Am recovering from surgery so can't train much at the moment
Having had a lot of that, recently... It doesn't work as fast as gross motor, but fine motor helps big time. :bag: Although I have a tendency to throw fine motor activities, even that gets cathartic. Although i recommend a small stack of balls (so when one is jut a leeeeeeetle too far away, you don't overreach for it), if you really wanna throw something. For stationary gross motor, though, the kind of calisthenics that you can do in one position, also help. Flexing one muscle group at a time, hold, release.

LOL. A while fingers = automatic fine motor? Don't forget making faces, weird mouth sounds, chewing gum, tying knots with your tongue, picking things up with your toes, and other weird human tricks. I tried to teach myself morese code by twitching my nostrils, but that whole things drove me half crazy. Blinking was much better. Also ASL.
 
That is exactly how I feel. My body and nervous system and brain is over aroused! What is hat ptsd or anxiety physical symptoms?? I can't seem to control it and if it's not tension headaches it's some other weird and wonderful feeling or symptom. It is so debilitating
 
Yes, I know that feeling well, and it's usually when my wallet takes a huge hit. I get so antsy that I usually end up going out(because sitting around makes it worse). So I end up shopping and spending way too much money! Then I'm pissed, cause I spent money that I really shouldn't have spent. So then I berate myself, then get depressed. OH! The lovely Merry-go-round of PTSD!!!!!
 
its the reason why sadly many traumatised people get addicted. I used to self sooth myself with cocaine and wine ...not recomended. I do tai chi and chigong and relaxing styles of yoga...not the yoga were your trying to stand on your head...just makes matters worse. ..work is the toughest one I am still trying to work out how to sooth myself around triggering people...right now I prefer to just run away and be somewere alone....the toilet is like my office now.
