Tic Attack 1.2.23 || Content Warning || Tourette’s PANDAS

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.พ. 2023
- ‼️content warning for this video: this can be quite upsetting for people to watch who aren’t used to this kind of thing, no offence is taken if you cannot watch the whole thing‼️
⚠️also if you have tourettes/tics i recommend skipping this video. it contains harmful & severe tics that could trigger you, make your tics worse or give you new harmful tics and i would absolutely hate that.⚠️
-------------------------
hi everyone🧡 i have been really wondering whether to post this or not, it’s super vulnerable and i didn’t want to upset anyone, but i rarely show this side on youtube.
i always show baking, or just really light hearted things but that’s only like 15% of the time. the rest is pretty difficult.
i did a little video at the end to show you all that i am okay after tic attacks, it takes me a little while to recover, and i am sore and tired today.
but i’m so proud of myself for going to gymnastics after the attack and still getting things done🧡✨
it’s really important for me as an advocate to show all sides of Tourettes & PANDAS, even the sides that are hard to watch, because of course for me, it’s hard to actually go through it.
thank you for watching, yes i am okay🧡 lots of love🧡🐼

When your mom came in and put her arm between yours, it made me tear up. I'm sure you know how supported and loved you are.. if it weren't for them, you probably wouldn't have the courage to show this hard part of your life with the world. Thank you for showing us everything in the raw. You are helping people, always remind yourself that there can even be good that comes from this torture. 💛
same!!!
I also cried because I have gotten tic attacks pretty bad and also just been through a lot and my mom has NEVER been there. I'm currently having such extreme tics I'm likely going to have brain surgery. I also have a medically complex 2½ year old daughter.
i was about to say if no one said this it needed to be said. i teared up too. she has such a great support system
timestamp?
Love your mum.
Glad I'm not the only one so touched by this. Brave girl with amazing eye make up!
I think it's super important that you shared this because it shows the other side of Tourette's and tics where it isn't fun and it isn't funny all the time. It can be really exhausting and really painful. I can't imagine going through this on a regular basis, you must get so tired. Thank you for sharing this vulnerable moment with us
It isn’t fun most of the time and only rarely funny.
In fact, most of us don’t say or do anything funny. It’s just annoying and embarrassing.
@@Laurap01I have Tourette’s and I agree
thank you for being so brave and sharing this with us, evie. it must be scary to share yourself being vulnerable. as someone who does not have tics, your content has educated me a lot. thank you ❤️
I agree it shows others your not alone i don't have tourettes but i do have autism and I have one tic were when im excited or happy i will hit my head on the top shoulder fast repeatability and yes it's painful but people like evie have show me to just be my self and not let others opinions both you
@TheTrippyHippie I am only know about seizures are like. That's only part I can relate to/understand how they feels. Sending 🤗 support. I am Celebrating 10 Years seizures free. I wanted you to know as you would understand seizures. 💚💛💙Lot's of loving support to you Evie from over the pond ☺in Canada 🍁 🍁
Your Mom is an absolute Angel, when she put her arm in to you dont hit urself. Also ur Dad is amazing as well. Really hope you feel better soon Evie.
you are so brave for putting this on this platform,well done.This shows awareness and thank you for doing that,🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼
Oof, Evie 😔 The smacks & punches are SO hard! I can hear the intensity. You’re right, this is very difficult to watch but I love supporting you. I’m really proud of you for posting private & vulnerable videos of yourself in the name of awareness/education 💜 Side note… it’s kind of mind blowing that you’re able to coherently speak, laugh & think all while your tics are running rampant.
Ive been in the medical field for some time and I think this is so important. The more awareness, the better! The medical breakthroughs we have anymore are because of videos and people who are strong enough to make them. Just like Claire did with CF, you will make a difference one day Evie. I am sure of it
So sorry you have to deal with this. I have a question for you if you wouldn’t mind answering. I have seizures and tics (I have PTD so I don’t have vocal tics and mine are caused from seizure damage) but I’ve been asked a lot to post vids of my seizures. I have always edited my tics and seizures out of my content because I don’t feel comfortable with the world having access to that. How did you develop the confidence to post your obvious health issues? I struggle with this a lot and I’m not sure weather I should work on it or stay private as I have been
Evie has a playlist on TH-cam . Check it out it’s amazing ❤
@@epilepsyawareness2020 at some point you say “Facebook” it and you stop hiding. In Romania is hard if you show disabilities. Since I moved to uk I got to the point that I let the tic happen and I stopped caring what people say.
@@AndyDeiu thank you so much, that means a lot. I wish I had that confidence, maybe someday I’ll find it😂
Showed this to my best friend who had a bad attack and fainted in school today (showed her this in hospital) and she was so happy to know that someone else understood her. Evie you are a hero to many and your content is very educational to others. Thank you for sharing this. 💗💖
Hope your friend is okay 💜
Yeah, I agree with your friend, it feels so calming to see that someone out there is going through the same/similar as we do. Thanks, Evie for the feeling that we're not alone.
The bravery to share this with the internet is astounding because people can be so disgusting and mean. But it’s so educational. Knowing when to ask for help during one, and knowing you’ll be okay is great.
Your mums little comments fill me with such warmth ‘doesn’t hurt I’ve got me coat on’ and her asking if it’s okay to put the meds in your mouth so that consent is had as obviously you couldn’t have given it yourself and stuff.
Glad you felt okay after this one!!
This really brings tears to my eyes.. not just for your facial expression during the really heavy ticks like you are obviously sick and tired of it. Of course, you cannot help it in any way, so I can barely imagine your feeling hopeless at times.. And your mom.. Just for her to be there and hold you, having the same hopeless expression in her look.. she should get a medal for that!
The fact that people *still* think this is made up or that you do it on purpose astounds me. This can’t be faked. No one would want this. I’m so impressed by your courage! Sending you love and calm energy. Thank you for educating us all. ❤
The pain in your eyes just made a tough as nails grown man tear up. I'm as hard as they come with very little compassion or sympathy (my theory is I don't want any therefor I don't give any) but you just showed some real guts and bravery. How you can regularly go through something as awful as that and yet come out the other side with a smile, gentle voice and kindness in your eyes just makes me feel humble. I wish you all the happiness and peace there is to give.
You are such an inspiration, the fact that you go through these attacks and can still smile when you must be in so much pain. Thanks for teaching us what it’s like for dealing with Tourette’s, you are amazing
Our sweet Evie. I find myself trying to reach through the screen to comfort you. You are so brave. Your Mom is so beautiful. Sending you love, prayers and hugs from NC USA. 💕💕🙏🙏
This made me so emotional you are AMAZING!!! the fact that people could say you are faking tourettes makes me so angry thank so so much for sharing this and everything you do
I can only imagine that after a bad tic attack you must just be exhausted. You can see the amount of energy a person is using during tic attacks, not to mention the energy required (both physically and mentally) to try and relax and calm yourself where possible must take a lot. I really applaud you for being open about this though because it really does just help people understand and be more aware and accepting. Honestly half the time exposure is the first step in people learning. I used to work in hospitals and I'm so used to see all kinds of injuries and medical conditions that I don't even notice certain things anymore. It's all just a part of life and the more people see and understand about life the more open and accepting people become.
i'm so sorry you have to go thru this but also thank you for sharing and teaching us what it's like to live with Tourette's you are beautiful and we love you 💛
I developed tics only like a month ago for the first time in my life and it has been quite tough dealing with tic attacks. I really appreciate you showing yourself being vulnerable in a tic attack and showing how you deal with it. You are really strong and you give me strength to help me adapt to the changes in my life❤
I had the same thing happen to me after getting stitches but thankfully it only lasted for 4 months i hope the same goes for you.
your mom seems like an absolute rockstar 💜
also good on you for alerting your parents that you were having a tic attack.
as others have said, you have major guts to post this online 💜 wishing you the best from across the pond
Evie, first, you're so strong for just even posting this. Two, your parents are just as strong as you. I couldn't imagine seeing someone like my daughter, screaming and hitting herself, and know there's nothing you can do besides wait and be there for her. It's gotta be so painful, to go through and to see it. I love you guys, and I wish I could be a part of the family
Hey Evie, it's so nice to see you on TH-cam again, I'm one of those old farts who doesn't do all the million social media stuff. But so, so sorry to see you suffer like this :( You are a beautiful person and have courage like no other. God bless you, Jill xxxx
Okay, admittedly I've never seen any of your videos before. This video just popped up on my feed and I clicked on it. But honestly, my heart broke when I saw the tick attack. I have met a few people with tourettes before, and I knew tourettes can get pretty bad and harmful, but I've never seen tourettes like that before. You are such a beautiful girl, and you are so brave to put your tick attack online. Thank you for letting the world get a glimpse at what its like.
i've been lucky enough not to have a tic attack in a few months, my tics feel like they've been almost non-existent. i have times like this, honestly it feels really invalidating because its like.. did i ever even have tics? but you're channel really helps, so thank you for bringing this awareness, evie.
I love you Evie! You’ve really helped me through my battle with Tourette syndrome and depression as well as PNES
PNES seems like a funny acronym but it stands for psychogenic non epileptic seizures
Not saying its funny but who chose that acronym 👁👄👁
I got all three of those too. So happy to see there's others like me
I refer to my anxiety as a marathon sitting still. Your attacks are a literal marathon! I appreciate the honest way you approach this and you do show it in a way that’s not too scary. ❤ hang in there Evie! You’re doing great!
Thank you so much for sharing this side of the condition. I was not aware it can get this serious and I am sorry that this happens to you
Thank you for continuing to spread awareness! I’ve been watching your videos for years. Keep staying strong!
Thanks for being so vulnerable with us and allowing us to see a glimpse into how these tic attacks are for you and for others with PANDAS or tourettes
Thank you for being so open about this it couldn't of been easy X the more awareness the better all my love Evie
Thank you for your courage in sharing such a raw moment 💜
I appreciate so much your authenticity! That is incredible that you bring out this content, it is so rare, and it is raw and human and just great to see and experience. Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing Evie. You being so vulnerable is so amazingly brave. We all love you Evie. And wish you happiness!
Oh how I want to hug you and your whole family. Thank you for continuing to let us into your story. 💕
you and your mom r both so fucking strong, thank u for always sharing openly and spreading awareness.
You are so brave to share your story. Loving the sunflowers by the way🌻
As always, sending tons of love my friend! Thank you again for being the one who has taught me most of what i know, and we are all proud of you for your strength and vulnerability.
Evie you're so brave. I had to skip some of this as since a severe mental health episode my anxiety/ocd tics got really bad and still are and I could feel them starting. Love you for raising awareness thank you💛💜
It is very heartwarming seeing your family are there for you 100% and your mom is amazing. Must be genetic. Thank you for sharing something so very vulnerable and not easy.
You’re so so so strong! We all see how exhausted you are 🩷
Thank you for spreading awareness. Tic attacks look so exhausting, you are so strong
You’re a constant amazement Evie 🤗, thank you for your letting everyone see your fabulous personality and strength.
Thank you for sharing this with us - I cried, feeling a sense of solidarity and despair that you have to live with these AND still have people feeling they are entitled to justification that this is real. Sending masses of love, Evie, and hoping Emma mattresses (or any brand!) come up with a breathable, padded suit that’s easy to get on in times like these..!
Sending so much love :( Its hard to post things like this where people can be so quick to make assumptions and judegemnts, and especially on a platform like this where haters basically are ignored (by yt). You are such an inspiration and I have so much respect for you, and i hope that the soreness goes away quickly.
I am sitting here crying because I’ve felt this in some sort of way. And I am so grateful that you shared this. I know it must have been hard but we are all here to support you. Sending so much love 💕
You're very brave endure and post this. Much respect. And your mum is amazing, I cried when you made such a determined effort not to hurt her. Thank u for the outtro, I'm glad you are OK x
Thanks for sharing this, that was a very brave thing to do, showing a vulnerable moment like this really proves how strong you are ❤
You're so so brave Evie!! I can't imagine how physically and emotionally tiring your tics can be especially during an attack. Thank you for showing all sides of your tourette's and pandas. It's so educating and although I don't struggle with it personally, the things i've learned from your videos i try to add to conversations when i can. you're so inspiring. thank you for being you and sharing your journey with all of us. sending so much love to you ❤❤❤❤❤
This video! Saddens me that you have to go through this ordeal, yet inspires me by your strength and resilience. You are an incredibly strong young women and an amazing role model.
You are really brave sharing this and I understand what it’s like because I’ve had tic attacks before. You are an amazing person and it raises awareness. You deserve all the support in the world
Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us. I'm Glad you're feeling better after the attack and hope you were able to go to gymnastics.
Your mum is such a blessing. She knows just how to handle these situations now and doesn't show panic/fear. Just unconditional love and compassion ❤️
I have so much respect for you. You are doing such an amazing job at spreading awareness whilst also being very aware of other people. You go out of your way to learn things about other disbilities to help spread awareness for those as well.
I'm autistic with ADHD and whilst it isnt the same, I imagine it may feel similar. Whenever I have meltdowns I get rushes of energy throughout my entire body, especially in my arms, legs and neck, which is what causes a lot of the harmful behaviour seen within meltdowns (hitting things, pulling hair, kicking etc) and it is not something that can be controlled, if you do try to control it it just gets worse. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to experience that 24/7.
You are an insanely impressive person and I hope that one day more people strive to be more like you.
Thank you for this eevie. I don't have tourettes, but other disabilities and making yourself so vurnable makes me feel seen.
The love your Mumma has for you is so lovely to see. I can't imagine going through this, but it makes me so happy that you have the support you do. I've been following you for years and years and literally watch you grow up! Much love to you and yours
get better soon evie, hoping you weren't in to much pain
That seems so exhausting and painfl, you took it on with such revere and strength. I'm glad you have a family who loves you enough to stand with you through this💕💕💕
I can only imagine how this must affect you, but thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. i wish you nothing but the best
Thank you for sharing your raw life 🧡 I can't imagine being so brave and resilient. You're so amazing, I love that you are a gymnast, an artist, an animal lover, an author! You are so many things. Your tourettes/pandas journey as well as your life is inspiring.
This brought me to absolute tears...You my sweet are the definition of a warrior and your mum a hero ❤️. You are such an inspiration even to someone not suffering with a debilitating disorder like tourettes. So much love for you and your parents ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing such a personal moment with us. You are really bringing a lot of awareness and hope to those of us who need it. I think this video especially makes it very clear that some of your amazing strength and bravery comes from your mom. The way she handled the whole situation, protecting you from the tics and giving you your medication, all while staying calm and caring was so special to watch. You both are so sweet.
Your mum is so beautiful, and I am so sorry you have to go through this. Bless you both.
You are very brave to share this. I genuinely hope it will get better for you.
Thank you for making videos and spreading awareness, Evie! I'm so happy that I discovered you all those years ago. Also, I love the look of your room! It looks so cozy and calming.
As difficult as it may be to see, it's even more important that you put this awareness out there and you are so courageous for doing so. Showing this level of vulnerability is never easy but you still do it and should be proud. I do hope you are doing better now. As a side note, I love your makeup and the sunflower look you did here. 🥰 So much love, Evie. 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for sharing this side of tic disorders. It's so important for people to see this side of things to help us fully get the gravity of disorders like this.
Your mom brought tears to my eyes. A literal angel on earth! She reminds me so much of my mom. I've got chronic health issues and my mom... I can't even put into words how wonderful and dedicated she is.
We love you Evie and we are all here to support you
I’m so sorry. I have multiple chronic illnesses and can’t imagine how difficult and exhausting this must be! Sending so much love❤ thank you for spreading awareness and showing the reality of living with your condition!
This was devastating to watch, I was crying for you by the end. Thank you for letting us know you were ok after and thank goodness you have the most amazing parents to care and support you x
You’re the strongest person out there! I wish you all the luck in the world❤
You are so brave and amazing!
We're in this together🤝🏻💙💗
This really means a lot to see other people going through this. I started ticing about 11 months ago and they've been getting increasingly more intense/complex very quickly. I'm currently waiting on a referral to neurology and have started a low dose of diazepam as and when I need it. But still I was joking with a colleague today about getting whiplash from trying to answer an email while my head was whipping back and forth. It's just difficult being the only person I know irl atm who has tics, and your openness and vulnerability give me the confidence not to be ashamed of them (or at least try not to!). Thank you a million
hearing you talk about your seizures and tic attacks connection makes me feel seen. i had a tic attack seizure combo thingy today and it scared me since i havent had a tic attack in so long. i hope you’re doing okay and i hope you feel better if you arent okay. love you sm
Such a loving mother, wonderful to see how much you both care for each other
Wow, i truly have so much respect for you. You are so brave for not only dealing with these things, but also for sharing these moments with us. Those beats looked so painful :( Thanks for sharing your experiences to spread awareness of PANDAS, as someone who doesn't have it and recently found out about it💛 Hope you are doing well!
you poor poor thing its unreal what you have to go through it must be so tiering you are so brave for showing what this illness is like to live with your amazing hope thing get better for you keep doing what your doing and showing what its like to be in your shoes hopefully it will help people who have this illness and the people who dont understand what this is to learn more.🧡
My dog was sitting at my tv looking so sad, you’re so strong❤️❤️ proud of you for posting this
You are so unbelievably strong Evie!!! I can really feel the distress and the pain 💚 your mom are a true angel 💚
Glad your ok. Seeing you go threw the tick attack and how much it takes outta you is crazy. Must feel like you've had a full body workout after. Thank you for showing us this even if it ain't pleasant. Make me see how much of a fighter you are. Gymnastics after a exhausting tick attack damn total respect to you. Love the yellow eye makeup. Anyway take care peace out x
I seriously weep at the thought of you and others going through something like this. 😭
But seeing you come through it and still smiling is testament to the immense strength of character in you. 💪💪
Wishing you and your family to stay safe, stay strong, stay safe.
Know that, when these attacks happens you have thousands of people holding your hand, willing you through it.
Deepest respect for the rock that is your mother 😍😍
Thank you for sharing. As so many others have said, you're very brave for being public with your condition and I hope & pray that there will be more & more understanding from the general public & also more research.
i love these videos so much ❤ it makes me feel so comfortable knowing i’m not alone (thank you for making these )
This made me cry. Love you!!
Absolutely the most difficult “thumbs-up” I’ve ever given to anything. So difficult to say I “like” - but you’re such an amazing, wonderful person. Sharing more than I could begin to consider. Educational, caring, and a right lovely job redecorating your room.
I'm so sorry you have to go through this, Evie. I always find it so emotional to watch and yet I know the awareness you bring to the world with this content makes you a brave and strong woman! I find both you and your Mum true inspirations and I can only pray for your comfort, strength and, hopefully, your ultimate recovery from this disease. I love you both so much! ❤❤
I’m so glad you have your parents. I see how frustrated you get when the tics happen. I hope the best for you. We pray all the time for you. We do love your videos and hope you’re ok.
Girl, you mom is an angel
Hi Evie, I have followed your journey for a couple of years now and recently brought your book which I found so beautiful and moving to read. This video is yet another example of your perseverance and resilience. I live with a disability and find your story and your honesty so inspiring. Keep going and don't give up. x
You are a wonder, brave, beautiful heart. Never let anyone make you feel less.
You're incredibly strong. Watching this had somehow really made me feel better about my anxiety attacks actually. I'm autistic so when I panic I stim really bad which is what I call electricity in me too. Just thank you for being so open and raw and sharing your coping mechanisms.
Hey Evie, hope your doing okay! Thank you for showing awareness. Ever since i have found your content, i have been getting more and more educated about tourettes and other disorders/conditions. Stay safe
i am so sorry that you go through all of these tic attacks. i went to schools for people with severe reading and writing disabilities. and had two friends that had tourette's themselves.. i until now never realised just how serious and bad they can be.. and i am soo sorry that you go through all of this. nobody should have too go through and deal with what you do..
Hi Evie, I want you to know that your efforts with sharing this part of your life are appreciated. I watched the whole video even if it got upsetting at times, but I managed to sit with this feeling and focus on your experience. I've never met someone with Tourette and your videos help me educate myself in case I do meet somebody. Thanks to you I learned the meaning of the sunflower lanyard ❤
I just want to say how incredible you are. And how brave you are to put yourself out there. Sending love
Thanks for being brave and sharing with us Evie ❤
i feel so bad for you i could be as strong as you.. you are the best person ever to be able to deal with this… i am crying right now you make me feel like i can do anything…. i have anxiety issues but watching your light hearted attitude towards your ticks helps me through my anxiety attacks keep doing what you are doing… i hope every watching this video got something out of it…. love you💙💙💙
I can't get over how much of a sparkling person you are. I hope your video helps others in similar or equally demanding situations realize that they, too, can be lovely and whole even when life is unfair.
...
I freaking love your bedroom. No lie, green walls, fairy lights, and a succulent in a tea cup here 😊.
You change our world for the better - with your advocacy with PANDA and touretts, as hard as it is watching you suffer like you do, my mind gets wider and some day I will meet someone, and Ill understand a little bit more, and make that person feel seen and accepted, no matter what they bring to the table. I have so much love for you Evie! Take care
Thank you for sharing and the moment with you mum was so lovely ❤️
I love how everyone in this chat is super supportive and loving. I hope this changes a few hater's minds about Tourette's because they see some people fake it and then throw people like you in the pile acting like everyone with this disorder is faking which is simply not true. Love you Evie stay strong :3
Your Mom is an Angel... ❤️
Much love to you Evie ❤️❤️❤️
That made me so sad because you are such a happy uplifting person.
