Oh my goodness!! Girl, this explains so much of why I used to hit my head with books because my brain wouldn't stop repeating it's self. I know your pain, I understand your suffering. It's so freaking true!!
Hi. I have tourettes too. I understand what you are going through. If you need support, I am here. I am 12 years old, but i know how it feels. I was just diagnosed, i did not think my impulsive thoughts, wierd groans, and hand shaking was tourettes. I had a huge dream to be a surgeon, but now i can not. I was crushed. I felt like i had no control whatsoever. You are an escape for me. Thank you.
we're a similar age then though i don't have tourettes, i do have autism and i'm intrigued in learning about other disorders and right now tourettes is my main focus in content about neurodivergency i can only imagine what it feels like having tourettes. but it's definitely not pleasant from what i have witnessed in, say, carly's videos
@@Ms.MetalHead i mean i'm not saying that psychology is my special interest (if you're really curious then it's music) but i just like hearing about other people perceive the world, for example i watch tommy edison's videos on blindness sometimes.
Mental tics are so bad, nobody can see them but they can be even more disruptive than my visible tics. When I tic outwardly, I do it and it’s out of my system. I don’t have to think about it (until the urge comes again). But with mental tics, it gets in the way of everything. My worst mental tic was repeating the phrase “to be honest” in my head. It was hard because whenever I had it, I expected a legit thought would follow it. I couldn’t ignore it. I recently had one that was just “men in socks”. I know it’s nonsense so it’s easier to dismiss.
I get those as well, sometimes it gets son bad I also hear the song in my sleep, almost like a backing track. It's definitely not the same as getting a song stuck, I also have those and it's fine and if I listen to the song it goes away. But with mental tics listening to the song makes it worst or stay even longer
Hey there. I really enjoyed hearing you talk about your experience. You sound like a very cool person to be around. I know you've been through a lot of difficulties due to the tics. I can relate. I'm a 27 years old man. I was never diagnosed with Tourette and no doctor took me seriously. Today I came to the realization that I probably have had a mild form of this syndrome for 20 years. And it hurts a lot, I am crushed... When I was a child I had very severe tics, and my parents would just make fun of me or tell me to stop ! They couldn't understand that it was impossible, it's up to the nervous system. I've never met anyone else with tics. My brother and my sister had a few tics but it stopped. Mine didn't... Today I still have tics, most of the time it's light to moderate intensity. I hide them under more common movements so people don't really notice. 90% of the tics happen above the shoulders. It has caused me so much problems in life... Focusing is hard, I was mocked, social interactions used to be awkward because I was making faces, low self esteem etc... My tics are : contraction of my left shoulder and face, moving my neck in one direction, blinking, rubbing my eyes, blowing some air through my nose, and occasionally I'll mirror my movements. Also I have one very strange tic. Usually, movement before my eyes will trigger an automatic nervous response in my eyes area. Someone waving before my eyes would get me very nervous. When I drive, the wipers give me anxiety. If I pass by something real quick, its motion bothers me. When I see something, it's almost like I can physically feel its weight and it triggers a sensation of light pressure somewhere in my face that needs a release. Sometimes, I'll have full days without any tic, then one day it will be terrible. It has improved a lot over years, but it's still there. The only thing that calms me down is laying in bed and deep breathing. I hope I will still be able to find love because I feel so worthless. I know people around me enjoy my presence and never mentionned it, but the feeling is inside of my head. I feel different and not understood. Sorry for my english, I'm trying my best. Thanks a lot
My 8 year old was just diagnosed with chronic vocal & motor tic disorder in October. & it’s been hard for him to just adjust to accepting and trying some medication for him as well.
Girl, i completely feel for u, i have small ticks because i have major nerve damage, but i could not imagine how u do it. Sending much love to u, and i hope u do awesome on ur exams!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I didn't realize my eye rolling and shoulder shrugging are signs of tourettes...I cannot control it and it happens all the time when I have conversations with people...but I do it to a lesser degree when I'm alone...I do other things like if I'm watching combat sports and when theres punching and kicking I'll randomly throw a punch or a kick when I see it completely unable to stop myself...I've never done this towards a person I have never been diagnosed for tourettes but I have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder... now that I'm an adult I feel like it's pointless to even seek a diagnosis...no one ever told me these things could be a disorder..and even if I'm diagnosed what could they do for me... except charge me thousands of dollars. I was always told I'm just eccentric and "everyone does strange things sometimes"
I don't have Tourette's disorder but I'm on the autistic spectrum (idk where) and then I'm like "I wonder what would happen if there were no laws" and then spend half an hour flapping my hands around

@@majman446 oh, cool, man, it is cool to meet someone like me. I dont socialize much, and when i do, it is with neurotypicals.
