That’s most likely a compulsion people with Tourette’s do it for no reason “because it feels right” or if they don’t they get uncomfortable. There’s usually no thoughts following the spasm Iv been twitching the whole time whilst texting this lol

@Wolfie Yes that’s why people with ocd have so certain rituals it’s a response to their obessions

I do it more because it’s uncomfy if I don’t. Does this mean I have Tourette’s??

Coz for me I perform my twitches constantly throughout the day but when I’m distracted them seem to calm down when I’m anxious they go off and I can’t stop ticing and when I twitch ik I’m going to twitch but in the moment it just occurs and if it’s naturally like breathing butt then I realised that I just ticed

I’m no doctor lol but from my eperience the only way I can explain it is that when you try fighting the tick just a little it’s like when you need to sneaze but you don’t then you feel uncomfortable untill you sneaze then you go back to normal untill you need to do it again do u get me?

Oh I see. I guess for me it’s just so on my mind... that I HAVE to do it. It doesn’t feel right if I don’t. I can withstand from doing it, but it doesn’t feel good.

@Eden :) Visit the doctor if your keen on being diagnosed but for me it’s just in the background there if no urge it’s just let it happens but if your trying to fight it that’s when you get uncomfortable and it never works like if I’m in serious situations and I go don’t do it don’t don’t I end up doing it but slightly and it’s not enough so I do it abruptly

I guess it not the worst thing ever for me. It’s not visible, it’s just a little annoying. But that’s okay!

Yh I have Tourette’s I was prescribed with celepram but it’s not helping I just try to redirect the erge to scream or just be nauseous by constantly having Subtle tics like eye movement or arm twitch so it’s not too noticeable

What are some tics that you perform?

@Abdulmz33 I find I have to flex and unflex specific muscles / joints. It’s mostly my toes, shoulder blades, fingers, knee joins and elbow joints. It’s uncomfortable if I don’t. But if I’m not thinking about it or if I’m distracted, I feel fine. It’s just the second I remember. Does this sound like Tourette’s?

Do you perform theses movements because you believe if you don’t something bad will happen or is it an itch you have to scratch

It’s more like an ‘itch’

So it’s practically uncontrollable move Kent if you can not do it and move on to doing something else then i doubt its Tourette’s

What is this?
Recently ive been getting very scared to even be angry bc of the horrible thoughts I have and it feels even more real when I'm angry or even annoyed. Rn I was not even super annoyed at my neice but I felt a twinge of annoyance since she went up to my face and was yelling at me while I was resting on the bed and I got this image of doing something bad to her and I felt my hand twitch very little. I got nervous and felt relieved when her dad told her to stop screaming for no reason. I've been hyperfocusing on my bodily reactions (mainly my hands or how I'm feeling like did I just enjoy that? Was I considering???) And I've noticed the small twitches whenever I'm mad or annoyed and it's scaring me so bad! Like do I want to act out? Am I holding back??? I used to not even twitch at all when mad and I felt 100% sure I'll never act out but now it feels like I don't know bc what do these twitches mean?, I do know I don't want to ever act out but it's so scary. Recently whenever I feel angry once the argument is over I cry really bad after I'm alone and I pray so i never want or act out. And when the annoyance passes I also feel so guilty and want to stay away. Im scared these are real urges and i research for many many hours to make sure they arent urges or impulses and i also tend to ask chatgpt or here if the anxiety gets so bad 😕

Is this still ocd? Plz answer :(
Recently ive been getting very scared to even be angry (i try to avoid even being angry if i can!) bc of the horrible thoughts I have and it feels even more real when I'm angry or even annoyed. I've been hyperfocusing on my bodily reactions (mainly my hands or how I'm feeling like did I just enjoy that? Was I considering? Did it just move? Why is it tingly? Why did it twitch?) And I've noticed the small twitches whenever I'm mad or annoyed and it's scaring me so bad! Like do I want to act out? Am I holding back? Is this an indication i was about to do something or will in the future? I used to not even twitch at all when mad and I felt 100% sure I'll never act out but now it feels like I don't even know anymore bc of these twitches. Im so afraid! What I do know is I don't want to ever act out (idea is distressing not appealing) but it's so scary like why did i twitch or was i about to act out? Im scared these are real urges and i research for many many hours to make sure they arent real urges or impulses and i also tend to ask ai or here if the anxiety gets so bad. Like how do I know of this is actually a serious concern and I should be very worried???

tics.
i’ve been struggling with tics a lot lately. my doctor and neurologist are still unsure whether it’s a tic disorder like tourette’s, or if it’s myoclonic absence seizures i’m having. i’m getting an EEG done soon, but does anyone else have this or know someone who does??
