You’ll know it if you have TS. 😅 Too many people are un educated on Tourette’s I used to think the 😈 would make me do things and it’s was really crazy feeling. Diagnosed at age 7. Tough life. I tried to stay involved in sports. Also. Lt teachers would allow me to test outside of the room and minimize my in class time. It helped a ton. Sadly there is no cure. I have learned to manage and it has helped me in some aspects of life. For example memory and focus. I am master at doing 500 things at once. 😅🎉. 36 years of practice can do that for someone ….

[@RockyMountainBear]

I've had tics since I can remember, andI'm 37 now. Trying to mentally restrain myself is exhausting. The best things I've found to reduce the frequency of tics are; eat healthy (no sugar, caffeine, etc.), exercise (swimming is the best for me), and keeping a clear conscience. Stimulants & alcohol set off my tics really bad. There's a newer "tic" (I call it a tic for lack of a better word) that is really weird. It has only happened 3 times. It feels almost like an anti-tic. It's a feeling of overwhelming release of negative energy. No, I'm not a hippy. I don't know how else to describe it. It's like something plucks all this built up stress/strain/energy, then demolishes it, and I'm fine. It begins with me squeezing my eyes shut really tight. Have you heard of something similar from anyone else? No, I don't do any psychedelic mushrooms or acid, or any other drugs. I avoid them like the plague.

[@davesantos456]

You just described my life. I started out with the tics when I was about 14 years old OCD and I still have them today at 65 years old. I was being seriously bullied back then, especially on the schoolbus. I wasn’t diagnosed with Tourette’s until I was in my early 30s. I had a great neurologist at Yale who was doing Study on how and why few adults continued on with Tourette’s into their adulthood. I still have tics at 65 years old. The types have changed around like they were changing from one type of tic to completely different types. I had audible, physical and an occasional extreme anger tic. It’s tough to live with but with help and a good positive and supportive family and good friends there is nothing that you can’t deal with. “GOD has your 6.” (Meaning your back)

[@TweetyTwT]

I finally talked with my family doctor about my tics and seems I'm going to start seeing a therapist so I can train it away. It's not very severe, I can control it when I'm around other people but sometimes there is periods where it's harder. It's such a strange phenomenon

Mine have started in October, I still remember when I was making a noise that I couldn’t control in front of my dad, he practically said “what in the hell are you doing!?” And ever since then when I’m around him I just suppress them. I honestly hate it- I tried bringing it up but he pushed it off and said “oh! They’re just muscle spasms!” So now I’m starting to think that they are, but I know deep inside they’re tics- Can someone else relate to this? I don’t wanna feel alone-

[@LoachAo]

Yeah I've had weird tics but they always have like conditions before they happen, like I have a really common when I have to pee.

Motor and vocal here. I use a lot of soul searching and calming techniques to keep my tics under wraps!

[@Joezzey]

I found out this year that I've been having tics/tourettes since around 7 years. Had no idea it was a thing. Started with blinking, then neck/head twitching/tensing, ears moving, arm+leg tensing, teeth clenching/grinding, making grunting noises, eyebrow/forehead movement, (+some other things like scalp scratching/other repetitive movements) and almost nose flaring but I stopped myself from doing it before it became something. I've always wondered why this was happening to me and was so ashamed abt it, especially when my parents noticed and questioned/ told me to stop (only happened a few times cuz I've found ways to hide it/suppress). I've tried so hard to suppress it all my years that I was able to keep it quite subtle/mild although when I'm alone, it can get uncontrollable. I would try my best to hide it around others and let it out when I think no one would see/hear. Quite tiring... I remember my mom telling me to ask the doctor abt my head twitching when I had an appointment for something else (was embarrassed to bring it up and kinda perform it to him) and he simply said it was stress related... no further details;-; I remember I had one year when my life was at a "good" place meaning I felt pretty happy and healthy (exercising, hydrated, had friends to talk to and have a good time without much to worry abt) but it all came back when things fell apart haha. I also noticed that my breathing is quite shallow at times and i tend to want to take a deep breath in and out to relieve whatever has been built up inside. I believe my anxiety, depression and stress is probably related to it. It peaks when I'm either super excited abt something or super anxious. It's frustrating and I still feel ashamed. In certain activities like playing the piano, baking, doing photography, gardening, etc (activities that are therapeutic to me) I usually don't experience "tics". I just hope I can get rid of them one day or it not being such an interference with my day to day life. Always thought I had a problem, never had i ever categorized myself having some kind of mental disorder(?). Didn't even know abt me having depression+anxiety until later years.

[@sadCasserole]

I've had tics since March and they've only gotten worse, I've got a lot of tics such as: a little sneezing noise, saying/screaming "And Peggy", " Talk Less", "I'm good", and "fuck off", hitting myself in the chest, pulling my shoulders back, jerking my head back, biting my lip, making a little kissy noise, and scrunching up my nose. My mom dosent think anything is wrong but my chest is bruised most of the time, my shoulders hurt, my neck hurts, and I've constantly got headaches from jerking my head so much, I dont really know what to do.

[@DaChoi]

Try and eat less sugar, it really helps. When you feel an urge for a tic, try and relax yourself by breathing or streching. Try playing a sport, lifting some weights, drawing, playing an instrument or something that you enjoy to do and helps you relax. Don't stress about it too much, it will get better when you reach your adulthood.

I noticed a few very small tics about 2 months ago (at age 22), and recently I started feeling the urge to tic more frequently. I went to my doctor and he said it is a tic disorder, but we really don’t know anything about it yet. He said he would refer me to a neurologist if things got worse, and it definitely did. I developed SEVERAL new tics within 48 hours. I called the doctor back, and I will be seeing a neurologist soon. My mom thinks I could’ve had a slight tic when I was a baby, and there is another thing that I’ve always done since I was a toddler that seems like a tic, but be aren’t sure. Idk why it started going crazy all of a sudden but I have motor and vocal tics. I guess the neurologist might be able to give us more information, but this whole experience is just WILD.

I don’t know if I have the same thing, but whenever I see a surface or just something random I just think “hit” and as soon as I think that, I AGGRESSIVELY hit it lol

[@lynamaroo8800]

Not sure if you’ll see it, but personally I would watch it. If you also are absolutely not doing it on purpose it may be a tic. But feel free to reply if you have questions, but tics are also new to me too

[@lunaa7165]

sir... i dont wanna do self diagnose but i think i have motor tics :( idk my muscle moves by itself

[@mariapelzer8005]

I always clear my throat and cough and it annoys the hell out of me. I can’t go to the doctor or the neurologist or anything cause it’s too expensive. My parents never took me to one either for some reason even though my tics were clearly visible, in fact they always yell at me to stop clearing my throat and coughing. So I don’t know what to do about it

[@TourettesMobileMechanic]

Great video.

[@gogobeast99]

I hate when people comment on my tics because then they just happen more often.

[@melodypuckett2102]

My parents don’t believe me. They think I want attention. I have trouble with keeping calm

[@r3n308]

Sad to know that, but im believe on you. Sorry for bad English because im still learning

[@edotensei98]

I've this two motor tics (1) Chewing the soft skin or layer of inner cheek with teeth . (2) cracking the jawbone's joint. I look like a weirdo in the public but the 2nd tic feels so satisfying. Is it only me to feel this way?

[@caleb7719]

I used to have really have bad tics when I was younger people used to think I was crazy

[@kiaralasage9467]

Idk it this is a tic but my friend opens her eyes wide then shuts them tightly or she like makes a little while in her mouth and slowly sucks in air

[@kiaralasage9467]

[@nishaannishaan9558]

Hi..Your video is really motivating.. My son aged around 18 I noticed those jerks and twitches during January 2023, I took him to a neurologist where he was diagnosed with tourette's, he was prescribed with some medicines and we had 3 visits so far to the same doctor ..But the condition of my son remains the same and worse...We are very worried...

[@baycal2]

Medication will not make them go away. They are only for dulling the urge to tic. My daughter has Tourettes since kindergarten and is now 21. There is nothing that can be done. The only thing that helps keep them mild is a clean diet, quality supplements, exercise, and just generally a healthy lifestyle.

[@thatmiddleone]

I went to your website, but not sure if the OCD is the program for CBIT or not. My daugther has begun to have tics and we are looking for some help. They are evolving into her eyes and a bit of stuttering right now from a neck roll. We are working with a Dr. but would love a CBIT online course that you talk about. Any info would be great.

[@ChamomileMineral]

You know the Slavic community in America needs to be more educated on this!!! My father has tics and he has it all my life and I’m now 30!!!!

[@PrettyPenny432]

I don't know if I have chills or tics. I get this feeling that makes my whole body just move. Usually, my head yanks to the left or immediately tilts to the right while my body just thrashes for one second. I get a weird feeling before it comes on. Sometimes when this happens I make a noise but not all the time. I've had it for so long...idk

[@iatejiminsjams4321]

I don't think I have it but i do have a bad habit of moving and blowing into my eyes when I get nervous or bored. Also to move my eye in the direction of light and recently i have left one of my bad habits of kind of like coughing that i had for like 1-2 years . And then i had the habit to blow on my hands . Then the habit to smell things like everything.😑 I'm tiring to get rid of those habits because its kind of weird doing it in public.

[@iatejiminsjams4321]

oh and also one time i couldnt stop blinking yeah to much bad habits

[@millie..]

I think a kid in my class MIGHT have tics, or maybe it's something else, idk, but sometimes in class he will just go like: "AHHHH" or like grunt? Idk, it doesn't happen a lot though.

[@randiwallace3282]

When I was a kid I did a lot of hand flapping and shaking. But it eventually went away. I went my teen years completely free from them. Then in college an eye blink began. It's like a hard blink and feels like a tightness in the muscles around my eyes. It's a constant thing occuring throughout the day. No specific time for activity that inspires it most. Just all the time. But it causes migrains, so it's really dibilitating. They went away after a couple months and then came back at age 24. Again, they persisted for a couple months and stopped. Now I'm fighting them again at age 25. I'm not even sure if it's a tic it a muscle problem or what. It is so hard to explain and I can't find anyone who knows what's happening.

[@victoriamaestas1392]

Yes and I’m overwhelmed .😥

[@annareneesaldana707]

I tic but am not diagnosed yet and they got worse this year and noticeable. I am 43.

[@beavillanueva6518]

i jut started researching about tics but i have these kind of movements since i was a kid up to now at the age of 20. I didn't know that this is a disorder or something. I thought it was only a simple mannerisms that i still can control but i think no.. after watching this video i had and still have these example movements on the lists.

[@hitomich.721]

I've experienced suddenly flinging my arm or hand. It rarely happens tho but I'm still concerned.

[@lemonadecrushedice]

Yeah same or my leg

[@sonicgirl3582]

me too, like i don’t think i have tics but i feel the need to double tap my finger on my phone specifically on my right hand, i also roll my shoulders back until it feels like i have it perfect idk LOL. also i squeeze my toes hahsufoeksjhddkkw and i do this thing with my teeth i just idk how to explain i just keep chomping them togetehr but idk if it’s adhd or not i just get super mad and upset if i don’t do it

[@sonicgirl3582]

even my mom says to stop or why do i do that

[@sonicgirl3582]

like damn IDK HAGHAGAGAHAHAA

[@bittersweet9335]

@@sonicgirl3582 i have this but i also have head twitch and eye brow twitch and voice grunts and its been that way since i was like 12 lol. Im wondering if a tic being ocd driven disregards it as being a part of tourettes

[@barbaramelady110]

Amazing informations

[@oooleh]

I had a tic in my neck that wouldn't go away and now I thought I had tics so I started to have vocal tics. And as.much as I don't want to admit it I think I'm faking but can't stop them if you know what I mean,like I get prepared to do it but can't stop.it it's weird

[@maty6445]

I wrote another comment on another video of yours but I wanted to write another here, I’m 13 and I have tics since I was 10, it keeps getting worse, here are some of my tics: I sniff while I flip my toes up and down five times in a row, I blink also 5 time in a row especially when I’m in bed and I’m trying to sleep, I say things and words out loud 3 times in a row and pinch my nose just after I sniff, my parents always say something about my tics like: stop, or they make jokes about it, my mom doesn’t want me to take to a psychologist so idk what to do, also I’m very distracted as well my teachers throught the years have always said that I don’t pay attention because I’m distracted and forgetful, I tic every moment when I’m happy, when I’m sad and especially when I’m embarrassed I’ve always thought that these were just common OCD but thanks again for making me understand (also sorry for my bad English, I’m Italian)

[@raejiisa4948]

Stay strong for yourself little one.

[@mohamedzein4412]

I have a question about vedio games and xbox os it affecting tics do it increse it do I stop it completely because he is keep asking about it

[@ocdandanxiety]

Video games tend to be a time where tics happen more. Mainly because the person is in a pretty relaxed state. It tends to happen more when people are bored or over stimulated.

[@mv5649]

Ive hurt my neck very bad befor like two times where i it felt like i snapped some muscle i was on the floor from the pain i had like a side ways twist like a confused dog but as fast as you can do it its absolutely horrible

[@icecold_tea]

My parents don’t really understand my tics and thought it was just something that if I “stopped it” it would go away so when they stopped for a bit over the summer but would come back smaller (I’m assuming because I was much more relaxed being at home) and sometimes in little episodes that could get very bad. But since I tried to keep it away from them because they didn’t understand it they have the idea that it just “went away” even though it’s been going on for over 2 years now ):

[@raejiisa4948]

Can only hide it for so long. There are people who understand and share your symptoms. Just remember that even though you feel alone in this you are not and there are others like you who feel the same.

[@Ldrlvr355]

I have a bunch of tics, I scrunch my eyes closed, I throw my head to the side, I scrunch one of my eyes closed, sometimes I’ll throw my head down while scrunching my eyes closed and sometimes I’ll roll my arm but I rarely ever do that .But I don’t have any vocal tics. I’m just really confused as it’s only be happening for about a week and I don’t really know if I have Tourette’s or not.

[@daiena_rabinovich]

Then I maybe have Tourette’s because I twitch my nose just a little and I say short hmm noises. I started make hmm when I was maybe 13. I have done much worse sounds and sometimes when I’m alone I say bad words

[@epulaa4696]

Hiccup easy to stop....try this its work!!! While hiccup just press the big toe (phalanx bone) Left or right up to you with your thumb and index finger as hard as you can. Or you can use the rubber and tie your big toe for 1/2 minutes 👌

[@ryanbledsoe3028]

I have a motor tics and it started when I was 17

[@mattymobbs5125]

Not sure what my son had. As he blinks fast some times as stated to make a funny sound like her about to laugh. Not sure but I’m worried

[@megamilk9585]

What leads to the particular vocal tick, though? Like, what if someone has never heard the f word? They have to know a language to use it, so what makes that particular word or sound stick?

[@turnip954]

had motor and verbal tics for 5 maybe 6 years which started as a hum and a neck twitch but over the years they become more loud and painful like hitting, my family claims they go away for a bit and come back but they are always there, just quiet or because I try stop them because I dont like people pointing them out... aaaaaa I just- I don't know what to do. and they are hard to deal with some time.

[@archerjackson690]

I have tics that started suddenly in February. I was told I have ‘functional myoclonus’ but they can’t tell me why or what or if it will ever go away. They think they are distractible or I Can suppress them but I can’t and it’s embarrassing and painful. I used to be a carpenter but I can’t use power tools anymore, now all I’m making is minimum wage and I can’t find a place to live. The doctors are treating this like it’s no big deal but it’s making me miserable- sometimes when I can’t stop ticcing at work and people are staring I’m next to tears and I want to go home and give up and stop trying. Idk how to deal with all of this 🤦‍♀️ I feel crazy

[@fileinterrupted1787]

what kind of tic do u do

[@baycal2]

This happened to my son and I believe the covid vaccine has brought them out. I'm reading a lot of people on here say they just started noticing it a year or 2 ago, which is when we were all getting vaccinated.

[@Landrewis4ever-f7d]

I have my tic for years
