Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I keep tapping my fingers and feet and snapping my fingers too and I wanted to know if there was some sort of diagnosis for this as it distracts me a lot from almost anything that I'm doing and I can barely keep from doing it for more than a couple of minutes.
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. These are habits and they are called mannerisms. Inn simple terms every human being carry some mannerisms. It is also seen that during lifetime, people change mannerisms easily and continue with the new one. Let me assure you, you not loosing concentration due to the mannerism but you are loosing concentration and therefore are aware of the mannerism.
No body cares about their Mannerisms until thee mannerisms are not harmful to their profession and life. If this really gives you tough time with your job and life, then you should change it. The best method is to ask several friends to notify you whenever he notices your mannerism. Try this and come back.
