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

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

@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
