatient, this feeling that you are describing sounds very much like anxiety. Anxiety isn't necessarily about being scared. It is just like what you are describing. Having regular episodes for no particular reason is called anxiety attacks. Now if you felt like this because of a traumatic event it would be considered normal and would go away by itself.

But, if this is occuring ramdomly and for no good reason, it requires the evaluation of your doctor. It could be caused by many things, and is usually correctable. You mention that food helped. Perhaps you have a sugar imbalance or there is some other chemical imbalance of your body. Something that could help is to make sure you are eating reguarly and getting healthy foods. This is important for ADDers anyway.

Please see your doctor about this feeling. Tell them what you have told us in this post and in others. If you don't feel you can remember, print out your posts.

Best wishes.
