What are your stims?

Gay 2/1/2021 01:02 am 2913

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

i have a bad habit of bouncing back and forth like a videogame character when I get too excited. I also spin rings, weave yarn through my hands, play with a worm on a string, flappy hands, say the word 'grape' as angrily as I can, chant 'pog', and tap everything in reach of my arms

I usually swing back and fourth, doing the jiggle leg thing, random blinking, making noises like “beep” and “boop” randomly, doing the mouth “pop” thing, and day dreaming a lot (I get in trouble for it cause I seem to do it more when I REALLY need to be doing a certain thing) I also tend to bite my tongue, lip, and inside my cheek when i get stressed or mad. My stims are cause of my adhd so ive had em most my life and they change from time to time lol

i day dream a looot, and zone out for like, 5 minutes without even realizing it. I also do this this thing where i fold my bottom lip. I also wring out my hands, snap, and pressing really hard on my upper teeth with my lower teeth (not really gritting my teeth tho). thats about it.
