I’ve had houseguests staying with me for the last three weeks, and they won’t be departing for another three or four weeks. So far, I’ve only been able to stim once while my guests were off at the beach (my stim is rocking), because I’m just not comfortable doing it when other people are in the house (other than their beach visit, they’ve always been here when I am). Giving it up has been difficult. It feels like I have a buildup of energy lodged in my body and an “itch” in my psyche.
Have any of you guys had to stop stimming for long periods of time? How did it make you feel? To me it feels like going on a diet. I can deal with the deprivation and starvation (so to speak) for a while, but I would never, ever be able to give up stimming long-term.
