At first, I assumed it to be a symptom of anxiety as I had quite severe social anxiety as a child, but I do not feel particularly "anxious" when it occurs. I simply feel uncomfortable. I would definitely say I feel "revved up" as a result. I feel as though I need to move really, really quickly to a secluded area.
I can say with the utmost confidence I do not suffer from hypermania, as I've witnessed quite a few of my father's episodes.
