How To Ease That Restless Feeling?

[sheath]

My restlessness has taken the form of quite pleasurable work, thank goodness...I finally feel as though the reckless feeling has been banked, but not for long. Maybe just channelled? I'm writing more in the last few days than I have ever written in my entire life.

If you are interested in what I've been doing, you can click on the first link at the bottom of the page. Shameless plug, maybe, but hey...it's what I've been doing! lol

I still have a need to howl at the moon, to run wild through fields, to break the speed limit and do things that would make me blush when I thought of them later. I actually am coming to like this feeling. I feel...wild. Free. Shameless and decadent.

Shameless and decadent.

And enjoyable, don't forget that.

Honestly, darlin'...

I am glad that your creativity has gotten a trampoline. It'll be a lot easier to bounce ideas off you when you're feeling bouncy.

I have never been happier than I am at this moment right now for you, knowing that you've been through hell and come out the other side with a fistful of experiences that you refuse to be afraid of.

It'll be a good week.

It WILL be a good week. A good month. A very good year.

It is good to just be alive, ain't it?

I was SO restless, I double posted.

Jeez, what cheap thrills I get sometimes. Whoohoo.

*nods sagely* Yes, and yes. While I don't break the speed limit, I know how you feel, I believe. Because there will be points when I have to get up and just dance -- another good thing about being the lone late-shifter at the office is that I can bounce around the empty spaces and not worry about bothering the neighbors. Who needs formal dancing when you can just go crazy, as the song goes?

There is the feeling of unrestrained living that comes with the moment; the urge to grin at absolutely nothing; laugh from the bottom of your heart, and that's when the bleakness and blackness goes away.

Sometimes it's just that easy -- but you've found that out for yourself.

As for the story you've got in progress; I'm enjoying the show, and working up the nerve to write and post something of my own.

I'll get there. One step at a time, indeedy.

restlessness...i just feel the need to flirt and act outrageously....generally be a bit wild......but with women....which is rather difficult in the "normal" suburban situation. Its OK with very close friends who know where the boundaries lie.....but even then there are usually others around who are unsettled by the antics and don't appreciate that its all good clean fun. All very inhibiting.......I'm getting the impression that the sport and gardening are the supposed cures but these are as attractive as the old cold shower remedy! Tried writing .... it was good but needed peace, quiet, and a bottle of malt ......which is tough with a young family and made the early morning commute a bit tough!

Still searching for the answer though

I haven't visited this thread in a while, so...

I'm actually getting accustomed to this restless feeling. It hasn't really gone away...if anything, it has gotten worse. I feel as though one of the earlier posts was correct...I'm learning to relive my life on my own terms, and the possibilities are endless. So...the restlessness is my mind trying to fill all that wide open space.

Maybe it is. I have come to a space where I am comfortable with wanting to do something reckless and crazy. And I'm almost comfortable with actually DOING something reckless and crazy. It feels good to feel this way, most of the time...it just took one hell of a long while to get used to it. It scared the fuck out of me in the beginning, to be honest.

So while I'm still looking for 'cures', I'm not as concerned with that anymore as I am with embracing whatever it is that is flowing through my veins. Call it spring fever, call it sexual tension, call it the rush of finally being free and content with that...but whatever it is, howling at the moon is definitely on my to-do list.

Any more suggestions on how you deal with the overwhelming need to just not be yourself for a while? Or maybe I should put that another way...on how to deal with, and learn to embrace, what it feels like to finally and truly BE yourself?
