I’ve always rocked. I do it especially when I’m upset or don’t feel good. I’ve been doing it a lot lately. Do you rock?

I can’t sit still and pace it doesn’t sound like much but it’s terrible for loved ones to watch.

I really like the autumn change to your avatar. Did you do that last year?

I actually rock too. It helps soothe. I think it’s a healthy nondestructive way to help people feel less anxious.

I used to rock because I found it soothing, but people kept telling me to stop it because it made me look ill, so I learned to find an outlet for that energy by tapping my fingers

I started rocking back and forth in September or October of 2015 when I was first diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and was put on Zyprexa. I stopped Zyprexa last year but I still rock sometimes if I don’t feel like sitting still.

If anxious I kind of play with the lobe of my ear, tap … tend to shake my leg (restless leg syndrome type thing)… if sitting for a long time… fidget my fingers… I used to rock but only when trying to calm myself.
