i also find myself tapping alot... pacing and using my hand tapping my legg, what does that mean?

thanks
forgot to add....as for the tapping, pacing only you can say what that means to you but its not a dissociation problem, dissociation is a feeling/reaction not an action. feeling numb, feeling spaced out, feeling like you are just watching/not participating,....

the tapping and pacing here in NY is called anxiety/panic, and other mental disorders like OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) ADHD (attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) and many other physical and mental disorders.

to find out what this is in your location and with in you, you will need to contact a medical doctor or a mental health treatment provider that is in your off internet location.
