I never knew that what I did/do was/is stimming.
As a kid and teen I would twirl my long hair into knots and then try to get them unknotted. When I couldn't I'd pull my hair strands out. I used to bit the skin on the inside of my mouth. I rarely do this now, unless i accidentally bite the inside of my mouth and get "stimming" on it. It never hurt much when I was a kid, but as I began to reclaim my body I stopped doing it as much.
Thanks a bunch.
