I can't stop feeling randomly psychotic like for some reason. Just moments ago I was feeling fine and suddenly all I want to do is smile like a dork and laugh. I'm getting edgy and pacing while fiddling with my hands in my hair and clothes. I just don't seem to calm down until something instantly agitates me, but I return to feeling overly active.

It's kind of hard enough to have an overbearing inconclusive thought to if I'm actually feeling excited or not. I really can't tell if I'm happy or anything. The point I'm trying to make is how I should calm myself. I'm not normally this excited sometimes, it happens I know, but it's almost seldom and when I am I get sadistic thoughts of harming so I don't want to get overreacted in case I do get so far.

Are you on any medication. Are you anxious about anything in your life right now.

Definitely get professional input if you haven't already because this might be symptomatic of something that needs medical control. Distraction is good also - something that can hold your focus like a puzzle, crossword or Sudoku. Sounds simplistic but the best solutions usually are. I'm not one for meditation and 'soothing' - i think in times of intense energy and agitation it's about finding something to occupy that attention until the moment has passed. Something physically and mentally distracting might be best; cooking, decorating and shopping come to mind. I hope you find what works for you.

No, it just happens at random, it comes as spikes for no reason. I'm fine now, I did distract myself by listening to calming music and pacing though.
