Does anyone else do this? It's come to a point where i actually feel bad about it, which is funny in itself because it's such a stupid thing and I can't tell why i do it, but I can't stop.
I have these moments where i go to my bathroom, lie on the floor, turn any heat-inducing device on (a hair drier or a heater) even on summer where it actually creates discomfort rather than warming up the room, and lie there, for up to an hour, and often multiple times a day. Sometimes I replace heaters and stuff with white noise from my phone, or by turning on the faucet.
It's come to the point where i have to come up with ways to not do it, like not entering the bathroom at all, or making it inconvenient to reach for the aforementioned devices, because i feel drawn to do it, like i have to. It's like I'm addicted to it, it's actually ridiculous.
It's the sound of the devices, maybe? Or the fact that the bathroom is a relatively neutral place and no one is supposed to enter while you're in there? Or the fact that I kinda feel like I'm able to calm down my hyperthinking and make my head shut up? It has actually become really annoying, because I waste an insane amount of time and always feel bad about it.
Edit: oh, yeah, and i should also mention when I start I feel like I'm almost physically unable to get up and do something else.
Well. Pretty embarrassing to share, but i wonder if anyone else does this or something vaguely similar, and if it's related. Thanks for reading, sorry if it was irrelevant. At least it's somewhat funny.
