hey all! i developed anxiety tics a couple months ago and was wondering if any of you guys got them too? if so, what are u guys’s like? do they happen a lot, or only sometimes? is there a certain time of day when they get worse? what tics do y’all do? i’m just so curious haha!

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

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!
