Anxiety/hurried rushed feelings
My anxiety every day makes me feel like I’m always in a hurry doing things, like I’m rushing all the time, I can never just sit and relax as I always feel like I have to be up and doing something instead. I feel worn out at times, I’m bipolar too but that’s more under control now, Iv tried meditation for anxiety but I can’t seem to relax I’m always tensed up, and it’s driving me crazy!

You sound stressed and can not rest because you feel you have to do something in a hurry. These intense thoughts do bring anxiety. I understand that it is hard to force the mind to relax. Since mind and body are influenced by each other. Try to relax your body in the first place, and make your mind start to relax can a good start. Once you physically relax, it can also help to decrease anxiety. Here are 2things you can try.
1. Progressive Muscle Relaxation: Tense a group of muscles 4-10 seconds when you inhale. Then suddenly and completely relax them when you exhale. Take 10-20 seconds to relax between two practices.
2. Diaphragmatic Breathing: Breathing down toward the stomach instead of your chest.
Welcome to let me know how it works for you.
