My family say things to me all the time about my facial habits and hear my sounds even over the phone. Ive tried to hold it back recently and it honestly feels like im holding my breath. I need help so bad. It's depressing. It's in my face, mouth, voice, i dislocate my shoulder and it pops back into place. I bob my head. It does it worse when im hyped up or worried. People at work think im mad or making faces at them. My face gets so tired it sucks. Some tics have came and went since childhood. I need a teeth guard.

Hey, I don't know if I have tourettes but it is a common diagnosis to my condition according to the web. But unconciously I quietly whine or whimper. I don't know I'm doing it until someone points it out. It's not serious and only really happens when it's quiet or I'm by myself. I don't twitch or express it any other way than the sound. Would you say that the diagnosis is correct? If not do you know what it could be?

If I may ask, have you ever felt like it's better or worse for you that they're worse when you're alone instead of with other people? My tics generally flare up based on my general mood at that time regardless of company. It's usually when I'm feeling some amount of stress or anxiety about or during work and school, and I sometimes wish they happened more when I was in situations that don't demand so much of my attention, makes it harder to focus on redirecting them when I'm engaged with something important. If they happened more during my down time, it might have been easier for me to focus on management techniques.

I have been having tics for almost 20 years (started around 6-7 and now I'm 26). They never went away and kept getting worse in the last years, making it really stressful, both physically and emotionally. They happen a lot when I'm alone, while I manage to contain them almost completely in public. Eyes, nose, jaw, neck, arms, back, vocal tics, often combined together. Plus they go a bit OCD mode sometimes when they mix with misophonia, so it's like, if a repetitive sound doesn't stop, I just keep doing the tic. And of course they feed off stress and anxiety, but even when I'm relaxed I always have something going on.
@Nick-ce6lt 3 жыл бұрын
I'm 32 and the tics just keep getting worse as life gets harder and got it at the same age. I hide it very well too, similar symptoms cept I also get the hands involved. Do you drive? I started driving again after 5 yrs. It doesn't impair my driving and I'll stop if it does but in traffic the tics are a bit much and parking lots are especially bad (and couples with pretty severe road rage which is why I don't drive). As we seem to have similar symptoms just wondering on your thoughts on driving and if you also rage. Thanks
@LL906 3 жыл бұрын
@@Nick-ce6lt I also get the hands involved sometimes, it depends, I don't really know how they work. I think it has to do with what I'm doing and the level of stress/anxiety. Yep, I've been driving for 7 years and I usually have at least a little tic like eye blinking/brows moving or maybe I start tapping on the wheel with my fingers (again, in a kind of OCD mode) or with my foot on the pedals, but it doesn't affect my driving. Probably because I'm in an almost public situation (people can still see me), plus I always try to be focused in order to avoid accidents of all sorts. That brings me to the rage, which I have, repressed rage that I bottle in over time and gets released when I drive, because people drive crazy and apparently bad driving somehow triggers it 😅 but I wouldn't say it's severe, I always try to breathe and relax, since most of the time the bad driver doesn't even notice, so no actual point in bursting out too much 😄

Its weird. I had tics from about age 12 to 14 and after practicing every, well, every second for 2 years, I got them to stop completely. Now a month ago I saw a video of tics, and instantly felt the urge to do some of my old and some new tics. Thankfully I resisted all of them except for one. Now I have to deal with it again... So my advice: Try to pay attention to it, but also try to not look at it as a problem, as that will put more stress on you. And when you notice you dont do them anymore, try to avoid thinking about the existence of this horrible condition.

@@padalox2518 Its not really anything extra, its like holding my breath. I still feel it, but I would just pay more and more attention. Its about will power. I trained hard to make my will power stronger by fasting or changing my diet to a healthier one. I also did some less healthy stuff like trying to stay awake to have more control over my brain, I made it to 4 days or about 100 hours with no sleep at all, well, some micro-sleeps but those are inevitable after 2 days. But I think this disorder is different for everyone and you just might need to find your own way to supress it, but for me the feeling is still there, I just "don't breathe" lol

Hi this video may be a year old but I am so glad I found this. When I was a kid (7 or 8) my parents noticed I had tics but at the time didnt knew what they were. Since work has caused so many problems as I was nearly fired for something I usually do but they didn’t know, the 8 weeks of suspension caused tics to start reappearing. And after awhile I now have to face them every day. I am a support worker and my tics can swear so I took a week off and tested my limits and what situations caused them to happen. I pretty much did most of what you’ve said and still do a few of them to reduce my tics. If I know I’m going to say something that will consist of swearing I force myself to make a humming noise. It’s not a song or anything just letting my tic come out but not saying the words. It works fairly well and it definitely works at work. At first I thought I was putting it on as sometimes I imitate things I see or repeat an action but it’s short term or only happens once. This has been going on since 9 months ago so I know it’s not my body just reenacting as they’ve changed and I’ve adapted. For me the small tics feel like light touching. So a bit tingly but that bad enough for a complex tic. However the biggest tics happen when my SPD (sensory processing disorder) reacts with heat as I really struggle with heat. It feels like sharp needles (lots of them) stabbing into my head. It causes me to swear, hit my head fairly hard and causes me to bend forward at a 90 degree angle all in one motion. It’s something I cannot stop it at the moment but in the future I hope it will be something I can get control of. You’re a legend if you read all of what I’ve wrote as I tend to say too much. Your videos on tics and anxiety has helped a great deal.

I had this therapy in a hospitalized setting when I was 13. A lot of the other patients there at the time had severe OCD. I'm guessing the compulsions in OCD are very similar to the ones in tics. My tourettes was so severe that I could hardly stand up or even hold things. I am now 28 and after years of using these "competing responses" the time it takes for the urge to tic to subside has decreased significantly to the point where I can mostly just brush it off mentally. I think my longest streak without ticcing might have been a year, and if it does happen it's spaced months apart. I hope you enjoy the feeling of control it gives you over your life. I definitely did.

Really appreciate all these comments! I’ve had a twitch (possibly Tourette’s but I haven’t been officially diagnosed) since I was little, probably close to 20 years now give it take and it’s been really hard. I get worried about who’s watching me do it and get embarrassed, I try to avoid certain ticks but something else always pops up. Someone who doesn’t have a tick or Tourette’s really doesn’t get it. I really like this video cause I think the mindfulness is a HUGE part of this. I feel like if the general population just didn’t ask questions or stare, my ticks would be minimized….. I was able to graduate college and have plenty of success regardless but if you’re reading this and you are struggling with the ticks just know that you aren’t: weird, mental, unable to perform, etc… you have just as much capability as anyone else. It’s just a response to urge problem but it doesn’t make you less YOU! Love you all bunches and love that people are opening up here cause it’s definitely not easy having ticks. Preciate this video also, I’m going to try some of these things even tho I know it’s gonna be hard:)

I really want to say I’ve had tics since I was 6 or 7 (28 now) they would randomly happen and change from simply making a noise quietly to whispering my sentences after speaking, blinking aggressively and slightly banging my head forward. I have many more, some that I’ve replaced with others over time and now I notice that I have many small less noticeable tics. For instance I’m always flexing a muscle repeatedly or cracking my fingers or cracking my elbow joint. I’ve gotten very concerned recently since I’ve become hyper aware to them now. I watched this video 24 hours ago and I am amazed on how much control I have now! I took your advice I realized they intensify when I’m stressed or thinking about something. I press my tongue against the roof of my mouth when I feel an urge and I focus on the pressure my tongue is applying and the urges go away. I’m sure I have anxiety and adhd but I’ve never been diagnosed. Thank you so much for this video in a very short 24 hours I’ve lessened my tics down to less then 10%

Something that helped me a long time ago for facial tics was acupuncture. That fixed my last tic. For years. They put pins on my face like whiskers. My wife was diagnosed with Cancer many months ago and my Tic came back. I'm now trying to get rid of it again. I'm 55.

You know what's crazy? I used to have this neck tic when I was maybe like 4 or 5, but it eventually went away completely, BUT THEN like 2/2.5 years ago, when I was 23 years old, IT CAME BACK (probably due to drug abuse, poor sleep, other life stressors). I haven't been able to shake it (although I literally do all the time lol) since it came back and sometimes it's chill while other times it gets bad enough to where I feel like I'm giving myself whiplash, getting a headache afterwards. I still tic, though I'm better at not letting myself go too crazy to the point of getting headaches. Since I've been more mental/physical health conscious overall, I hope that I can eventually overcome this once again cuz it's not only embarrassing but just straight-up uncomfortable.

Great video it's a real help👍, I have had tics since I was young from 8 years it started off as blinking alot or my fingers and toes had to be constantly moving as they felt out of place this got pointed out by my family when I was young the urge can be very unpleasant as i grew older the tics grew with me as now ill twist every body part, twist and crack my neck to the point where my neck feels like it will snap i make grunting or coffing noises im abit weird as I can have no attacks for a day, week or few months then agian I could have 100 or more in a day anyone who has tics understands it takes a massive toll on your body and mental health

The neck move he does at 4:53 is something I do all the time. People really notice that one because I look very paranoid looking around from side to side and for me to have it done “right” all my tics need to cancel out so if I look to the left I need to look to the right too, or I need to do my tic to some kind of rhythmic tune like a nursery rhyme or something. The neck one is a long one to get right and cancel out so it can be pretty noticeable. I’m actually here because someone was taking a video of something and I noticed myself in the background doing the tic and I saw how weird and noticeable it looked.

I have motor tics and i can't stop popping my shoulder and neck. it started almost 2 years ago and no treatment has helped me. It makes things really hard to do so i can't draw because i have to pop my shoulder every 5 seconds, it's hard to focus because i pop my neck every 5 seconds, and it's embarrasing so i don't make a lot of youtube videos with my face anymore and i always have my camera off during school cause it's too embarrasing. It drives me insane and the thing that sucks is, after a matter of time, it starts to be super painful and i can't stop doing it. sometimes it hurts so much that it makes my stomach hurt. It's impossible.

I've had Tourettes since I was about 7 or so. I used to have facial tics, nose wiggling and eye movements but those were embarrassing so eventually I ended up swapping them for stomach flexes which are far less noticeable but they cause me to have headaches almost every day because I don't breathe while I do them and I do them multiple times a day. Both of my brothers have Tourettes as well. It has this far in my life been one of my biggest secrets.

The worst one I ever had was with breathing. Hard to explain but I felt very strong urges to breathe in really hard and then let it out in a series of short exhales with my throat clenched. It hurt so bad and I cried and had panic attacks for weeks because I couldn’t figure out how to make it stop. I went to therapy and the emergency room but everyone looked at me like I was a freak. It’s such a horrible feeling to experience, people staring at you and asking you what’s wrong, wanting to avoid you because you “can’t control yourself”.

I no longer experience the tic I’ve seemed to grown out of it (I’m 23 y/o) but now it’s been replaced with a ‘ear rumbling’ tic where i continuously tense the inside of me ear, it’s pretty much unnoticeable to everyone else however it’s very annoying for myself and can even give me headaches / earaches if i do it too much.

But now that i'm older, i think i have a tic when driving where i feel the need to close my eyes for a couple of seconds (which is super dangerous!!). Still trying to figure out the best competing response for this. Hope you can give me an advice ☹️
