Has this happened to you???
I have energy! Maybe too much energy. Its starting to get on my nerves. I can't be still ~ I'm always moving. Of course this is much better than just sitting there not moving at all, But I can't seem to keep focused. I have actually had people ask me if I was on something! I'm not, it's all natural, but it seems when I get like this I talk nonstop-not really focusing on what I'm saying and I'm about bouncing off the wall's. I try to walk it off but that doesn't always work. I have gone from sleeping 14 to 16 hours a day to sleeping for 5 hours a night. Any suggestions? How did you channel your new found energy? Please help.
God bless you all,
Annette
Annette,
The energy level does level out but exercise is the best way to burn that energy... or redecorate your house... after my surgery I redecorate 5 rooms in my house before I went back to work...lol
I still have more energy then most people and look out on the days I take my b-12 shot my children try not to be in the house or even answer their cell phones because they know I'm going to clean the house I mean deep clean.
You will find ways to burn the energy so you can sleep I still only sleep about 5 hours a night and I'm just over a year out.
Good Luck,
Renee
My energy level never leveled off. That is where my exercise obsession comes in. It would calm me down a little so I could sleep at the end of the day. I have become extremely high strung over the last couple of years. I do not think it is abnormal, but it may be abnormal for someone who once had no energy. I think I just have normal person energy now. I would embrace it and use it to your advantage.

Hi Teri, How are you? The exercise settles me down for about 10 to 15 min., then it comes back just as strong. I would embrace it, but it seem's to effect my head. I talk so much and often during the bursts of energy I don't stop to think about what I'm saying~I don't like that. It's kind of like my brain is moving at hyperspeed and I can't catch up to it. Thank you for the insight.
Take care,
Annette
Hmm...sounds like me now. I hit the treadmill, the elliptical trainer, anything that I can move on. And, to make it more fun, I put on my MP3 player with my favorite tunes and just goooooooooooooooooooo......
I have a sit down job, I am in class 3 days a week and that is enough sitting for me. I also find that if I take off to the grocery store (the big one) with a limited # of $$ bills, (so I won't spend) I push a cart around and just walk around. It's fun and NO ONE KNOWS what you are doing!!!!!
Channel that energy into cleaning out your closets too! I did mine and there is SO MUCH ROOM WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE A FEW OUTFITS!!!
You'll be fine, just follow this big advice: TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!
All my best!!
