At this point I've mostly got the pacing specifically under control, but pacing was one of my OCD compulsions for years. I don't know why pacing in particular, although I've heard it's a common one. Essentially what differentiated it from just pacing as a habit was:
- I would feel extremely ill at ease if I didn't do it when my brain decided it was "time to pace"
- I'd do it for like 4 - 8 hours a day
- I'd end up with like massive bruises on my ankles, or like severe cramps in my calves, and just keep pacing anyway
- I had to walk in a specific room in a specific pattern, while holding a specific object
OCD is weird. I still have a lot of compulsions, but they're not quite as severe.
oh wow!
uh, I don't know if I have OCD honestly, I want to say I don't, but I pace almost every day, for like 2 or 3 hours depending, but when I pace I feel better, I get motivated and I got work done if there is any to do. (yard work or dishes etc) pacing as always been a good thing for me, if I'm feeling depressed my bf will ask me if I want to pace for a while. I pace in a line back and forth and I always always have to have my headphones on, and not some wireless ones or ear buds, it has to be wired over the ear head phones XD
