Do you pace around the house alot?

Post Reply New Topic

I pace up and down the hallway across from my room near my parents room. Usually when I listen to music- I can get too much into it .

I pace bot not a lot, mostly when I'm nervous or frustrated.

I usually do it when I'm daydreaming.

Pacing while daydreaming can be a sign of Maladaptive Daydreaming. This is a condition that causes excessive daydreaming. The daydreaming is often elaborate and detailed, like a book or movie. Some people with this problem will pace, rock, shake thing in their hands, or do other forms of repetitive behavior while daydreaming. Here is a website about it:

Yes I do. I try not to though because I live above someone. But I have been doing it even more lately again.

I pace up and down the corridor in my house and read at the same time. I find I can concentrate much better on the book while I'm pacing.

[quote="MindBlind"]Yup, I'll pace when I'm anxious, annoyed, impatient or excited about something. Sometimes when I listen to music, I'll pace around the house because the music is so moving.[/quote

Yes, that's me. around the couch...to the bedroom...back....to the bathroom...back and forth all around the house. If anyone were to look in the windows they'd probably think I was a lunatic.

Only when I am stressed. Which is a lot at the moment!

I do this almost every day, usually when I'm stressed, anxious, bored or impatient.

I remember I was unable to stay in place whenever my mother was having a conversation with someone. I had to move, or I'd get this pain in my legs and feet from standing for longer than 5 minutes.

Nowadays, I can go to the kitchen to get some snack or something to drink, or go the restroom. I have paced for no apparent reason as well, but it seems to calm one's nerves or get one's brain going.

Yup, I pace a lot. If I am doing something that doesn't require me to sit still, such as talking on the phone or brushing my teeth I'll probably end up pacing. I just finished a 1 hour discussion with a customer on the phone and most of that time I was pacing back and forth. I'm surprised I haven't worn a groove in the floor between my living room and bedroom.

Never mind, I need the exercise

Oh yeah.Every day,I have worn off the finish on my hardwood floor.

Yeah I pace all the time around the house esspecially when I am worried, hyper,excited, or happy. I sometimes pace when I am talking to someone on the phone too or to my sister in person she keepts telling my why are you pacing? lol

All the time. Not just around the house either, and not just when I'm doing something else. Some people pace when on the phone or eating, I do it just by itself. I've started trying to quit by taking up running (this is day 1), but I can't go a day without at least an hour of walking in circles (usually outside, but also in my living room) bad days are around 4 hours. Wish me luck on quitting.

I used to years ago. My anxiety was at an all-time high back then, and I feel strongly that it was a side effect from the medication I used to be on. No longer having to live in a home or with my parents has probably helped, too.

Now my concern is that I no longer get enough exercise from all that pacing and walking. But nothing is worse than the anxiety and restless leg syndrome I had back then.

Pacing is of my favorite stims

I do it a lot when I'm daydreaming or procrastinating. Less so when I actually have something I need to do. And not at all if there are people nearby.
