Me and my best friend both have tic disorders and the whole day we are constantly ticcing. We're making a presentation about tic disorders and tourettes to present to our form and we are both in the process of being checked out for tourettes sydrome and other disorders and this is really helpful thank you 💕
I have a friend with FND and I have Tourette’s. We set each other off like crazy but we only see each other once a week for like an hour. Still, it’s long enough to form good memories together.
I’m 15 and started having tics nearly a year ago, and through the past few weeks I’ve started having more vocal tics alongside motor ones and it’s scary, it’s so helpful that you’ve made this video so thank you
i really appreciate this, i started experiencing tics a couple years ago and have been very embarrassed. i get crude jokes a lot and have been told i forced myself to have them. i’m still trying to learn more and i’m scared of being told i’m faking it. sometimes i convince myself i am faking it. i appreciate knowing there’s a community who understand this and explain the exact feelings that i feel. thank you for this video
I’ve had tics since I was around 7 or 8 but because they’re not particularly noticeable to others unless I have a tic attack. However, for the past year or so I’ve had a very painful and scary tic that’s been affecting my life. I know I have to tackle this issue head on :) Thank you so much for this, I feel so much less alone :)
This is PERFECT. I recently commented on one of your live streams saying I finally had a neurology appt for my tics. It was yesterday and, well... I was diagnosed with Tourrettes. And I don't know how I'm feeling about it. I'm having a hard time processing these emotions. I mean, I KNEW I had a something, but to finally put a name.. it's good and bad. Like it's not my fault, and it's real... but it's forever. Hope that makes sense. I'm so glad I have your page here for me, you've helped me so much 💜
I'm 13, and I'm so appreciative of you and your videos. You are very inspiring, and help me a lot with my confidence in my tics. Life had been very difficult since I first started ticcing ( which was 9 months ago). I keep trying to talk to my parents about it, but they always just push the conversation aside and tell me what they know about TS even though I've done more research and know that some of what they say is wrong. They keep telling me that I'm doing it for attention and asking if I would rather be normal."Why,yes, MOTHER, I'd love to be normal." I just wish it wasn't so hard to talk about it because every time I do, I cry. It's a very emotional conversation to discuss, and I wish they could just believe/accept me for the way I am. At least I have besties at school that believe/accept me.❤ Again, I love you and your videos, and you are a very inspiring person. ❤❤❤❤😊
I always love to sing. Did it so much that I got myself into a private choir singing as a 1st countertenor. Singing always helps with my tics. And even when I have tics from stress increase.
I just wanted to say that you are truly an inspiration to me I have recently found out that I have a tic disorder and it has been hard for me to deal with and you have shown me that it's okay and that I'm not alone with having a tic disorder thank you for spreading awareness about this disability you are an idol to me!!♥
I'm 22 and my tics got alot more severe recently and I am dealing with adjusting to it. It's been very hard and I'm not sure how to handle these more "aggressive" tics. Before it was just minor motor tics and a few sounds very infrequently and now it's like I'm loudly and harshly ticcing every other minute when it's a bad day.
i only started having tics 2 months ago so this is a godsend. i discovered your channel before i started having tics myself and it was really helpful to have tics somewhat normalized before i got them myself. one of my closest friends also has tics and being able to relate to each other has helped me a lot. thank you for really driving home that tics shouldn’t be hidden. i am definetly guilty of that. i don’t have a lot of them and they’re fairly simple but they are all facial tics (and a vocal tic that is essentially a clicking noise) so hiding them for however long they might stay would be a hassle. this has really encouraged me to talk about them when i get asked about it because i haven’t told many people yet because i don’t like explaining myself. thank you so much for putting out this video at such a relevant point in my life, this has helped a lot
Hi just found your channel I'm a husband and a father of 3 children from uk and been diagnosed with tourettes and swear with my tics and I get so anxious everywhere I go. It's so hard to get decent help these days and I struggle so much to accept that I have tourettes and try to hide them and hold them but found this bad and they get so much worse. X
I'm young and started getting tics suddenly about a month ago and they're very frequent now, I did these but still wanted guidance... My mom has reacted kinda negatively snd encourages me to suppress my tics but it's very uncomfortable and stresses me out, glad to know I shouldn't.
I may not have this or Tourette’s but I do have epilepsy so I get how scary it is to be diagnosed with something that you can’t control and honestly it is scary so I know. ❤😅😊 Hugs. I hope you have a great day.
I've had tics as long as i can remember and was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome my sophmore year (3ish years ago) I'm a senior this year and am about to go into college I'm on meds but my tics keeps getting worse and my neurologist doesnt want to change my medication and I am really considering a service dog once i turn 18 but im not sure if thats the best option or even a option at all but i am terrified for being on my own
I’ve been suppressing for 30 years. I thought everyone was spending 80% of their energy and focus on remaining still. I thought that’s what people do. What a terrible mistake. Life like that is not worth living.
Hey, I’m 25 years old and have never been diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome, but I’ve been having what I can only assume are tics for the last 2 months. (I’ve never had any tics growing up) It started with my head jerking to the left when I got anxious or tired, but now it will also jerk forward or backwards as well.
Today I just decided hey I can’t control this I don’t want to suppress it anymore, so at the store I felt so much better just letting all the tics out, and there weren’t many people around so I had plenty of space to tic and it felt so much better
Im 13, and ive had really small tics my whole life, i didnt even know it was tics. But almost a year ago, they got worse. My parents and my psychologist knows, and were trying to fint diagnosis. Its really scarry for me. And sometimes I actually feel like its fake, for some reason. Why is that and how do i get rid of that? And i really often try to supress as many tics as possible around my oarents even though thay know, because im afraif that they will think that im a disappoinment, and that im fake. If hou have any tips, ill listen. And thank you si much fir the video:)
ive had tics alongside my younger brother since for about 16-ish years now i guess?? i brought up the idea of tourettes to my mom and she was almost angry at me for suggesting it. so we never got to go get any kind of diagnosis for tourettes or any other tic disorder it could have been. lately thought my tics have been getting more painful and frequent again and its really hard, i really wanna get a diagnosis to figure out what it is and if i can get any official resources for helping me better.. its painful and draining and tires me the heck out.
I know someone on my college campus that I talk to. I wouldn’t say he and I are friends but we are still friendly with each other. Let’s call him “Bill”. So “Bill” does have tics but I’m not sure if it’s Tourette’s like I have, but his tics are rare to see them in public. He has made me feel uncomfortable about my Tourette’s and tics by asking me about them and asking me to do my tics but it’s not voluntary. It’s not like I can tic on command. My supportive friends and boyfriend had to even kick “Bill” out of the room because he made me cry.
I have a really weird tic where I strike a weird move and say “PoTiOn” from that one trend “what’s that in my cup that’s a potion” on TikTok. People are confused. (Been going for about 11 months or more) idk if it’s Tourette’s or not.
So im 23, Ive had tics since I was 3. One of my brothers has them as well. I guess Im just not sure what I have or whats causing them? Ive done quite a bit of research on it and I dont think I fit the symptoms for tourettes. (My tics only affect my hands, arms, neck and face.I dont experience vocal tics at all.) Ive been told autism can cause tics, as well as adhd and ocd. I have a few symptoms of all of those so idk whats going on. The main thing about my tics that seems to be different is I wouldnt describe them like a sneeze. They're more like an itch that I NEED to scratch. I often have feelings like "just a few more times then I can relax." Of course it never actually stops and I cant relax. It just sucks because Im not financially able to seek a diagnosis and I dont want to self diagnose. So when people ask me in public I just say that I have twitches. People treat me like Im on drugs and it's upsetting. I just wish I knew what was causing them.
I was recently diagnosed with Tourette’s but then I watch this video “do not assume you have Tourette’s” my brain is like: *bruh don’t assume, you don’t have Tourette’s you liar*
hi ticking together! I just wanted to no, is there any way to actually tell wether something is a tic? I think I have them but I don't want to classify them as tics unless I'm sure
I was wondering, I saw someone that looked almost identical to you at universal just a couple minutes ago. Are you at universal right now or was it just someone that looked like you? Also I just wanted to say that I am such a big fan of you. I don't have tourettes but I have some tics (not self diagnosed, diagnosed by a doctor for anyone about to comment about it). I've been made fun of my whole life for my tics, and it hurts. And lately I've been experiencing something weird, and I'd like some advice on what you think of it, sometimes when someone says certain things, my brain will immediately race to a phrase and more often then not I'll say it out loud. For example sometimes if someone mentions dogs (this has happened more than once just so you know) I'll say "What the dog doing?" And I feel like I almost can't stop it. Does this sound like a tic or not?
When I have ticks I usually have the ole' lady remove them from the hard-to-reach and hard-to-see areas. After, I usually treat them with calamine lotion or Benadryl anti-itch topical antihistamine. If we find any ticks with certain markings on their back I may follow up with a doctor and get checked for Lyme disease or some other pesky diseases that ticks in our area can carry. I didn't know you guys had ticks up in Canada... Hmmm 🤔

You should look into ocd or adhd or tic disorders you might find something

I often have a lot of tics when I come to rest in the evening. Do you know that too?
i can’t speak for Carly but i find that i suppress a lot during the day so when i get home in the evening i have a lot of tics. hope this helps!
I do 100% bc of suppressing the majority of the day!
My tic makes me shun my neck back back really hard
I have a really weird tic where I strike a weird move and say “PoTiOn” from that one trend “what’s that in my cup that’s a potion” on TikTok. People are confused.

hi ticking together! I just wanted to no, is there any way to actually tell wether something is a tic? I think I have them but I don't want to classify them as tics unless I'm sure
I just went to follow your discord, and I also have Tourettes.
Thank you!!
Does everybody have the urge before a tic?
No sometimes they just happen
I was wondering, I saw someone that looked almost identical to you at universal just a couple minutes ago. Are you at universal right now or was it just someone that looked like you?

And it sounds like it could be a tic or a stim!!
Torrette's has ruined my life I'm just so done
How can I found this discord server?
The link is in this video’s description ❤️
i get made fun of for my tics😢
I think I have it caz I keep getting grux

I experience tics from anxiety and I wish I had found you when I started experiencing. Thank you for this
Thank you for being here ❤️
