What can I do about really bad nerves??

Question

I have really bad nerves and I constantly shake my legs or tap my fingers. I can never sit completely still for more than a couple seconds. I even shake a little bit. My mother tried to help me stop as I was growing up, but nothing she tried worked and I still do it. It is getting really annoying. What is the cause of bad nerves and how can I do away with my nervous habits?

Answer 1

I would see a Dr. and find out if it really is nerves doing that.

Answer 2

Find something that requires a lot of concentration and practice small steps. So try to sit still for a minute. Practice that a few times a day. Then increase that to 2 minutes, 5, and so on.

If you don't have that kind of discipline, take like a yoga or martial arts class where someone will be monitoring you.

Answer 3

I'm not some brilliant doctor but there's a couple of reasons u might have a lot of nervous energy. Trust me I sympathize, in class I'm always doodling or clicking my pen or daydreaming. But the reason I had my nervous habit was because I was bored. Maybe you have ADD or soemthing realted to it. My best advice for you is talking to a doctor, or maybe a psychologist, and u can take tests to find out what is wrong with you.
