Odd behaviours - stimming?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone

I have had a couple of " bad habits " for the best part of my life,

that I cannot stop, or else I don't feel " normal " .

Since I was 4, I have been bouncing on my bed. I lie down on my

back, then hurl myself up on my knees towards the base of the bed,

bounce several times, then throw myself back onto the bed on my

back, with feet swinging over my head. Then the cycle repeats

itself, many times, and very vigorously.

I have destroyed at least 10 beds since then (I am 28), and my

family consider me very childish and immature for doing it every

day. I spend many hours listening to music, daydreaming and working

myself up into an ecstatic state bouncing on my bed, and can't seem

to break this " habit " (more like compulsion).

Also, starting from age 4, I would gallop down the hallway and throw

myself at the door on each end, getting more and more ecstatic. I've

been having some success stopping this habit, but it's coming out on

the bed a lot more.

Do you think this could be evidence of " stimming " , possibly

indicating some type of autism? I am female and not been diagnosed

with anything autistic spectrum (not even ADD).

Or am I just screwed up generally?

Thanks in advance
