Nervous energy or something else?

Hi, last year I really struggled with anxiety - which is much better now but I often feel an underlying feeling of what feels like nerves. I've just started a new job after 10 years being self employed which I'm really enjoying, but it's only 3 days a week. I feel like I want to be there more, and feel quite restless/nervous on my days off - I wonder if my brain is telling me it's time to move on with my life and I feel a little trapped at home? Has anyone felt like this? x

Too tired to explain this properly, sorry

But yes! Anxiety and excitement are similar in physiological terms. So that can be confusing. If you google that you'll find loads of articles explaining it.

It sounds like good news and you probably do want to move on and do more, which is fantastic.
