For many years my fingers, toes, and knees are contracting. It never stops, even when I am trying to go to sleep. I cannot imagine that it continues in my sleep, but at all other times it is there. I try to stop conciously, but I am so very uncomfortable at complete stillness, that within seconds, I go right back to it.
There is always a beat to it. I think I would make a very good drummer because of the very specific beat I am always making with my fingers, toes, and knees.
I suffer from a number of disorders... panic, anxiety, PTSD (in a very big way), depression, and agoraphobia. I suppose these all tie together but I have never been able to 'label' the body contractions.
Does it sound like OCD to y'all?
I count all the time, every little thing, and I know that is OCD.
