Restlessness or pure impatience?

Post by tara »

I am currently waiting on a decision for something and I always feel so restless when I am waiting for something it does do my head in.. Its not that I cant be patient I understand that and take it on board... I just feel really really restless in my head.. Its like uncomfortable/anxiety in a way and I just want to get it over and done with. Almost like pain but its not physical pain if you know what I mean...

Any one else? or is it me being impatient you think?

restlessness is often mistaken for impatience, but it is not the same thing.
the pure discomfort you describe is not the same as being impatient.
There are some things and some people that I am sure you have all the patience in the world with and for but this decision making thing you can't stand. I can understand it - it seems to be often related to anxiety and high stress-levels. The lack of control being the thing that you really can't stand...I think is a good thing to understand why you feel this way and then maybe to try to rationalize that to yourself. It may help...?
