Recently, maybe the last few months, I have been having trouble with feeling trapped in my own skin. I think the best way to describe it is a restlessness that moves throughout my body, usually starting from my legs or shoulders and moving from there.
I believe that the best way to explain it is that I have claustrophobia, going anywhere from tight spaces to having to remain in a single place for too long without being able to get up. It's like the start of a panic from claustrophobia, a restlessness that I usually take as a warning that I'm coming up on my limit and I need to get out of the area or at least move and walk around to remind my brain that I am not trapped.
I've tried getting up and moving when it appears, just like I do when I need to calm down my claustrophobia, but it's much more constant and it feels impossible to get rid of. It's especially frustrating when I'm laying in bed and I can't even sleep because it leaves me awake and struggling to stay in bed(I also have insomnia on top of all this, so I've been losing a lot of sleep lately).
Can anyone tell me what it's linked to? I don't really have anyone to ask or get advice from, so any at all would be really helpful.
