for me, my main tic is my neck/head jerking back and to the left, and sometimes my eyes close really hard and i clench my teeth while i do the head jerk haha! also when i’m really anxious i’ll hit myself in the head, which i think started as a kind of compulsion to “knock the thoughts out of my head” but now it’s just a tic. my tics come for like a week or two at a time, and they only really happen at night or when i’m really anxious, or if i think about the fact that i have tics sometimes that triggers them!
yes! i get weird ones in my neck (they kinda look like i’m being possessed LOL), and sometimes full body ones. it’s like somethings scaring me but it’s not
yesss def! for me it really feels like just a weird muscle spasm. it totally feels like when you get scared and u jump, but minus the scared part
I have had tics since childhood, but worse since COVID... What I call OCD tics.... I shake my head to one side - like getting something out of my ear...thinking there is a bug (intrusive thoughts) turn head and touch temples (head near eye)- afraid of going crossed eyed (instrustive thought). Not OCD...might be something else...idk Anxiety one looks like I’m sneezing when I’m sometimes talking about something very distressing. Vocal tic - mouth clicking , usually alone when bored
I’m not alone! 😂 I have ticks too!
Hey guys, ik I’ve posted quite a bit but I need to ask something. Suddenly today, I’ve started having uncontrollable movements and jerks and idk what it is. It could be Tourette’s but idk if it’s my mind playing tricks on me and I haven’t really had anything like this before so I’m not sure what to do. It’s only been today but I’m getting rlly scared. If anyone knows anything plz help
Anyone else also have Tourette’s? How do you differentiate between tics and compulsions? (I’m not looking for reassurance, I genuinely have both disorders)
I have started to develop tics. And they are slowly getting worse. Anyone know how to control them? Or am I going crazy?
