Constant nervousness.

[Mavis12]

I’m just wondering if this is normal or not.

I feel like I’m in a constant state of nervousness. It’s not as intense as anxiousness though.

I’m wondering if I need to increase my meds a little or if this is just something that I’ll always have to deal with.

I would say this is pretty normal. Nervousness is like the precursor to anxiety. I would not increase your medications unless told to do so by a physician or the prescribing doctor as upping the dose could increase this feeling you have OR your anxiety in general while the medication alters the chemistry of the body. I would think, as a form of energy, it should decrease as it wears your body out from tensing up. I would highly recommend trying some meditation, mindfulness, or the combination using some deep breathing techniques. Give yourself 10 minutes to "be okay" with feeling nervous while you do the things I mention because it might feel slightly uncomfortable letting your guard now, but you will be okay. In the mean time, if this is persisting, I would call your doctor to line up a follow-up visit. This list here: anxietycentre.com/anxiety-s... outlines the hundreds or thousands of symptoms that anxiety causes and nervousness like this is on the list. If it's out of the realm of normal for you and your anxiety, definitely see a doctor to see if there's another cause, but I don't think this is something to worry on as it'll just drive your anxiety up. If you're truly in doubt and you are worried this is something serious, definitely don't hesitate to get immediate help. It doesn't sound you're at that point, but just pointing it out as a formality I hope you feel better and are able to relax more comfortably.
