This is where you cannot sit.

I pace a lot and cannot sit for long. It is not the real Akathisia. I have seen clips of that ----usually drug induced and they cannot stop moving at all.

My anxiety is so bad that I cannot sit through a church service.

So it is not earnest Akathisia, but it is sure an inability to sit still for anything. Even at movies, I have to sit in back so I can stand. I even stand to eat.

Maybe this is all the lack of sleep making me crazy.
 
Well.

If it wasn't obviously not good... it could be a good thing. Exercise. Sitting is bad for posture anyways. You're doing your back and neck a great service, not sitting.

Sorry I can't be more help.
 
I have the same problem on Sunday mornings. I can sit thru class, sing in the choir, then am supposed to go back in and sit down for about 30-45 min. I just can't do it lately, so I split after we sing.

My son is very much like the description of not being able to sit still. He paces when he's on the phone, that's him, but he does sleep. He is going to be a new daddy, and his energy will be necessary.
