I only stim when excited, rather than anxious, when anxiety kicks in during a bad situation, my adrenergic system seems to go into overdrive, for far too long, can keep me out of action for a day or two if theres something truly awful happened/about to happen.

I stim all the time regardless of whether I am anxious or not. Though it does increase when I am anxious.
I tap to a beat, jiggle my legs as though I am doing a drum roll, tap on my head, sing to myself in silly voices, pinch myself, bite myself, make fart noises to myself even if noones home.
In the most calm of situations when i'm by myself, my legs are still going nuts with drum rolls. My wife constantly tells me my leg muscles are the best she's ever seen, haha.
