What are your stims?

Gay 2/1/2021 01:02 am 2889

my stims are:

Singing/ humming

Leg bouncing (idk if that’s my anxiety or not)

Hitting my chest

Picking at my scalp

“Bebebebebebebebebbebe”

“Fhart”

Repeating whatever word I heard recently

Bopping like bop cat

*bop* *click* *bop* *click*

flappy hands

using fidget toys

chewing on things

typing on a laptop or computer

maladaptive daydreaming (this is kinda bad for me because i get my daydreams confused with reality at times)

Violently shaking when I’m upset or sad

Listening to the same song over and over

making the hand where u pu down ur index, middle, and ring finger and i shake it super violently

That’s all of mine! I wanna hear yours

@inxxiety: a stim is a noise/word or action that you can do when an overwhelming emotion comes to you to regulate the emotion
