I feel like I'm trapped inside of my body. Like I need to tear out of my skin. It feels like a tight annoying body suit right now. Christ. I need to get out! It's suffocating me.

I've def felt like this before. Can you do something physical to that you're a little less physically agitated? That can lessen the physical agitation for me, otherwise I have to take some ativan.

Think I might have to talk to my doc about getting me on some meds or something. At the moment I'm in the office so I'm stretching and bouncing in my chair. Why didn't my skin come with a zipper, dammit?

I feel this way myself..........very very often.

I experience this quite often. Usually when I'm about to shift into hypomania, in hypomania or in a mixed episode. But mostly hypomania. You nailed the description on the head. I feel I need to get out of my skin. I thought it was just me. I wish I has a helpful suggestion for you but I haven't even figured out how to help myself with this one yet. I hope you find relief. Hugs to you ((((iam30113)))).

I hate that you guys have to go through this but I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one. Sometimes it gets so bad I look like a drug addict in withdrawal just shaking or rocking in the fetal position. There have been times where I have legitimately thought I was going to die bc it felt like I was going to explode. I've just laid there and waited for it to happen. Clearly it never does..... I usually just pray until it goes away. Definitely praying for you now too...

Thanks a lot guys. It really is great to know others have been down the same road before you. It might get worse today because I barely slept last night and I have a long day ahead of me so I went and had coffee. Sigh.

Rough? Maybe not. I think I'm way up on Hypo street and I ain't coming back for a while. I like it here. Such lovely houses. Wonder if I can buy one and make this my permanent residence...

Quick, before the evil MONday gets here! Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That. Sadly. But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top. I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
