Think the OP needs to check the tank temperatures when the basking globe is on. VERY LIKELY this behaviour is her trying to escape temperatures in the tank that are too high.
Turn off / unplug the BASKING GLOBE and see if she's happier in her tank with just the UV tube , she will still need a hide so she can escape the UV when she's had enough.
12hrs under a T5 10% UVB tube is NOT adequate for a bearded dragon.
