Physical behavors
So after a long hiatus, I'm back in business! Here are some physical behaviors that come with some of the disorders we've talked about:
OCD:
Frequently washing hands, showering, or brushing teeth or the overuse of items to hide body smells
Constantly cleaning, straightening, and ordering certain objects
Repeatedly checking zippers and buttons on clothing
Checking lights, appliances, or doors again and again to be sure they are turned off or closed
Repeating certain physical activities, such as sitting down and getting up from a chair
Hoarding objects, such as newspapers
Asking the same question or saying the same thing over and over
Avoiding public places or taking extreme measures to prevent harm to yourself or others
Religious rituals, such as constant silent praying
Anxiety:
Trembling, twitching, or shaking.
Feeling of fullness in the throat or chest.
Breathlessness or rapid heartbeat.
Lightheadedness or dizziness.
Sweating or cold, clammy hands.
Excessive startle reflex.
Muscle tension, aches, or soreness (myalgias).
Fatigue.
Sleep problems, such as the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, early waking, or restless, unsatisfying sleep.
