Hello sanahasacat, Selfdiagnosing is never a good idea, but I wish you good luck finding the right psychiatrist who can give you an answer. I know out of own experience how important that is. :) Not a true statement. I agree with it wholeheartedly. There are many disorders and issues that can look ...

I also move my fingers as if I am rolling things between them while I talk in a social setting...
