Who else /tourettes/ here?
I have the most retarded facial tics. I can go an hour or so in public without giving in, but usually I will have to cover my face and subtly succumb to the urge.
Share yours and how you cope.

same here except i dont really try to hide it. sucks to live with it. even if i start working out and dress well i think i would never ever get a gf because sometimes my facial tics are just terrible

How terrible are we talking? For measure, how long till people realise you a tics, a few moments or a few days?
>>38574709
probably moments. i have never met anyone who told me that somethings wrong with me within the first minute though
speaking of which, are there any reliable ways to reduce tics? my tics get progressively worse and worse as the day goes on because being tired apparently makes my tourettes worse.
>got it from a head injury
>cant outgrow it
>stuck blinking hard as fuck
>making small noises
>rattling my brain about at times
>make clicky noise in my throat somewhere
>cant control anything literally fucking can't control my own worthless shitty body
How do you guys get over the fact you can't control your body? It drives me insane

There isn't really a cure, I've looked into a million different techniques but none of them have a high success rate.
The only one that seems promising is meditation (mindfulness, whatever you wanna call it) but it doesn't solve anything overnight, takes hours of practice.

I smoke ciggs and i just change em to something more subtle but its a nightmare

Nah man that guy is well known he's been on TV plenty of times since he was a child
>>38575088
i can guarantee you that the guy is faking it for attention. stop spreading misinformation, tics like these do not exist(swearing tics LOL)

I concede that they are extremely rare and that the media, through overexposure of these extreme cases, has made us believe that TS = shouting nigger over and over. However, vocal tics do exist and plenty of cases have been documented.
