This sounds a little like mania, but the level of anxiety accompanying your mania either means it's not full-blown mania, where you completely lose any sense of what you "ought not" to do), but hypomania. or you're a pretty textbook bipolar II and, having gone untreated, it's seriously affecting your life (which often happens to those with bipolar II). it really depends on whether this mania lasts at least a couple weeks at a time and is followed by similarly long episodes of depression where you can barely move (this is what i get).
you might at least talk to a doctor. i've also heard people with excess adrenal gland production having similar issues to yours. or super fast metabolisms.
With the proviso that I am always extremely cautious when it comes to making diagnoses or arbitrary recommendations via an internet forum based on minimal evidence [we've had posters here in the past cluelessly rushing forth (suggesting an anti-social neurosis on
their part) 'recommending' the most violent and extreme courses of action, everything from 'sectioning' to electro-convulsive-therapy on the basis of the most minimal and deeply suspicious accounts of someone's behaviour) with suggestions as if they had such vast authoritative knowledge both of the ailment and of the 'patient' when in fact all they are doing is revealing their own innate, socially-hostile intolerances for what they don't understand [and don't want to understand], coming across as having the same secretly-vicious retro-sensibility as a
News of the World hack. [And to be honest, I'd be much more worried about posters like Vim or Mixed-biscuits, whose warped ideologies have seriously destructive social effects on the wider society].
Gek's 'ailment' sounds perfectly harmless and probably has fairly reasonable psychic, social and physical explanations, nothing to get over-anxious about, or resort to self-reflexively instant 'symptom-diagnoses mapping' from the latest edition of the DSM manual. The level of radical mis-diagnosis [and dismissive non-diagnosis - M.E. for instance] of assorted posited illnesses and behavioural idiosyncracies is so unbelievably vast in a society so crippled by vested financial-social-political interests that it becomes so easy - effortless even - to become part of the problem oneself [And related to the inheritance tax thread, I'm sickened by the number of people I come across who actively transform and medicalise their elderly parent(s) into
non-compus-mentus incompetents ("She's getting a bit forgetful, obviously it's Altzheimers, maybe it's best if we put her in a home") just after the Will has been finalised, shunting them off into a nursing home in full knowledge that it will kill them within a few months (who hasn't an elderly relative to whom this hasn't happened?), dying of chronic social dislocation, abandonment, isolation and loneliness, so that they can quickly and greedily get their hands on their parent's house and assets. This practice is so widespread as to be almost invisible. Who is the genuinely sick, psychologically damaged party here? And what underlying socio-economic structures are directly implicated?]
[BTW, Akathisia is not a 'natural' condition, it is a term attributed purely to certain auto-manic side-effects of particular psychotropic drugs, though it may indeed exhibit symptoms indistinguishable from other conditions].
That said, if I were living in Britain, and it were a psycho-socially civilized society, I would not hesitate to have the Vims of that world summarily 'sectioned' ...
