Do you ever involuntarily tap, shake or rock from trying to prevent yourself from acting out during an episode?

I hope that question makes sense.

(Trigger)
Ex, I've kind of been feeling a little depressed lately. I tried talking to my husband about the way I'm feeling and he doesn't get it of course. It just causes an argument therefore starting the racing thoughts. As a result of the racing thoughts which are negative I feel these urges to break things, scream, run away, pull my hair out, or self harm. It's like my skin is crawling because I won't allow myself to act any of these things out. As a result I can't help but tap myself shake and rock back and forth. But it's like involuntary twitches. This is not the first time I've experienced this.

Also I would like to state that I am not in danger of hurting myself or anyone else. Thank you.
