Hello, just writing to see if anyone ever has days when they feel wound up? I’ve been feeling wound up for the last few days. It sucks. I just finished working out for about an hour. I also meditated, and I’m still feeling wound up. I’m on 2 meds plus I take Xanax when needed. I also cut back tremendously on caffeine. Any advise? Thanks. Samson

Samson, good timing because today I am wound up like a top. (actually the last several days) I try keeping my muscles moving in doing things so that my mind has less time to ruminate. Not easy because the thoughts are always trying to take over. I usually mediate but today having some trouble in keeping my mind focused on the calming words. I'm trying to stay hydrated as well. Just put a call into my therapist and have a phone session in 45 minutes. That's always my out if nothing else works.
There are days and this is one of them.
I hear ya. It’s rough. I’m currently disabled and waiting for my social security hearing so I’ve got lots on my plate. I’ve always been an avid weightlifter so I did train this morning. I hate feeling like this. I did see my therapist yesterday and I’m actually going to a support group on Thursday. Thanks for responding. Samson
Yes I get those days, I'd say most do. You have to ask yourself if someone or something is winding you up? And if so change it. Also do something that relaxes you, even if it's just listening to music. Good luck x
