I am still on the journey of self discovery and am wondering if one can stim with their mind? I have noticed a pattern of something in my thoughts which has cropped up before. Now I know more about myself im wondering if it's stimming, I feel like with this thought I am "thinking for thinking's sake". It's a thought I enjoy to take part in.
Can anyone help with comments or links?
Thank you .
Hi I get this too.... Sometimes it is for comfort but sometimes it feels like OCD (of the thought variety) and it can get really tiring. I have few activities I can do to stop this but sometimes I am too tiered to sequence the actions I need to do before I can engage with the activity.
So, what's the difference between OCD and repetitive thoughts (the 'O' ) or, stimming as a way to regulate mental state (the C')?
What do you do to distract yourself from the thoughts?
Yeap exactly.... I am not sure about the difference... I draw and run....
