I want to explain my situation and then see if anyone has any advie or goes through the same things.

Every once in a while I get these cravings to do things. Usually they are very specific. Call this person, go to this place, Do this certain thing and when it happens I HAVE to do it. Even if in trying to do it I go against every anxiety and issue I usually have. And If i can't do it I just feel sooo wrong.

At the moment I am having a craving something but the problem is I don't know what its for. I feel like i'm going to jump out of my skin or start crying or randomly laughing or do something crazy lol.

How do you fix a craving if you don't know what you're craving?

Does anyone else get this way? What do you do to fix it?

I feel like i'm not explaining this very good. If not tell me and I will try better.

Interestingly, and perhaps fittingly, most of my cravings have been for food. Sometimes I just have to get to the Chinese buffet or I feel unfulfilled. There's been times when I just had to catalog music on my computer and nothing can stop me. Other times I've just had to go for a walk or a bike ride just to get some exercise. Yeah. I know what cravings feel like but I don't try to fix them. I just let them be.

yeah, get that a lot.
Like I get a craving to watch kind of show or movie , but I just don't know what.
I will spend a long time going through the NetFlix catalog looking for something probably is not there.
Or I want to go someplace, but I have no idea where.
Then other times its more realistic, I have to walk around the block or will go nuts.
But yeah, seems like there is often a constant craving for something.

I get these cravings too. I call them "getting antsy". It happens out of no where.

I get this all the time. Every time I talk to someone about it, I just come off as kind of manic. It does feel like I'm about to jump out of my skin. What I've found is that usually when this happens, some change in routine is called for. Just something novel that can keep me occupied.

I am really glad I am not the only one.

I tried to tell my sister. She told me that everyone gets cravings and when I explained farther she just said I was weird lol.

It only lasted for the night and I got some new music and that helped a bit but I never really found what I was craving. Just thinking about it is kind of annoying lol.
