Thanks Dexter. I haven't been diagnosed by anyone other than an internist years ago, and he just said I was depressed and anxious. This is the first time I'll be seeing a psychiatrist ever.

I'm generally not an anxious person, just during extremely stressful times like dealing with my ex husband.

But I'll have times when I feel like I've been plugged into an electrical outlet. A good example is last week I decided that my work space had to be rearranged right then and there. I had a ton of work to get done (for pay) but I couldn't relax until I had that nagging chore taken care of. I was feeling elated that I had this unusual burst of energy and inspiration to solve a problem. I was going fast and furious and it took me maybe 20 minutes to get the old computer unhooked, put away, the cart rearranged, power cords rearranged, dust bunnies swept up, and the kitchen table put in a different position. Then I was doing my transcription like my fingers were on fire. All of this after only one cup of coffee. I have coffee all the time. It never affects me more than clearing the morning cobwebs out, or making it hard to fall asleep at night.
