So many people think TS is just swearing, making weird noises, or flipping people off—and while those things can be part of it, there’s so much more to it than that. People don’t see the pain, the exhaustion, or the way it changes your relationship with your own body. It’s not just “having tics.” It’s living in a body that won’t always listen to you.
Today was… okay. I haven’t had any tic attacks yet (those are severe episodes of non-stop tics), which is a good sign. It’s only 4 p.m. though, and most of mine happen later in the day, so we’ll see. It’s like this weird suspense—you never really get to relax.
On top of TS, I also have social anxiety, depression, ADHD, and ASD. That’s already a lot to carry, and then you throw in the fact that I now have so little control over my movements? That’s too much, man! (Bojack horseman reference.)
I’m only 14, so please keep everything age-appropriate in the comments—but if anyone has questions, please ask them. I actually like answering them—it makes me feel like people care about what I’m going through <3
