Hey there lately I've had some major stress issues come up. Something I've never been good at and tend to just shut-down and get depressed...yada yada...

anyways, I feel like my body can't take it anymore. It feels like it's freaken out on me... Yesturday at work I felt like I was shaking inside.....Like how you have to move your body on the outside to keep "stuff" working....thats how my body on the inside was going...I was at work and went into my dads office cause he wasn't in and just stood there in the dark...and tryed to calm myself...i couldn't though i had to keep moving around the whole office...i tried stretching and everything nothing worked.....I only had two cups of coffee yesturday...no red-bulls like normal (broke now, have to drink office coffee) I started to get really annoyed with everyone to.. like i couldn't handle just talking to anyone....once I left work and then took my daughter to my sisters for the night ... got home and cleaned up...I was fine... And had a great night...

Today it's started again..this time earlier and I can't stop "moving" inside. I don't know if it's nerves or what...I do have a lot I'm stressing on though:

My bestest friends second baby is due on Monday she's already at 2.5cm.
My roommate is extreemly emotionaly abusive...trying to save to move out alone
Money issues....down payments on a car suck!!!

Thats about it...but I'm SO stressed I think??? Everything else is fine with my b/f and my daughter...she's been doing pretty good....I have to ask her doctor about her tip-toe walking and her rocking back and forth all the time...but other than that she's well above in the development stage for a kid her age... I guess I might be a bit stressed about her...

But yeah, i'm shaking on the outside more so than normal...i'm always moving but today and yesturday its like i've had to pee for hours and am waiting for the bathroom to be free.....i hate bringing attention to myself but i can't stop moving....if i stop i feel like my brain is stuck or spinning.

Oh yeah, i'm not on any meds ... (add & boarderline & ocd)

Flygirl is okay. You have to tell yourself that everything is going to be okay. You have you ever just decided to take a walk in the morning before the world wake up and i mean if you have to run all of that stress out. Hey it worked for me. I just meditate for awhile after. Don't look at the whole picture sometimes just look at what you have to do that hour or that day. maybe that will help. If not then take some muscles relaxers. lol girl you will be in my prayers

I can't take ADD medication anymore, because of the side effects, so I developed some herbal cheats. That jumpy shaky feeling can be contracted by taking six mg melatonin {I use "source naturales" but any standardized brand will do} at least 12 hours before you have to get up in the morning. You'll notice this is double the usual starting dosage. This is because you want it to last well into the next day instead of wearing off by the time you wake up.. If you do it right, you should feel like you're slightly walking underwater throughout the next day and very calm overall -- although from an intellectual level, you'll still be aware everything that's bothering you. Increase or decrease the dosage to get the exact affect you need.

Stumbled on this fix while staying for a week with my friend Kim, who's a nurse. She was trying to help me with my insomnia, which is what this supplement is normally used for. Doesn't do much for sleep, but it totally works for this :-) you can also pile on the caffeine /ADD drugs without losing the calming effect in my experience.

A couple of medical reasons some people can't take this supplement, so look it up before taking . Also, do your experiments with it on the weekends to find out what works, because it can make you oversleep if the dose is too high for you personally.

Hope this helps :-)

I completely understand!!!LOL!!!Before my meds and even sometimes now,I still do it.What I do is GO HOME.LOL!!!Thats easy for me to do though because I dont work,Im a housewife and mother(Which is the hardest job in the workd by the way.LOL!!!)Sometimes I think I would like to work!!!LOL!!!But to be serious now,its a terrible and uncontrolable feeling,like your ready to pop,or have a heart attack in between.Breath,go to a safe place.Something you like.A book,a pillow or anything that grounds you to something.Just try it,it might work.Good luck....

I get that too sometimes. Usually for normal stress just being really active for a bit tends to help. I have to move around or I get this really unpleasant tense feeling...but somtimes under more stress no amount of moving can help and it feels like theres this huge buildup of excess energy in me and no way to let it out andi ts SO frusterating.

Not quite the same, but one time I got so stressed out I clenched my teeth in my sleep and my jaw sealed shut for several days. I had to take an antinflammatory for two weeks just so I could open my mouth properly and painlessly.

That just proves our bodies do wierd things under stress.

I have yet to figure out what to do about this, so im really glad you posted this and I hope someone presents us with some advice. It really hinders your ability to function properly.
