YAY i finally got 100th like on something! And yes. It is really difficult. A lot of the time you feel very alone and emotional when going through a tic attack or period where you have a lot of tics. I have a really amazing friend though who stays with me when I'm going through that. She asks me if I'm okay and holds my hand, and it feels really nice to just have somebody with me that cares about me. She also has helped me before with social issues and understanding how people feel about me (that's something I've always been really worried about, because I have social anxiety and autism as well). It's a lot easier with somebody by your side who cares about you and who helps you.
it’s really hard for me to see you fighting the tic attacks. It was honestly my first time hearing about tics and also my first time to see what tics actually look like. the fact that you have to be in an empty room so you can control yourself and fight it. it must be really hard for you to deal with this every single day but thank you so much for posting and showing the society about disabled people’s daily life struggles
You’re so brave to share this with us. Thank you, it helps me understand the disorder. I think it’ll help all of us (humans), to relate and connect and show kindness and understanding.
I don’t know why but my body instantly reacts when someone talks about mental disorders and Tourette’s or tics because my body kind of forgets I have them some of the time and when a topic of Tourette’s tic’s or mental disorders comes up my body remembers then I start jerking my head back and everything-
Brain can only do one thing at a time😂. I guess it's the same as when you don't notice how you breathe until you think about it, and then you're focused on your breathing for an awkward while😅
Wow it's almost like the brain is glitching out so much. These videos are interesting to observe and understand how the human body works in certain situations. This is my first video seeing how Tourette's syndrome works and it was very interesting. Thank you.
My girlfriend has Tourettes too and I find it really interesting how the pitch curve for your "I don't like you" tic is exactly the same as for her "I hate you" one. (Though she only generally gets "I hate you" with people she likes rather than when she's on her own. So sometimes I reply to it with "love you too honey 😊"; sometimes responding to them can help disrupt the flow and break her out of it.) I've recently been getting her to try using my spare wheelchair for her pain, balance, and yeah for bad tic days. Thankfully she already knew some other ppl with Tourettes who used a wheelchair for it, but was still on the "but I'm not -that- bad" train until she met me in my chair.
I just want to say that you're amazing. And I really appreciate people with Turret syndrome. And the "I don't like you. I don't like you. Have a cupcake." on 2:30 was so funny)
I'm really happy to hear about the support from your friend. And I feel pleased that there are arrangements for you to do your exams even during the difficult days.
I’m so sorry that you had to go through that in the middle of exams, Zara! It must be rough being misunderstood from your Tourette’s and other chronic conditions. I’m happy you have support and people who can help when you’re having an attack. Stay safe, Zara. LOTS OF LOVES!!!❤️❤️❤️
I don’t have attacks to often but when I do there always so scary and hard to deal with, thank you so much Zarah for posting these verry vulnerable moments as it really lets others have a view into how hard life is living with TS/Tics
Sounds hard to go through. Your friend sounds like she's healthy for you. I hope its not hard to keep good people in your life. I know its hard for others and myself but yeah you sound like someone worth keeping around. Your sweet.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this! I hope none of the tics hurt you, like one of mine used to, just know it'll be done after and you've got your amazing friends supporting you
I know exactly how this feels and it’s horrible, especially the big tics that are very tiring very quickly. My friend, the person I trust the most in the world and that I love so much, tries to help me as much as possible and get me the quiet I need because while I’m not diagnosed yet, my tic attacks can get bad. Lots of love to you, Zara, I wish you all the best🫶🏻
i spend HOURS looking for content creators who have medical conditions. i am a person with pku and i find it really difficult to find someone who understands me and others. thank you so very much, Zara.
I love all your videos and showing how hard it is to handle tics, faints, and seizures I really feel bad for you cuz I know how hard it is for them to randomly start I’m glad your tics, faints, and seizures are getting better especially your tics, tics are just really hard to control and very dangerous like as I saw in the video your tics were getting very dangerous and hard to calm them down. Love you!
I really feel you. I have tics myself. I like watching your videos because you’re so relatable and you make me realise that I’m not the only one who has tics. We are in this together
I really respect your work on TH-cam! IMHO it helps to understand and accept other people in general, not only such with special needs and abilities. Some tolerance and kindness and our lives improve❤
Forgot to say i kind of feel bad about editing Zara having to watch this back lol, i hope you didnt have another tic attack while editing and i hope you are okay Zara!
I too have tourretes syndrome, i don't have involuntary tics but i have alot of empathy for you girl. keep up the good work. your so brave for being able to share this, I always see my tics as very embarrasing but your very very brave.
Really sorry for this to happen to u in ur exam but its was for a reason and u will get through this strong and bold ur the amazing person and u will achieve bigger and better things in the future. One day you will show this cural world that you were born to be a miracle and help people
Seeing you being able to go through college and stuff makes with tics makes me feel like me with my disorders like autism and trichotillomania and many more you make me feel like I can do it and I always was scared of growing up because of my disorders
im just nontop watching your content rn bcs im having a rlly bad tic attack and its helping calm me down in a waya swell as triggering me xx Loll !You probably wont see thsi but if you do thnk you so much for all you o for the community of your viewers, me and my friend use you as a support system, i listen to your music to get me out of a tic attack
Wow. Thank you for sharing!. I can't imagine how unpleasant it must have been to go through. I recently watched your video on if tics are painful. I would def attach this video in the cards or description or something. Wow, you are strong and brave
I feel ya! ❤ i only have one tic but it definitely limits my breathing and makes it hard to swallow food and drinks. It also makes me constantly interrupt myself in conversations so I often can’t finish sentences or simply get too tired and stop talking altogether . I see you girl! ❤ you’re so cool for just carrying on with your studies and stuff despite your tics etc. You seem like such a cool person as well! 🎉❤ and yea it’s interesting how no day is like the other - I can go a couple of days sometimes hardly noticing my tics (or not being bothered by them/not having them) but then I’ll get a whole week filled with tics to the point where I literally can’t breathe. And then I wake up and it’s just not there. Next day it’s back again. So strange 😅
You are so helpful with these vids, Zara. Tourette is one of the few mental issues I don't have (no more space for faults in my brain, I guess), but I watch your content with a combination of pleasure (how you bring it) and utter respect (who you are). You are a blessing for many.
@nuclearcooties9679 who the hell do you think you are saying that?! It's not a mental issue. You a frigging doctor are you? If you have nothing positive to say, shut the fuck up and don't comment. Bellend.
@@Aurora18665 no need for the rude negative unnecessary comment. Have some respect and decency. Zara is a lovely sweet girl and comments like yours are unpleasant and unwanted.
@nuclearcooties9679 who do you think you are saying that? Are you a doctor, someone in the medial professional?! More than likely not. If you haven't got anything positive to say in regards to Zara, then do one!!! Don't comment, keep them to yourself. No one needs to see your negativity.
God bless you, Zara, wow. You are a number one badass warrior woman! What strength to not only deal with that every day, but to share it with the world to help others. I just wanted to give you a hug the whole time. But I would guess something like that probably doesn't actually help? I hope you know what a brilliant light you are in this dark world. ❤
I don't have tourette's but I am neurodiverse. I have ADHD and Autism and a rare genetic disorder called FHH I have a college exam in a few days. And already is really effecting me mentally. I'm glad you managed to get the support you needed from your college. Sometimes it can be really hard to get people to understand that your not asking extra questions due to a lack of effort or trying but actually your trying constantly to hide a learning difficulty.
I have a very special place in my heart for others with Tourette’s, my cousin has it and was made fun of growing up for his serious uncontrollable tics and it would break my heart as a child watching others make fun of him when he was already struggling to just exist and get through the day. I got sent to the office several times as a child for punching others for bullying my precious little cousin lol… nothing angered me more than the bullies. To this day he’s one of the best and kindest people I know. Be kind guys. Even if you don’t understand it or can’t relate to it, be kind. These people are so beautiful and they may respond differently at times than others but they are just like the rest of us. Their daily lives are so much harder than you’ll ever know. Be grateful you don’t have to know what it’s like. But be respectful, always. Be accommodating with no judgements. Have a heart. Have compassion. Be supportive. Thank you Zara for sharing this with the world. ❤
You're an amazing woman Zara thank you for the insight. I used to have one tic, I would constantly snap my head backwards to crack it and I would doit anywhere anytime.
Ita really brave of you to post stuf like this on the internet cuz people can be so crul and mean! Im sorry you have to go through this but you handle it like a champ! Love you!!❤❤
In the past year, my Tourettes has gotten so severe that I can struggle to walk due to the constant twitching, and I have nearly gotten into car accidents after having a tic episode behind the wheel. My vocal tics used to be pretty quiet, but now there loud and obnoxious. I've tried changing my medication, but nothing seems to work. It's painful. I'm constantly sore. Thank you for raising awareness for this condition.
you'd think someone would just be making all this up and randomly saying all this, but its the sad truth that people like this cannot control any of this
I had a tic attack earlier this week when we were doing I ready testing (a dignostic to show what you know and what you need to work on) So I usually go to the office and take my test in a quiet room after my tic attack.
I was in a tic attack! Sheesh, for me it is like I become allergic to everything around me(which I do have a lot of allergies but magnified in these moments) scents, lights, noise, touch, pure overload and dissociation. I hid myself away, didn't know how to explain it and feared being locked up and drugged. So tired from decades of masking. Thanks to the new generation the invisible is becoming visible. Thanks to those doing the advocacy and those in support. Can't wait for you to publish. I'm buying 🎉
I have tics we don’t know the cause, sometimes watching your content can trigger them (no hate im fully aware that im doing it to myself) I really love your channel and I love how you teach and educate thanks for that Zara!
0:23 I don’t have Tourette’s but I do get tics and I have this exact same tic and sometimes once one starts it just keeps young and going and it’s kind of scary I also have one where I start to shudder kind of because it feels weird in my chest idk lol.
I don’t know what it’s like to have in voluntary movements like that, but I do have to say it’s nice to know that verbal tics are seemingly affected by what content one consumes given that one of them seemed to be based off of that one meme that goes “I like you, have a cupcake! I like you have a cupcake!…..eeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- I like you, have a cupcake!” But memes aside this doesn’t seem fun and I wish there was a way for you to get better. Thank you for posting about your experience with these things and educating people like me!
“I dont like you i dont like you cupcake woww” im not trying to be rude but weird things make me laugh sometimes and when you say the random words if makes me laugh im so sorry 😣
I used to have a tic where I would flinch, twitch my neck and sometimes lock up. I’m glad it wasn’t very severe but it was an every 30 second kind of thing and it was SOO annoying! I eventually got over it by trying not to think about it. I still do it sometimes and I’ve developed more tics but thankfully it’s not as bad as those. I don’t know what it is because I’ve never been diagnosed and I’m 12 years old, so I hope they don’t get worse eventually. I hope you get over hard times! You’re doing well ❤
INSHALLAH you will be okay i have epilepsy from 10 years now my age is 20 and i'm still fighting it i hope your tics will be okay just please listen to my advice take medicine regularly don't over think don't be angry and always be happy and take a long walk at the morning and in the evening and my best wishes to you and please reply me i will help you more because when my mother told these things to me now my epilepsy is low form when it was started and i have no attacks from the age of 10 to now i'm 20 and i'm still fighting INSHALLAH you will be okay
@ I mean my friend’s friend apparently has it I haven’t met her but my friend told me that whenever someone talks about it around her friend she tics 🤷♀️
Oh man, that sounds hard! I know Tourette's can act up when nervous, but I've never seen one this bad. I had a student with Tourette's once but it was only noticeable one time during our entire semester and that lasted maybe a millisecond. She didn't end up needing accommodations but made sure to approach me at the beginning of the semester to make sure I was aware. A question for you though, can you feel the tics coming or does it typically take you by surprise? I see you're wearing a badge and I guess that reminded me of the days I worked in a lab and it just occurred to me that working in a lab would literally be unsafe if you have zero warning before your tics. I can imagine being a doctor would also be tricky.
for the doctor thing, it depends on the person :) socialising as a doctor in formal settings would be difficult i'd imagine, but i know people who are tattoo artists and doctors etc who do have tourettes! concentration can make tics lessen and go away so doing surgery for example could actually focus so much the tics go away for some people but for me, no haha i definitely couldn't! and with feeling the tics coming, i can a lot of the time feel a physical feeling in the body part the tic will be in (just beforehand) and if it's a vocal tic, in my throat. but there are also tics which just come from "nowhere" and completely surprise me. i don't know what i say before it comes out, even if i feel it coming as a physical feeling
This happens to me and it’s really painful cause my neck flings forward and backwards and it rlly hurts and the sad thing is that none of my teachers know I have Tourette’s so they can’t help me if they don’t know and the worst part is that I’m young to be dealing with this ( diagnosed at 9 years old / two years ago) and I have jumping tics since I was 7 wich really annoys me and sometimes I hit myself really hard and my friend in maths started making fun of me so she started hitting herself while laughing and that really took a toll on me so I didn’t go to school for 2 days cause I was scared to be made fun off again. 😢
Stay brave and know that the ones who make fun have no idea what it is like to be you. They will learn as they grow too. You just keep being awesome you and talk to others that do understand. No more hiding as we all have struggles and need support. Talk to your parents, counselor or a trusted teacher and say how you feel for true. There is help and people do care!
I have to say you are awesome I’m on the autism spectrum my self and I know that things can be hard but seeing you overcome you tics is amazing PS your cute
I have text too, but I don’t have Tourette’s syndrome, but I have had mild tics from turning my neck to not being able to speak and taking 20 minutes to get out one word. It’s a very painful I’m sure you feel trapped in that room wherever you are. I would wanna go back to my dorm room. I’m so sorry you have to go through this you’re not alone
OMG. Exams can trigger disorders so bad. I have chronic OCD and after and during exams it flares up and feels like torture. I’ve failed a lot of exams because of this and sprained my wrist once bc of it. I relate to the exams triggering symptoms thing so much.
Ah man, it must be hard dealing with tics/tic attacks, they sound absolutely exhausting. Love you Zara! :)
they are, but after resting (and now i've finished college!) my tics are much less and i can cope a lot better 😊
@@Zara_BethHey zara! You alwayse make me feel better about my tics i feel like your the friend i always needed❤

You are amazing and thank you for sharing your life with us ❤ thank you for the education 🙏
I had a tic attack earlier this week when we were doing I ready testing (a dignostic to show what you know and what you need to work on) So I usually go to the office and take my test in a quiet room after my tic attack.
I was in a tic attack! Sheesh, for me it is like I become allergic to everything around me(which I do have a lot of allergies but magnified in these moments) scents, lights, noise, touch, pure overload and dissociation. I hid myself away, didn't know how to explain it and feared being locked up and drugged. So tired from decades of masking. Thanks to the new generation the invisible is becoming visible. Thanks to those doing the advocacy and those in support. Can't wait for you to publish. I'm buying 🎉
I have tics we don’t know the cause, sometimes watching your content can trigger them (no hate im fully aware that im doing it to myself) I really love your channel and I love how you teach and educate thanks for that Zara!
0:23 I don’t have Tourette’s but I do get tics and I have this exact same tic and sometimes once one starts it just keeps young and going and it’s kind of scary I also have one where I start to shudder kind of because it feels weird in my chest idk lol.
STAY STONG GIRL
"I really like you fuck off" getting mixed signals here 😅 Also love the 🤘as a tick😂. The breathing one is scary tho😢
I don’t know what it’s like to have in voluntary movements like that, but I do have to say it’s nice to know that verbal tics are seemingly affected by what content one consumes given that one of them seemed to be based off of that one meme that goes “I like you, have a cupcake! I like you have a cupcake!…..eeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- I like you, have a cupcake!” But memes aside this doesn’t seem fun and I wish there was a way for you to get better. Thank you for posting about your experience with these things and educating people like me!
More powe to you girl stay strong ❤
“I dont like you i dont like you cupcake woww” im not trying to be rude but weird things make me laugh sometimes and when you say the random words if makes me laugh im so sorry 😣
don't think too much don't be angry and always stay happy this is my advice and Zara are you taking medicine
It must be so hard fighting it especially in collage 😢 I feel so bad (it’s what makes you you 😊everyone’s different)
I can’t imagine nor do I dare want to Bless Your Heart it does look exhausting and frustrating
Consciousness about the moment is interesting… Sounds double states in harmony like enjoying yourself.
I used to have a tic where I would flinch, twitch my neck and sometimes lock up. I’m glad it wasn’t very severe but it was an every 30 second kind of thing and it was SOO annoying! I eventually got over it by trying not to think about it. I still do it sometimes and I’ve developed more tics but thankfully it’s not as bad as those. I don’t know what it is because I’ve never been diagnosed and I’m 12 years old, so I hope they don’t get worse eventually. I hope you get over hard times! You’re doing well ❤
INSHALLAH you will be okay i have epilepsy from 10 years now my age is 20 and i'm still fighting it i hope your tics will be okay just please listen to my advice take medicine regularly don't over think don't be angry and always be happy and take a long walk at the morning and in the evening and my best wishes to you and please reply me i will help you more because when my mother told these things to me now my epilepsy is low form when it was started and i have no attacks from the age of 10 to now i'm 20 and i'm still fighting INSHALLAH you will be okay

You are very brave zara ....❤ loads of love from India.

Oh man, that sounds hard! I know Tourette's can act up when nervous, but I've never seen one this bad. I had a student with Tourette's once but it was only noticeable one time during our entire semester and that lasted maybe a millisecond. She didn't end up needing accommodations but made sure to approach me at the beginning of the semester to make sure I was aware. A question for you though, can you feel the tics coming or does it typically take you by surprise? I see you're wearing a badge and I guess that reminded me of the days I worked in a lab and it just occurred to me that working in a lab would literally be unsafe if you have zero warning before your tics. I can imagine being a doctor would also be tricky.
for the doctor thing, it depends on the person :)
socialising as a doctor in formal settings would be difficult i'd imagine, but i know people who are tattoo artists and doctors etc who do have tourettes! concentration can make tics lessen and go away so doing surgery for example could actually focus so much the tics go away for some people
but for me, no haha i definitely couldn't!
and with feeling the tics coming, i can a lot of the time feel a physical feeling in the body part the tic will be in (just beforehand) and if it's a vocal tic, in my throat. but there are also tics which just come from "nowhere" and completely surprise me. i don't know what i say before it comes out, even if i feel it coming as a physical feeling
Hi from North Carolina. You are so beautiful. I love what you do. I love watching your videos. Happy New Year. ❤️
I hope your ok Zara ❤
She’s Not Ok She Has Tourette’s
Everything's alright
Everything will be better, always
I hope you find your inner peace sooner
?
It's the "I don't like u have a cupcake"😂😂❤❤
I have had motor tics for months now but about 3 days ago I got vocal tics and they are so hard to deal with.
This happens to me and it’s really painful cause my neck flings forward and backwards and it rlly hurts and the sad thing is that none of my teachers know I have Tourette’s so they can’t help me if they don’t know and the worst part is that I’m young to be dealing with this ( diagnosed at 9 years old / two years ago) and I have jumping tics since I was 7 wich really annoys me and sometimes I hit myself really hard and my friend in maths started making fun of me so she started hitting herself while laughing and that really took a toll on me so I didn’t go to school for 2 days cause I was scared to be made fun off again. 😢
Wish you all the best!
And please let your parents speak with your teachers, they need to know whats going on with you. Stay strong!
Stay brave and know that the ones who make fun have no idea what it is like to be you. They will learn as they grow too. You just keep being awesome you and talk to others that do understand. No more hiding as we all have struggles and need support. Talk to your parents, counselor or a trusted teacher and say how you feel for true. There is help and people do care!
I have to say you are awesome I’m on the autism spectrum my self and I know that things can be hard but seeing you overcome you tics is amazing PS your cute
I just wanted to say it must be really hard I just want to say your doing so good 😊😊
There’s a girl in our troop who faked Tourette’s for a whole year and a half.
I have text too, but I don’t have Tourette’s syndrome, but I have had mild tics from turning my neck to not being able to speak and taking 20 minutes to get out one word. It’s a very painful I’m sure you feel trapped in that room wherever you are. I would wanna go back to my dorm room. I’m so sorry you have to go through this you’re not alone
I LOVE YOU Q: what is your worst tic you hate❤❤❤
Happy new year Zara 🎉🎊🥳
OMG. Exams can trigger disorders so bad. I have chronic OCD and after and during exams it flares up and feels like torture. I’ve failed a lot of exams because of this and sprained my wrist once bc of it. I relate to the exams triggering symptoms thing so much.
