Lately I get really agitated and pace a lot. There's just like this tension inside me that I can't release and it's caused by nothing. I could be starting a hypomanic episode I'm not sure? I couldn't sleep last night until like 3am and I just feel so tightly wound. The tension fills my thoughts and confuses me and I can't focus on any of the things I want to get done. Sometimes I get filled with joy this way too it's just electric and I can't sit still or focus. This has followed an extremely happy couple of weeks where I just wanted to hug everyone and the world was beautiful and I was getting a ridiculous amount of stuff at least half done and now I have so much energy I can't focus it!
Has anyone else experienced this? I can barely sit down or be still haha I'm typing standing up then off to pace some more my roommates might start to ask questions soon

I experience this often in my manic and mixed states and its hard. Have you tried taking an OTC sleep med to try and sleep? If is doesnt make you sleep, it may at least help sedate you some so you can feel at ease.

I used to pace for several hours straight each day

Pacing is oddly satisfying

Right now I am in a mixed state and I have been pacing a lot. The agitation, restlessness and irritability and immense. It is a awful state to be in. Everyone/thing is going to slow for me and my concentration is terrible. the pacing is oddly satisfying. n fact it seems impossible not to pace.

I have been in that place before where I need to pace. Going for a walk helps a bit.
