roommate caught me pacing again

[debbie downer]

this has only happened one other time in the 3 years i've lived with roommates, which was in november. this was 5 minutes ago - i had absolutely no idea that my roommate was in the room and i began to pace. she started laughing so hard she was crying and said "why did you just do that??"

i was so shocked because i had no idea that she was even in the room. and when i'm pacing, i can't tell what it looks like. i describe it as pacing and to me i'm just pacing, but my mom has told me that it looks more like i'm running at full speed and stomping my feet loudly. i'm literally having a panic attack right now because i don't know exactly what my roommate saw and she also has friends over right now and i don't want her to tell them that she saw me pacing. i'm also hurt that she would laugh at me because i can't help that i do this. i love daydreaming and i don't think i would ever actually want to get rid of it, but situations like this make me wish there was something i could take to turn the daydreaming off for a few hours.
