I don't think that I've ever truly understood the phrase "feeling like you could jump out of your skin." I always get this mental image of a person literally shedding their skin in one giant leap and becoming...well, skinless. However, it is a phrase that I have picked up and like to use to describe a certain way that I feel where I feel so antsy my skin feels weird and confining. I think it's useful for a lot of us to summarize that anxious feeling.

Has anyone ever thought that they were ready to jump out of their own skin without ever having encountered the phrase in the first place?

And what does jumping out of your own skin feel like to you?
