if anyone knows a lot about different tic disorders, please let me know about them! i think i have anxiety tics, but when searching for more info, i don’t find much. any knowledge is greatly appreciated!!

thank you so much!!

@zeep No worries 👌🏽

@TechnoRecord (Kani) Hey I am also going through something similar. I have always had like small tics like my head jerking and click sounds with my tongue but they would happen like once a month but recently it’s been happening a lot. I jerk my head more and I even have some grunts, clicking, and snaking my lips together. I have ocd but now I’m not sure what this is

i wouldn’t say i can control them, i can resist them, but i don’t really like doing that because it’s pretty uncomfortable haha- no vocal tics, i only really make noise when i watch a video of someone else’s tics on tiktok who have vocal tics, sometimes i repeat them , and then sometimes i’ll do that noise with my normal tic a few times, but no vocal tic ever really stays. my tics, btw, are scrunching up wu neck and jerking my head towards my left shoulder (that’s my main one). i also kind of scrunch up the right side of my face. another one i have is hitting myself on the top of my head, but that one is much less common, and only really happens when i’m really anxious. the other one just happens whenever, but i assume that they are anxiety induced, not really sure? thank you so much for ur help!

@zeep Yeah, that’s probably not anxiety tics if you can control them to an extent but it feel uncomfortable for you to do so. I get a feeling in my brain when ever I try to stop and it kind of hurts. The only reason why I think its tourettes because I have vocal and physical tics, but you most likely have a tic disorder if you mock others when you see them tic. Sometimes other people tics, trigger my tics. Sometimes when I get excited, I tic. Or sometimes when i’m to bored or relaxed, I tic. Sometimes it doesnt whenever it wants, and I know its possible Tourettes because I swear. You’ll be alright tho. The way to usually get rid of them is to focus on something. You can get tics when your anxious. But I have question, do you a feeling in your brain when you do them? Like it feels like someones pooring liquid on your head but directly on your brain. Or someone is massaging your brain. You get any feelings in your brain?

@TechnoRecord (Kani) It could also be the absense of a feeling, like something isn’t satisfied

@tahls I get that too but thay could be a mixture of ocd and a tic disorder. But you feel that you can control it but it just makes you uncomfortable and you aren’t satisfied, that is mostly a OCD tic.

@TechnoRecord (Kani) Yeah I meant to make that a question not a statement, thanks for interpreting it like such

@tahls Alright. When I get a tic, it feel like something is satisfied if I force myself not do it but it eventually forced me to do it anyway. I suggest you going to a nuerologist, how ever they’re just going to diagnose you and give you medication that doesn’t work. But if you’re curious about what it is, that a neurologist is where you should go

@TechnoRecord (Kani) it’s not that i feel unsatisfied when i resist them , it’s just it takes a lot of energy and it feels wrong when i make myself not do them, idk if that makes sense. it’s not a compulsion or anything, they are pretty involuntary, i just can resist doing them if necessary. i don’t really feel anything on my brain when i do them, someone posted on here that it reminds them of when they watch a scary movie and there is a jump scare, they jump, and i really relate to that. it feels like a jump scare kind of. also, what’s the difference between ocd tics, anxiety tics, and tourette/other tic disorders? i really don’t know very much about them! thank you sm for this tho, your help really means a lot :))

@zeep Oh then its a tic disorder not ocd tic then. Here a link saying the difference https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/tourette/diagnosis.html
