Stimming

What are some of your favorite ways to stim when you are in a happy space? What are some ways you stim when experiencing frustration and/or uncomfortable in the body?  Do you stim in public?

For me I am noticing while watching tv or even eating delicious food I will hum a lot or shake my hands a lot or flap my fingers when I listening to music.  When I am frustrated or uncomfortable I rub my legs, pull my hair a bit. or give myself a hug with pressure points. 

I am curious to know your experiences!

  • I completely understand! There's a lot to take in when this all starts coming to light in adult hood. We find our own way to identify and relate with things. Whatever we feel comfortable with. I wish you the best of luck. It's quiet here at the moment but there can be useful moments of insight and experience,  especially if you search through the archives!
