ch 5 repetitive behaviors: i don't particularly relate to any of this. i did pace and fidget and sometimes self harm out of skin-crawling anxiety in my 20s, but in retrospect it correlates with the years i was taking prescribed stimulants and went away when i stopped the prescription and feeling the awful skin crawling anxiety side effect.
