Stir crazy, or restlessness, refers to a feeling of agitation or unease that often arises from being confined in a limited space for an extended period. This sensation can lead to irritability, anxiety, and a strong desire to move or change one's environment. It is commonly experienced during long periods of isolation or inactivity. The term is often associated with situations like quarantine, lockdowns, or long journeys where individuals may feel trapped. Symptoms can include fidgeting, difficulty concentrating, and a sense of boredom. Addressing stir craziness typically involves finding ways to engage in physical activity or mental stimulation.
