#SensoryProcessingDisorder

Timeline of the onset of symptoms that I experienced and suffered
• 2012: See R-BO/A-BO(on Indonesian in television)
• 2017: Concerned about mental depictions.
• 2018: Tingling head when thinking about tense things and genitals stimulated like orgasm when thinking about sexual things, thoughts must be in accordance with thoughts (not OCD).
• 2019: Starting to make illogical thoughts, Concerned about mental depictions of 3D people in real visuals or mental depictions of real people in 3D/animated visuals (not hallucinating and that makes it difficult for me to play games and watch animated films/cartoons).
• 2021: Concerned about People Wearing Skirts in everyday life
• 2022: Mentioning the year (thousands), people say "ya" in Javanese.
• 2023: People Smoking (this year I received treatment from a psychiatrist and my doctor said that I had severe anxiety (not in accordance with what I experienced and suffered) after receiving treatment my condition got worse! • 2024: Having a problem with people wearing watches on their left/right hand (should they be worn on the left or not emotional reactions and illogical thoughts will appear in my mind/brain.

Symptoms of the condition I suffer from:
• Strong emotional and cognitive reactions to the following (triggers):
1. People Smoking
2. Wearing a skirt in everyday life
3. Saying "ya" (engge) in Javanese
4. People speaking regional languages ​​in Indonesia
5. Seeing R-BO on Television (depending on the language used)
6. Seeing gecko droppings
7. Seeing Women as advertising stars
8. Seeing online advertisements
9. Saying thousands of years in Indonesian
10. Wearing a watch on the right..

• Tingling head when thinking about tense things and genitals are stimulated like orgasm when thinking about sexual things.
• Problematizing visual depictions (not hallucinations) of real people in the 3D visual world or animated 3D people in the real visual world followed by emotional and cognitive reactions.
• Cognitive reactions in the form of illogical thoughts (not schizophrenia, delusions, delusions or psychosis), cognitive distortion.
• Thoughts must be in accordance with certain things otherwise emotional and cognitive reactions will occur (this is not OCD or OCPD disorder) • If faced with things that trigger emotional and cognitive reactions from before then the reaction will not be too much (example: Seeing people smoking in 1991 will not trigger emotional and cognitive reactions as much as in 2024-2025)! (please note: applies to all existing triggers) • Problematizing mental representations • Crying over things like the following: • Dead animals • Lesser known games • People dying • Events (war, disaster, accident) • Thought and cognitive reactions that sometimes repeat themselves in my brain (still not OCD) • If faced with things that are the opposite of the triggers then the emotional cognitive reaction will decrease along with the mind being aware!

• Please note:
1. The symptoms mentioned above are not part of schizophrenia, psychosis, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, multiple personality, autism, Asperger's syndrome or Tourette's syndrome
2. Are the things described above indicative of a rare/lesser known disorder?
3. Triggers that are reacted to by emotional cognitive can be random!

I have consulted with four doctors and they said that what I am suffering from is schizophrenia even though the condition I am suffering from is different from common psychiatric conditions and I have felt it since I was 3-7 years old?

And i'm from Indonesia

Hi, my name is Nashnest. I'm here because our 11 yr old autistic son has recently been diagnosed with Dysautonomia. We want to know more about it and how best to support him along with his other diagnosis of ADHD & Tourette's.

#MightyTogether

Its been a while since ive posted but i thought that i wiuld just answer some of my FAQs that i get :)

1. Does everyone with tourettes swear?
The swearing tics are actually called coprolalia and coprolalia only occurs in about 10-12 percent of people with tourettes syndrome!

2.can people with tourettes control their tics?
Not really. Some of us can supress for a short time but its like breathing. You can hold your breath for a short while but you cant just stop breathing.

3.Do tics ever go away?
Yes, alot of tics, especially the ones that children commonly develop, actually just go away, but tourettes syndrome is a chronic condition (tourettes is a type of disorder that causes tics, you can have tics and not tourettes) and whilst the tics can wax and wane, as well as you can pick up some tics and some will go away, You cant just temporarily have tourettes syndrome.

4.is tourettes rare
Alot of people dont believe me when i say this, but to have tics is quite common, especially in childhood years. But Tourettes Syndrome itself is more common than people think, it is estimated that 1 in 100 people have tourettes syndrome but it just goes commonly undiagnosed.

5. Do you tic in your sleep?
Yes, i do, although this may not be the case for every person with tourettes syndrome

Recently diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, PTSD, Bipolar Depression, Tourette's. I hate me. I've been doing fairly well at staying out of the darkness but today my tics are out of this world, and it is giving me this constant reminder of how not normal I am and how I will never live a normal life. I can never go in public and be comfortable. And when i am uncomfortable, they are worse. So, then I am stuck in these four walls, looking out the window wishing I wasn't trapped. It's a cycle. The worst.

Hi,

I've recently been diagnosed with ADHD, Bipolar Depression, OCD, PTSD, and Tourette syndrome. -I know, I am a walking dumpster fire-

I can tell that both my neurologist and psychiatrist are very unsure how to go about medicating me. I can't take ADHD meds without setting my Tourette in HIGH GEAR, and my bipolar meds work to stabilize my moods and "suppress" my Tourette's, but they don't do anything to help my ADHD which drives me bonkers. I can't focus on anything, and when I do I hyper fixate on one thing for days at a time and everything else is in the shadows and neglected.

I don't honestly know why I am even posting here, maybe I'm looking for something else to hyper fixate on or maybe I'm just looking for someone to relate or give me tips on coping skills. I hate being medicated in general, I'd rather feel intense emotions than nothing at all.

I keep looking for ways to make my tourettes worse, and i keep looking for ways to make my life worse, wondering if anyone knows whats wrong with me? Or can relate?

im constantly watching videos that trigger my tics and i dont know why, its like im addicted to it. I am always not drinking, not eating properly, but on purpose to hurt myself. Does anyone relate?

Hi, im a 14 year old girl who was just diagnosed with tourettes but i have been ticcing for a year now. I experience swearing, yelling tics, rude gestures, but also some very minor, hardly noticeable tics, (blinking, shrugging, breathing)

I wanted to spread awareness for tourettes syndrome but also for its related issues (anxiety, depression, ect.) In this post i wanted to talk about my experience at home with tourettes. I would also like to say, this is myb personal experience. Not everyone with tourettes syndrome will have the same experience.

Before being diagnosed with tourettes i was quite suicidal and depressed, and since i was 9 i had been experiencing social anxiety. I remember thinking to myself, whilst on a vacation to see my family in New York, that i will never see them again because i will for sure kill myself, but i was actually wrong. for some reason, i had an idea in my head that what i was going through was not something that was happening to me, but it was apart of me, and would be forever, because i had been struggling for so long. For anybody out there who is struggling with something similar, you are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you.

But exactly a year ago, after i finnaly was starting to see a future for myself i started twitching my head and making a small kind of sqeak-gasp noise, this continued and i was told that it was unlikely tourettes as it was quite minor and it is actually somewhat common to develop tics, but it just escalated and escalated until around the foru month mark, i developed a tic where i would make an innapropriate gesture (the middle finger).
My mother did not take it well. She didnt fully understand what was going on with me because nobody in her family had ever had tics before and we didnt know what they were until i started experiencing them. Keep in mind that most of the time tourettes has a very slow build up, for me this was all happening quite suddenly.

Around the six month mark I was having incredibly innapropriate tics, (F*** off, f*** you, p** on me, ect.) I was also picking up multiple tics from an influencer named Rachel Chaleff on tiktok, as when i first started having tics i would look at alot of her videos because they made me feel understood. Alot of my tics sound similar to hers because of this, which has led to alot of fake - claiming. It is incredibly hard for me to deal with.

My mother is still getting used to the innapropriate tics, but so far so good, nobody else in my personal life seems to have a problem with it.
My brother always laughs whenever i have a swewaring tic tho. I mean, sometimes i laugh too, but its like… ALL THE TIME!!!!

At home my mom and dad were quite supportive I think my mother, who is incredibly close to me, thinks of it as slightly annoying and actually in my control.

I remember when it was getting quite bad, and i had to be put on antipsychotics to treat the tics, my mom sat me down and begged me if there was anything i could do to make it stop. I carry that really deep in my chest up to this day.

Im sorry for getting all dark and venty about this but i think its important to me that people know that tourettes syndrome is not just making noises and swearing. There is so much to TS that you cannot see.
