Is it normal that i make strange compulsive movements when alone?

omg i do that!!!

I do this same stuff. I get horrible memories from my past that creep into my thoughts and I do crazy movements to "shake" them away. Something about the physical action helps to take your mind off of the memory. I, too, am drawn to mirrors. When I was younger my sister-in-law pointed out that I was always checking myself out in mirrors and she said it was because I was conceited, but I don't think that's the case b/c I hate the way I look... so I don't know what it is. If there is a mirror, I MUST look in it.

I'm sorry to hear that honey.. :/ The only thing I can really tell you is that you could talk to a counsler about it. Just because bad stuff happened to you, it does not make you bad. I know how hard that is to believe. Nothing is easy to believe in, except yourself. You can do it. (:
Don't stop searching, it's not over. Don't stop looking, you're one step closer. (:

I have this to a lesser extent. Visions of stuff I had purposely forgotten but all I do is shake my head and move onto what ever I'm doing.

I do it too. I shout in a quite strange voice "Shut up you stupid bitch", even though I haven't said anything, or yank my hair and growl to take the bad thoughts away. I reckon it's normal to do it occasionally. I'm not that troubles, pretty normal actually. No-one ever hears me.

I used to do that.

I have this too, though not the mirror thing...its probably OCD, Ive been looking into it and it may be a subtype known as OCDP or "pure O" meaning that you are hardwired like a person who washes excessively but you lack the compusions

...it is, and it's not. in the grander scheme of things, it's not, but you say you had a troubled past. can I assume, therefore, that something traumatic happened in your past? because, what you're describing sounds like a trigger affect, of sorts (not the mirror thing, but the freaking out when alone thing). in this instance, it's fairly normal for those with some form PTSD to be triggered into and episode, of sorts, when faced with a situation (smell, sound, etc.) similar to their traumatic event.

This is not normal, but you can sort it out. Got a computer? Play some video games on it. If you really want to not think of these worst times, download an MMORPG. Here's a suggestion of MMORPG you could play to take your mind off of things, nice and smooth, and easy.
http://fiesta.outspark.com/ Anime fantasy MMORPG. You can talk to people easily in Elderine or Uruga (The main towns) to speak with everyone in one of these cities, do the following: (Press your Enter key, then type in /s, put a space after it and type your message. You could discuss your problems with the people playing.

take it easy.

Everything you did was EXACTLY same as what i did. Yes, i have terrible acne too, i lonely too. so, it's normal

Haha that's such a dumb story soulman

you're not the only person. But mine is even worse... I get hurt in a dream I get in real life.. For example, I was dreaming about having sex with my older bro then the next morning We both woke up naked and covered in cum in the same bed.... and his room is on the other side of the house.... I'm watching t.v then my sister snd her friends come inside and show me "awesome" stuff and at the end the bed (well the futon) was standing on my dick then they show me something I really loved and set something heavy on the futon.... then I went to the hospital..... Bleeding dick and nosebleeds... that was the best day of my life...
