Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone recognize this. I am an over thinker and I am used to think about things that happened and things that may happen etc.

But, I notice that I often feel so restless during the day. Perhaps this has to do something with my autism (and sometimes I assume I also have ADD).. but I can't really put my finger on it. I am usually not living 'in the moment' , and I guess that is difficult to a lot of people.
However, it's so weird. When it's morning, I am waiting for the afternoon. When it's afternoon, I am thinking about the evening. And in the evening, I really want the day to be over and want it to be a next day. Then, when I wake up in the morning, I am quite 'happy' to start a new day, but usually only half an hour later I wish it was evening and I could go to bed. I feel like I need to rush without a reason.
The present is making me nervous somehow.
Sometimes I feel like life is just a sort of game and I need to go through each day, trying to survive. That sounds kind of lame maybe, but I just don't know how to describe it properly.

I have this restless feeling for a long time now, also when I was younger. Maybe I have this feeling stronger when I'm in a stressful period or so, I don't know, but I honestly can't remember a day where I felt completely calm , not thinking about what would happen next, not feeling rushed.
Does anyone recognize this? If so, how do you deal with it? There must be something that helps me to get throughout the day without constantly feeling so rushed. I find it hard to distract myself. Even if I do things I like or I am around other people. Though it helps me a little bit, when I am alone i usually am feeling more rushed.
But I can't come up with one thing that really makes me feel calm for at least 1 hour or so.
It's stupid because life is too short and I just want to enjoy my life . It's important to live in the moment and I'm guessing it must be possible somehow..

Sorry, I think I am not very good at explaining and keeping it brief, but hope you can help me

Feeling rushed is caused by anxiety. The anxiety probably got started in early childhood. Seeing a Therapist may help you, and understanding the root cause of your anxiety.

I agree. A therapist could really help you with this.

thank you for your response!
I must say that my mood changes throughout the day and there are some moments I feel a bit calm. But usually I feel really rushed. I am prone to anxiety but I don't have a certain thing I am afraid of at the moment.. Perhaps I am unaware of it and i am feeling anxious constantly.
I hope there is a solution. I will talk about this with my psychologist next week. I always thought that the restless is just part of my character but I don't think I should feel this way most of the time..
It is complicated though!
