I rearrange everything all of the time. My t and I agree that I do this when I am internally out of control. This gives me external control (hence the itchy feeling that needs to be scratched). Once I get it all changed, I feel better. But as soon as I get upset internally again, I change my house again. Nothing is safe around here, closets, drawers, furniture, paintings, anything movable I move.
Mostly I do this when I am manic, btw.
