So, I have these things where at night I get all weird... I typically get muscle spasms, body twitching... nighttime is when I'm depressed the most btw.

Anyways, I was on the floor, in a ball, rocking slowly. It was comforting to me. It was hitting my back against something, so I moved to my bed. I started rocking slowly, then sat criss-cross and was rocking in a circular motion. As I rocked in front of me I started to run my face across my blanket. I continued to do this every time. Every time letting my head and face drag against the blanket more and more. (Made my face and head itch like crazy) But, it was very calming to me. Like, when a cat rubs its head and face against objects and people. I continued to do this for 15 mins I think. It was hurting the rest of my body, and i had to go to the bathroom. I saw my face was pink and my skin was sensitive to the touch. I then started rubbing my face on things until I found the softest which happened to be my arm. Did this for a little while to. I swear it was like a cat rubbing their face against pleasing objects... weird right?

I've been thinking that I might be schizophrenic... would this be related to it? Just curious lol

I'm not totally sure. You should see a doctor to make sure everything's OK.

I've talked to my family about seeing someone, but I don't think they believe that it's a big deal. They never mentioned it to me again. I guess, I will have to wait and if I get worse I'm sure I'll eventually see a doctor... until then I just hang in there :S

I can't see how this has any relation to schizophrenia?

If you have extreme depression it can do strange things to people. I used to rock too, when I was at my worst. When you're really that upset anything that'll comfort you is worth it, that's what I found anyway. Just because rocking and so on is seen in the media as a characteristic of being "insane", doesn't mean it actually is. It's a comfort.

I don't think there's anything wrong with you, per say, only depression. What you did was a coping method, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
