yitchy
A sudden and intense feeling of dissatisfaction with, or incompletion of one's immediate state.
OR the feeling that one's needs are lacking, but what exactly needs to be fixed cannot be defined in the moment. Typically occurs after being inactive, or feeling unfulfilled for long periods of time. This is a very personal feeling and can be difficult to describe to others.
When someone/something is feeling yitchy, they can appear anxious, indecisive, or excited. Someone who is feeling yitchy may rattle off things they want to do but have no real intention, timeline, or plan of doing. Yitchiness is often self-inflicted, and can be curbed by accomplishing a goal, doing something exciting and engaging, doing something spontaneous, or becoming fulfilled in general.
If a yitchy person is interrupted while doing their fulfilling task, they can quickly become irritable. Unless they ask for help or for you to do something with them, it is best to leave them alone.

When Julie came home from a slow day at work, she was desperate for something fun to do. She had plenty of house chores that needed to be taken care of, but felt very unfulfilled and struggled to decide what to do. She went back and forth for half an hour before deciding to call her besties to see if they were available that night to go dancing.
Arthur has drawn up a detailed plan to build his kids a tree house, and has been feeling yitchy all week. Come Saturday morning, he has free time and heads to the hardware store to get what he needs- he spends all day building the tree house, and feels incredibly satisfied that he completed it, and it turned out exactly as anticipated.
My cat has been wigging out all day- he's already eaten his food, took a nap, but doesn't seen to care about his toys. He must be feeling yitchy about something- I don't know what else he could want!
