I haven't been able to stem properly all day. I am going to explode.

Seriously, I am getting so antsy. It's difficult to get any work done. I'm like "Please leave the office room, family, for I need the swivel chair to STEM!!" but I am too embarrassed to say that....so I'll just rant here on WP :)

What did you do?

I would probably do something involving movement, even writing either with a keyboard or a pen and paper is sometimes enough to distract my mind and let it cool down some i sometimes use the space bar to indicate time between ideas or sentences

i do think standard grammar has it's place and there are many other things that I would put in the "movement" category

I've put myself in a place where I have almost constant interruptions, noises, barking, sirens sometimes every five minutes but certainly every 15.

for me the Major Category is INTERUPTION if everyone would just email first i should do that more

Hey
Walk out my house with my swagger
Hop in that with dough, I got places to go!
People to see, time is precious
I looked at my cotty, are ya outta control

Just like my mind where I’m going
No women, no shawties, no nothin but clothes
No stoppin now, my Pirellis on role
I like my jewelry, that’s always on whoa

I know the storm is comin
my pockets keep tellin me it’s gonna shower
Call up my homies it's all
Then pop in the next 'cause this mix'll be ours

We keep a fade away shot cuz we ballin
it’s platinum patron that be ours
Lil mama, I owe you just like the flowers
Girl you drink with all that goodie power

(Flo Rida)
You spin my head right round, right round
When you go down, when you go down down
(Ke$ha)
You spin my head right round, right round
When you go down, when you go down down

I do spin. And I need to spin in a chair, to my music.

For some weird reason, if I'm not home, I don't have any urge to spin. But if I am at home, I need to spin or I'll go nuts. So I expect this problem will solve itself when I go to college :)

Well would you say you spin for the "endorphins". As if you mean when not at home, due to walking etc releases endorphins or maybe less stressful environment?

How about twirling a pen or pencil in your fingers. I sometimes do that or with a utensil if I am at the table. Or you could bounce your knee up and down rapidly--or a foot. I do that a lot. I don't plan to stim, it just happens, and then I will sometimes notice that I am doing it. My stims are not that weird, so I don't get called on them often. Since they are harmless, and seem to help burn off stress, and hopefully calories, I don't make any real effort to stop them. No ones being hurt and it might be helping me, so let 'er rip. :lol:
