Do you pace up and down?

[seanieireland]

Hey guys as above, i do this. thoughts guys?

[Schztuna]

Ooof, I used to do this hardcore when I’d go off on psychotic tangents.

I would have these “revelations” and be deep in thought and talking to myself.

…Wasn’t cute.

I’m not a pacer, but I’ve seen a lot of other patients try to wear out the unit’s carpeting. I felt so sorry for them. Unable to sit still, back and forth, back and forth, it looks so torturous. I’ve always wondered if it’s a form of akathisia.

I pace back and forth I. The kitchen, from fridge to cupboard, until I find the right comfort food

Kinda sideways, left to right.

[Abise]

I used to in the hospital, then one of my patient friend told not to walk too much lol

[Leaf]

I pace when I’m ruminating

[anon44466342]

Yes, a lot. My dr thinks it’s the Abilify contributing to my already stressed state.

[microware]

Yes I did pace a lot until my doctor prescribed me a stimulant. I still do a bit but know I can sit down for 30 minutes no problem.

[Ryanana]

There are treatments for it if its akathisia *sp

[DrZen]

I have two choices either I can face the floor take the medicine for akinesia

[lekkerhondje]

i either pace a lot or i move back and forth on my chair…

[Vuldarz]

I pace back 'n forth, like one or two minutes per day. It was way worse when I was on Abilify. I would do it for hours and talk out loud in my room.

all the time especially when smoking, thinking, and stressed. I’m stressed 24/7. I pace a lot!

[Tulane]

I pace my house constantly throughout the day

[Cragger]

I used to Pace a lot. I’m sure I wore a rut in my old houses hallway LOL

I’m not sure what changed, but I don’t do that anymore

[Anna1]

I pace too… and in fact, in my case, it’s not because of the meds… I am just so anxious in my head, paranoid too and this disables my body too…
I have a bit of hope, that once I am better in my mind, this will stop a bit…
