@k.k.unfiltered: Ever notice you start tapping your fingers or fidgeting when you’re anxious or overstimulated? That’s called stimming — a self-soothing behavior that’s super common in people with ADHD and anxiety disorders. It’s your brain’s way of releasing stress, improving focus, and regulating emotions when things feel overwhelming (hello grocery store aisle chaos 🫠). If you deal with ADHD anxiety, stress fidgeting, or can’t stop finger tapping when nervous, you’re not alone 💭 Follow me for more unfiltered ADHD and anxiety content. Disclaimer: Not medical advice.

This is called stimming. It’s a coping strategy. Keep on keeping on!

Blair :
The internal dialogue I have with myself when I’m stimming in public “stop moving like a crackhead you weirdo” or “be normal be normal be normal” then there’s the “why does it feel like EVERYONE is starring”. That stresses me more which makes me stim more. It’s really an adventure and losing battle🤣😅
