I guess it was kind of a stim I had a long time ago. I was constantly looking at my watch - have no idea why, other than it just being a stim. It was years ago when I was working at a dry cleaners. My boss told me if I looked at my watch one more time I would be fired and went into a lecture about just waiting for time to go home. Then he asked me what time it was. I said "I have no idea", that's not why I was looking at my watch and I didn't know why I looked at my watch, but it was never to see the time. And I enjoyed the job and was not just waiting for time to go home. (Thinking about it now, I probably looked at it because it's something on my wrist that didn't belong there.) When I quit wearing a wristwatch I was fine). Later, as a nurse, you were supposed to wear a watch because you'd use it to count a pulse or breathing and I found myself doing the same thing. And if I was trying to use it to count a pulse, I actually couldn't watch the second hand on my watch because looking at my watch was not to look at the time or anything - can't really explain it. I just would know how many seconds would pass as I'm counting the pulse. Eventually I quit wearing the watch then, too, because it was useless, except looking at that thing that shouldn't be on my wrist.
