Restlessness after Depression: Is it Normal?

Does anyone here get really restless after being depressed for awhile? it's been about 2 weeks for me (give or take some) and today I feel so restless. I also have anxiety, so I'm not sure if that's part ofit?

Yes, although I have ADHD and anxiety. After too long I get jittery and wanna do something random

One way I've reacted to the feeling is obsessively cleaning and organizing for hours in the middle of the night

Yes. I used to relieve this feeling by binge drinking, going on benders, being reckless. After 7 years of coping by self medicating with alcohol. In 2020 I started self medicating by consuming dab form of cannabis daily every 30 minutes. This combined with the reality of the pandemic, unaddressed trauma, and lack of nutrition and different hygiene practices and MORE led to my first psychotic break. Now it is 2022, I have committed to myself in regards to chasing wellness over purpose. I still consume cannabis in different forms daily. I have a new found respect for myself, and respect for the gift of cannabis and not abusing it.

that's great! I'm really happy to hear that you've found a way to cope with all of that! Do you have any other coping mechanisms aside from cannabis? I don't have access to that due to my age and where I live, along with medications I take.
