If you suppress it for an hour, you could build up enough power to transcend this plane of reality

She's charging up her special attack

7:53 someone had a really good question at the very bottom of chat that said "do you tick in your dreams?" That'd be something cool to know, and also a really good question to ask.

half the chat is "are you ok" and the other half is "this is interesting"

I have Tourette's with coprolalia and I don't know about you but when I suppress a vocal tic I can hear it in my head, as if it were a mental tic? And then I start stuttering cause it's distracting. The other day I let out a beautiful "I have a chicken apocalypse in my ass". I think Tourette's is the most beautiful poet of all.

If she suppressed her physical tics she would vibrate so much she would end up vibrating at the speed of sound and launching herself into the 4th dimension

No one: Absolutely nobody: *Anitas chat: Me and my friend did a staring competition for seven minutes in class once. Even the teacher stopped teaching to watch*

The fact that she can keep talking while suppressing vocal tics is amazing. I can hold mine in for pretty long, but I can't move my mouth at all, because every once of me is focused on not ticcing

Anita surpressing her power level

"We can do it for science if you like" Nice pickup line

Has anyone ever thought “hey that girl keeps winking at me I’m gonna go say hi.”?

It sucks that looking at the comments and seeing people being weird and hitting on her

The *“Heeey”* tick reminds me of when you run into someone and you don’t remember their name

So this is how the big bang happened ,on this day anita created a new universe

Tbh it's pretty cringe worthy seeing all of the white knights worrying about her being in pain after she said it's fine 10 times. Like damn, Anita is a big girl. She can handle herself lmao

11:19 when she cant hold it in anymore

If you hold in your tics for an hour, you gain enough speed to enter parallel universes.

One of my younger brothers was recently diagnosed with Tourette’s. He’s nearly 10, and his ticks are mostly just physical/motor ticks, like crackling his knuckles, tilting his head aggressively to each shoulder, hard winking, clapping and yelling. He also has Autism and ADD so, it’s been interesting learning more about it and how it interacts with his already diagnosed things. Your videos are very helpful and interesting, and you are so sweet

If she suppresses it for longer, she’ll finally let her stand out.

I really respect how you were so willing to suppress your tics to show us what it's like. Really interesting and kinda cool to see. Love your attitude in general

I’m pretty lucky in that my tics are purely physical (blinking, eyebrow movements, flexing my muscles etc). Most people don’t even realise I have it until they’re focussed on my face as one happens lmao

6:40 "release the dark side" comment killed me :D

I know she's okay, and she's doing it out of curiosity, and that she's not in pain, but it just makes me feel so uncomfy to see her this uncomfy

you have a really adorable voice!! and your popping sounds are really realistic, it sounds exactly like a little text tone

2:20 the guy in the chat saying "you just look constipated" had me laughing so bad

I can understand the build up in the chest I have ADHD and I get that feeling when I get impulsive

I had a friend that has tourette's and he would act like you when your suppressing yours i wonder if he was suppressing all the time I can't imagine how stressful that would be he would feel so much embarrassment when one of his ticks came out to this was in 6 grade before I moved out of state and his last name was so white I didn't know how to pronounce it so I never remember it I hope he's coping better

Literal Twitch stream.

yeah, had a friend in university once. he had to take his exam alone because the tics is so bad.

Why am I just discovering Anita just now? I love her, she is amazing!

11:32 I love how she said 6 three times in a row. If she lived back in medieval times when people thought Tourettes was caused by demons, they definitely would’ve tried to exorcise her. Actually, after listening to it again, I don’t think that was a tic. She was trying to say 16 but kept getting interrupted by her tics. Still a bit of a funny coincidence.

I thought that at any moment you would go like "FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK!" walls would crack and a big beam of light would go out of your eyes. Glad it wasn't that bad.

gonna be honest i can’t whistle I’m a little jealous when you do that edit: why did this get so popular???? edit: i was practicing the other day and i whistled!

I have some health issues in my chest and had to suppress coughing today while helping customers for about 10 minutes, I think I would have died at 16 minutes O_O Went to the back and nearly collapsed into a coughing fit, my coworkers were all really concerned. You got some strength there Anita, can't even imagine how uncomfortable this must have been if a cough was as bad as mine was.

It almost reminds me of trying to hold back a sneeze. It was hard to watch though, because it so obviously took a lot of physical work. The pops are cute!

@11:18 for the massive, rapid-fire release of Tourette's pressure!

The mental stress of holding in the tics was making physical tics worse

Everyone: **genuinely concerned yet interested** That one guy at 3:04 : “so your boobs get bigger lol” Me: **genuine confusion and loss of hope wave commences*

And the moment you were waiting for: 11:20. Sweet Anita, you are so awesome. So glad you are normalizing tourettes and helping people understand it better. It makes like so much more interesting!

her heeey sounds like ariana grande when she played cat on victorious

*Anita the Battle Angel*

I enjoyed the end where the ticks finally came out and she was smiling the whole time. The twitching, winking, noises and the sailor mouth and somehow she still seems beautiful inside and out. This is an amazing young woman.

Oh wow! That "electrical jolt" feeling you're talking about happens to me once in a blue moon...mostly when I'm almost asleep.

does anyone else feel like her light tick voice when she goes "heyy" sound a lot like Cat from Victorious? its really cute haha

F O R S C I E N C E

Hello, anita, I also have tourette's It's not as severe as your however I can relate to most of what you say, I found your channel a few weeks ago and I've been watching your content, I've never met someone else with tourette's and honestly When I found out about you I felt such a relief, knowing I'm not the only one that goes through the stress of a day to day with tourette. You've also helped me accept it more and feel more comfortable with myself. I thank you so much for Doing what you do and admire you, I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. Anyway, I think you're awesome. Please keep doing what you do, so more people like us know they're not alone.

Much love to you young lady. As a man who has suffered alone with depression most of my life listening to how open you are is a total education to me thanks for being a fantastic human

"GrannysAK47: It's like me trying to supress a fart at a prostate exam lul" LMAO i'm actually dying!!!

If you hold it...and at the point you're about burst...you should get a room (full of sound blockers) and just scream like Goku and tighten up your whole body and turn super saiyan...

I just discovered your channel, and it's honestly become one of my favorites. I have Tourette's, and I've never seen someone like myself in the spotlight so comfortable with who they are, explaining themselves so calmly. It means so much to me to see you so confident in yourself, not caring about your ticks

Watching you try to supress your ticks I could see how hard it was and the sheer concentration and willpower it takes so thankyou for showing us and explaining what it feels like. Edit 16 minutes was a superhuman effort.

Anita you've got the best personality I can imagine. You seem like such a blast to hang with.

This was hard to watch for me because of how uncomfortable she is but it's extremely fascinating

7:07 omg she mentions a heat and I know that feeling!!! for my OCD that heat is my breakpoint. I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows the sensation

*"Vegeta, what does it say about her power level?"*

it's very interesting hearing anita not have any vocal tics, like the hey or any of those extremely common ones

Anita is supressing her chakra STEAL THE NINE TAIL FOXES ANITAA

11:17 is when she stops if anyone is feeling too much pain along side her.

Watching this somehow made me have a twitch, felt like I was suppressing something all of a sudden

how tf do u sleep if u have to keep making popping noises that must be hell.

She was so cute when she stops suppressing it :) So adorable

All the simps in the chat saying: " don't do it if it hurts too much"

Got diagnosed with Tourette a year ago (at age 36) and I'm still working on the accepting and not trying to hold tics in part. I can relate that the motor tics are near impossible to suppress. It's like an itch and you just HAVE to scratch.

11:36 When you're just trying to talk and your Tourette's is like, "Nope. Shut up. You're cancelled."😑😤

If she supressed it long enough she would master Ultra Instinct. For real though I'd be scared about what that would actually do to your brain.

Ow man, that was such an interesting and informative vid. You really looked so uncomfortable and tense, like holding in a sneeze. It was actually lovely to see the release after!! :D awsome!!

It's interesting that one of the tics sounded like a part of you was sighing out in joyful release of freedom. Further study question. What if when you let go you run with it? As in you intentionally let out a barrage of words and movements that your tics would normally present, and when a natural tic takes over you run with it. Eg. When you feel a "fuck" you make it your intention to say it on purpose?

I feel really bad for laughing so hard at this. I'm so sorry

The tiny sound tics are so cute! You're such a sweet person and It's good that you can laugh at your tics and not beat yourself up about them. Don't hurt yourself though!

I love the way you approach your experience objectively, trying to evaluate why you're getting physical symptoms when holding back the tics. You're always an entertaining person to watch, but it's great to learn and understand Tourette's better too. When you say you tic less when you're very focused, it throws me back to playing Starcraft. I used to forget to blink while playing 1v1s because I was so intensely focused. After a match I'd blink and immediately there's tears running down my face and my eyes hurt and I'm wasn't sure why haha. Anyways, it makes me wonder if experiencing tics to someone with Tourette's is like blinking to someone without. Like it happens all the time, and you can be aware of it if necessary, but you're usually not noticing them?

I’ve worked in neuro rehab both with kids and adults, but never with anyone who has ts. This experiment was something I could see being a part of a therapy session, so you can go through the feelings and sensations together and get support if you need it. It looks like you’re a level headed young lady who can do these sorts of things independently, and all the power to you for it. This was very enlightening and if I ever work with anyone who has ts I’ll be sure to never try to restrict their tics consciously or unconsciously, unless it’s for a specific exercise or something similar. An interesting recommendation from the tubes algorithm anyways. As far as the physiology side goes, I’m not an expert on TS by any means but in general the nervous system has mechanisms to excite the system and to calm down the system. I’d imagine trying to hold back like this forces the brain to excite the system, and then it enters the fight-or-flight state even without any external threat. This all happens in the background and the syndrome itself produces these tics, it’s just the stress of holding back that’s causing some of the physical sensations. If we measure a hundred people off the street, it’s not likely that we can find anyone who would report stress reactions quite like the ones you mentioned, the feelings at the tip of the fingers and the heat moving around. If I had to guess, I’d go with them being regular reactions for you that have been normalized through years of motor tics, and that’s why they appear first in a stressful situation like this. A bit like repetition teaching your brain to work in a certain way. It doesn’t really matter what the tic exactly is, since everyone growing up in a similar situation will just learn their own tics and own ways to regulate and handle the stress.

It's so nice to see someone explain what it's like as being someone who has Tourrette's. When I explain this to people , they never understand XD

You are amazing! Thank you for openly talking about your Tourette’s! It’s really helped me understand it more and how it impacts people in their daily life ❤️ thank you so much!

You explained suppression PERFECTLY I've never known how to explain it

Literally only started watching you like an hour ago but your "guess" based on over production of dopamine would explain your ticks slowing down when you're feeling sad/depressed, crazy stuff, keep doing you tho, really enjoyable to watch and very wholesome :)

I have a facial tic & I find similar, if I try to stop it it becomes less pronounced but more frequent (more of a constant quiver). However I've also found if I put pressure on a specific part of my face it all but completely blocks the tic. I've toyed with going to an acupuncturist and asking if they know anything I could do to put consistent pressure on that bit without my hand.

the remixes of her tics are just amazing. I need like a full blown album of these songs .

My last favorite tic is where I have to repeat what I hear but only certain things. It makes for a lot of disagreement with people who think im just mocking them. I started going to the bathroom when I built up my tics long enough to where I couldn't suppress them anymore. But then my manager talked to me about why I was going to the bathroom so much. So now I just tic at work and don't worry about it. Anyway, just thought I'd share that. Thanks for the posts. They make me feel less alone, but also trigger my tics. Lol. Love the channel.

This video explains very much what I was wondering. Thank you. Long ago I worked with a guy who may have had Tourette’s. We never discussed it but there were times when it looked like he was struggling to suppress certain ticks. Such as in a meeting or group environment. He would let out the occasional F bomb. Our boss was very understanding and one of the best people I've ever worked for

I appreciate her doing this, it definitely answered a big question I had

Thank the lords,a new outro has been blessed upon us mere mortals

this is the first video ive ever watxhed by her n i like how shes open to alot disregarding her tourettes. This is a beautiful channel 💘

The ending music is wonderful. This entire video made me feel understanding tourettes more than anything before. Thank you for your openness.

Aite SO Hold your breath.. You can for about 40-60 seconds before it becomes unbearable. When you finally let out a breath you wHeeez breathing in and out deeply for quite a while before you get back to normal breath, right. That's what holding in a tic is like :). In short it's uncomfortable and not worth it.

11:50 she's so pure man I love it

This is definitely the most fascinating I've seen all day.

I love how you’re using this to your advantage and getting something positive out of it.

Even though you say some things that people are not use to your voice is so beautiful I'm sure they don't even care cause I know after listening to you for a bit I jest hypnotized and don't even notice the tics anymore and jest focus on what your saying. Great vid 👍👍

Love your videos anita. you are one of my favorite streamers!!

Subscribed only a moment ago because you're my kind of drinking buddy. I now find myself enjoying you for you and your insights and not for your tourettes. I actually saw the relief on your face as the pressure of the tics came out, it looked almost orgasmic. Stay open, stay sweet and please stay amazing!

It’s weird isn’t it, when you are engaged in conversation you hardly tick but when you discuss it they then build up severely. My heart goes out to you and I am so full of admiration because you are opening yourself up to educate us. Your amazing.

Her power level....it's over 9000....

The entire video is amazing! But 11:18 is where the fun begins :)

i dont know why this was in my suggestions but i 'm glad it was, god bless you for not letting anything hold you back❤️

Oh my God. Watching the first part of this video makes me wanna cough or sneeze seeing you visibly hold in the ticks. Man. More power to you dude.

How to make Terrance livid 101.

i dont know if you read this anita but you are truly amazing and an inspiration... i dont know how you dont lose patience with that but keep being you... i hope get a chance to meet you one day in person like i have with other streamers... you are such a trooper... love your vids and sorry i havent been watching your stream i barely watch anymore anymore so busy... anyways much love from sydney australia

Thx for this vid! You did a great job holdon while explaining!!✌

When I suppress my motor tics, I just start vibrating. Literally just shaking. It looks weirder than my actual tics, so I don’t do it much lmao

Yes, another video.. I always enjoy watching you
