TICS

Please don’t comment any other TICS if they aren’t ones that are listed. I pick them up easily.🖤 When I was younger I used to have these tics where I would shake my head HARD, like it’s almost like my head was trying to do a 360 turn. After years of bullying, distress, etc. They finally dialed down to where now, it’s just a little head shake. Still painful, obvious, and embarrassing. I also have a blinking and eyebrow raise tic. The eyebrow and hard blinking is by FAR the most embarrassing. So many people have said “Why do you blink so violently”, “Why are you always raising you eyebrows”, “Are your eyes trying to fly away?” It’s also very, very, VERY stressful. I recently got a job, and i’m so embarrassed when I tic around people. My other tics include neck popping/twisting, finger popping, gagging, arm twisting, and just other little ones. I wouldn’t wish OCD/tics on anyone.

OCD related to yelling something inappropriate in public? Lately I’ve been having intense OCD and subsequent anxiety that I’m going to say something extremely inappropriate to a stranger when I’m in public, either when I walk past them or drive past them. A lot of times it’s related to horribly intrusive thoughts that make me extremely uncomfortable and anxious. For example I’m afraid I’ll yell something racist, or homophobic, or shame someone based on their looks, or something misogynistic etc. I am none of these things, I’m actively against all of them. But I keep having these intrusive thoughts pop into my head and then I obsess that I will, or already have blurted them out to a stranger or group of strangers. Then I obsess about “well, if I would never say that, but if I had of I would definitely know, I wouldn’t just forget. but what if I did say it and what if I did actually just forget that I said it. Or what if I have Tourette’s syndrome but I just don’t know it and I actually have been blurting these things out?” Gosh it’s exhausting, 15 years of ocd and it seems like there’s no end in sight.

Health concern OCD

Does anyone on here happen to have hyper specific health obsessions? Specifically on rare, incurable diseases. I have one in particular but I literally hate even typing the word out! I’m so sick of my brain being like this!! I was doing great for months and all the sudden it’s back after seeing one tiktok comment that mentioned it.
