Hello! I'm new to the OCD forum, today at my appointment it was suggested to me that I may have OCD. I have several of the symptoms but one that is bothering me right now is the pacing. I do it for several hours around the same time each day. Does any one else do this?

I don't pace but I do rock a lot. Not sure why I do it and I never connected it with maybe having OCD but ....maybe I have something to think about. I hope that others here can help you with it.

I spend 95% of my time pacing. The only time I actually sit down is when I get tired or using the internet. Even then I turn on music periodically and pace. It helps me think.

I pace quite a bit-have always chalked it up to my anxiety but it could be my OCD-one seems to fuel the other in that whole endless cycle kind of way-maybe you could journal about it for a bit to see if there is a pattern & maybe identify the triggers.

 a lot of people pace, try not to medicalise it, although if you have v high anxiety levels its certainly something to worry about.
