Pace the floor? I do and it’s helping surprisingly. Then again…

I’ll sometimes pace @roxanna
I’ll walk around and around the house especially when I’m feeling agitated mood wise like when I’m feeling mixed.

I pace around all the time. Even if I’m just waiting at the bus stop I’ll walk in little circles

When I was experiencing akathisia I was pacing all over the house, up and down the stairs, but barely got any relief, it was brutal.

I pace when I’m having a Bipolar mixed state. The agitation has to go into something that isn’t harmful. Pacing is a great way to get rid of excess emotional energy. It doesn’t hurt anyone.

This is going to sound funny, but I’ve started jogging around the house.

I do my exercises every day, and go for a nice walk, but I’ve been doing five laps of the house jogging. It’s been years since I ran, but I can handle a little bit at a time. I will build it up over time

I get told to quit shaking so I just pace. I finally got my benztropine today.

I know I did a lot of walking in the Ward.

I used to do that constantly. They gave me invega by shot once and it made me pace so bad, some of the patients started threatening me if I didn’t sit still, but honest to god I could not stop. It was like having a horrible itch and walking is the only way to scratch it.

These days we’ve reduced my AP dose so that I can sit still. I still rock back and forth when I stand up sometimes, and I still pace while I smoke cigarettes.

I pace when I drink something like tea. I just walk while drinking tea.
