I don't know if it's normal or not, but I've got kind of similar things. I can watch the same dvd over and over and over and over again. Same with music. Long after every nuance has been utterly memorized... Just today at my psych's, was lining up the magazines, flipping a pillow to fluff, picking up a tiny piece of mirror from the floor, even straightening a picture on the wall. Kind of like a mental pacing I guess...(these things -and others as well- don't seem much mood related for me, but I have to ask --)

You've been on the upside for awhile now... Do you think it is connected at all?
