So true about the rocking. As a child I was teased because I use to bump in a chair or couch. And I did feel comforted . I have my special recliner chair like you with the one foot on the floor. And when I go to visit I am relieved if there is a rocker in the room. I go for it admittedly. Thanks for talking about this rocking business. It explained a lot to me.

I've frequently been asked why my "motor is running" when I'm sitting down -- because I'm hardly ever still. As far as I can recall, I've been that way my whole life, even as a child. And I'm not sure what to make of that.

It doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve experienced trauma or have anxiety, but if you have or do, it’s understandable why you would move a lot.
