I have a busy-hand problem, too. When I was a kid, I'd chew my fingernails constantly. When I talk with people, I gesture with my hands and notice people watching my hands which makes me feel self-conscious and I wonder if I'm "talking" too loudly with my hands. For years have also had a tendency to pick at my fingers, hang-nails, etc. but also just hunting for skin to pick at, which is gross and sometimes results in pain. I'll do it with my hands under the table when eating with others, and while watching tv. If I make myself stop, I'll fall asleep. Drives my hubby crazy and it's embarrassing always having bandaids on my fingers.

Thinking this is my own weird symptom of ADD...
