-------------------------------
Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition and disability which causes involuntary movements called tics. I use my platforms on social media such as TikTok, CZcams and Instagram to advocate and raise awareness for the condition and show what it is like living with a disability as a teen in school.
My name is Zara Beth (zeezee25 on tiktok) and I post videos about tics, tic disorders and what its like to be a teen living with Tourette's syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and a seizure disorder (NEAD/NES).
I show what its like having tics and Tourettes in class and in school and college, vlog, and I also bake, do other challenges and answer all your questions in Q and A videos.
I am also an ambulatory wheelchair user so I show what life looks like using various mobility aids and how needs change from day to day!
I am also a musician! My newest release is my first single (original song) called "She's Mine" which is now available on all streaming services - I sing and play piano, guitar, ukulele and I write, produce, mix and master all my own songs and content myself!
Good luck people with exams!! They are tough but you'll get through it! I'm in my first year of uni so I'm finished now but I know with gcse and a level you guys are pretty much half way through I think. Good luck!
Hey Zara
I just wanted to say your such an inspiration and an amazing person, never let anyone bring you down ❤
Hi Zara - I was allowed to listen to music in my a level exams due to auditory hallucinations from schizophrenia- I found it invaluable!
As someone with extreme paranoia, that sounds useful at any point in time. Best of luck!
This video was exactly what I needed- I'm coming to the end of my first year at uni and have end of years next week, which I am very stressed for! I started getting stress/anxiety tics during my A-levels and they've returned in full force for these exams too, but I have a better idea now of how to deal with them thanks to amazing people like you who share their experience and advice.
Thank you again and good luck for your exams! You'll do awesomely :)
Also for anyone nervous about asking for help/accommodations for anything, I was also terrified, but know that everyone wants you to do your best and will be very happy to support you!
I don’t even go to school (I’m homeschooled) but I still watched all of this video! I just love getting to know you, and other amazing CZcamsrs! ❤️ I know if I had health struggles like you I wouldn’t be able to stay as cheerful 🥲😍 You are an AMZING person Zara; keep up the awesome work, I hope your exams go well! ❣️❣️❣️
Good luck with exams! You're going to do great do don't worry about it!
Much love!

Omg hi.. You have the same surname as me loll
I'm so glad you managed to get help. I have a number of health problems that affect my learning and exams (not tourettes though), and when I was in high school, they care one bit that I needed help. I was told multiple times that I was making things up. My college at least had a lot more support, but now my uni haven't been great. It's disappointing that some educational facilities don't care about disabilities, unless they are extremely and visually obvious.
Just wanted to say, tip 7 made me realise when I spin round things on my finger, it isn't just autism or ADHD. I told my parents and they said when we next see my pediatrician, they will tell them about my tics (Diagnosed) possibly being Tourrette's. I was always way to scared to ask for about the past month now and I've had Tics since I was 5. My most visible one a few years ago was "wow" but about 2 months ago, I started getting more and more tics, even swearing tics, and it's been getting more frequent. Thank you for making me realise this, it's really helped!
I found this channel like 3 days ago and I am binge watching every video because I find your case very facisnating. I have been wanting to become a doctor since I was 3 but lately I have been loosing the drive to do so (Difficulty to getting into med school etc...). Your case imparticular just reignites the flame, every single time I watch a video of yours. I want to HELP people like YOU get cured or at least treated for the shitty symptoms you guys go through daily. Hopfully one day we will find a cure for these shitty symptoms. Keep these videos coming because you have no idea how much you are helping people with similar symptoms go through day by day. Stay happy and healthy :)
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww so lovely of you to do this video Zara. Good luck to everyone doing their exams. I remember the nerves clearly but it's really not the end of the world if you don't get the results you want or expect, you can still do wonderful things in life. Sending lots of love to you all 💖💖💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️😘😘😘😘♥️💖♥️♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏🙏😘🙏😘😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏🙏😘😘🙏🙏😘😘🙏🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘😘🙏😘🙏🙏😘😘🙏🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖💖🙏😘🙏🙏😘😘🙏🙏😘😘🙏🙏😘🙏😘🙏😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Great video Zara! Brilliant tips. Good luck Zara & everyone else doing exams.
Thanks so much for this video ,Zara.
You are so inspirational and you will smash it.
I am in the process for getting diagnosed with adhd/ autism and lot of these things are ones that sound helpful to me.
Good luck ❤❤
This is SO helpful.
Tysm Zara, ilysm. 😭💛
Thank you for the tips . Sadly my dad doesn’t support that I have tics and adhd and won’t let my get a diagnosis but trying to get one myself
aged 16 plus (in the uk at least) you have your own right to medical care without needing parents involved! it’s confidential from that age upwards :)
Hey Zara! You are so helpful! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video 🥰. I have Tourette’s and I have been diagnosed since I was in Yr8, I am in Yr10 at the moment about to sit my mocks and the pressure has been getting to me the past few month even though it’s a mock exam and not the real thing. This video has been really helpful to me and I just want to say thank you for all your content because when I started with tics, I felt alone and it was your content that helped me and I really appreciate it 🥰. 🍀Good luck in your exams I am sure you will do great 🍀🤞😉☺
Hey Zara! Thanks for the advice!
aaaa i just got diagnosed with tourettes today so i might be able to get extra help (like extra time) when i do my GSCEs soon. ive been in a separate room since last year bc of my tics which is nice
Good luck to everyone who has exams I’m struggling not with tics but with mental health it’s kind of going downhill and I’m not really sure what to do about it but I tried my best in my exams and that’s all I can do
Hi Zara, hope you are doing well - very useful tips on today's video - all the best x
Hey Zara.
Interesting video, and good luck with you're exams👍
hey! this is very helpful, and as an autistic with tics this helps, and i will use some of these for my finals this week!
Hi, exams are so hard with tics it sucks
Thanks so much for making this video! I’m going in for some start of year mocks after the summer holidays and I’ve been super worried about it all. The only thing I think is a issue is that we won’t be able to set up the accommodations before my exams as my mum needs a doctors note and we’re going to the doctors at the end of this year! So I think I’m going to have to work around that hopefully I can get the accommodations
You're amazing !! I don't have tourettes but your voice is very relaxing to listen to and thanks to channels like yours i can learn more about the other forms of neurodivergencies which I don't have.
You make a lot of good points in your vids so thanks for making content
thank you for making this video
good luck!! ☺
Because of my family situation, I haven't been able to get proper accommodations for exams (for either my tics or my other issues) so I'm partially watching this to live vicariously through you but I appreciate some of the other tips, and will keep them in mind for next school year. Thanks for the helpful video
Thank you Zara ❤
I'm sure these points are very helpful to many people who have various diagnoses (or none!). Preparing and thinking about all this beforehand will surely ease stress, and your matter-of-fact approach will also be reassuring.
I just wanted to ask why the video is so jumpy, like it's frequently edited but not cleanly, and not in logical places, which is unusual? Apart from that, this was brilliant and I'm sure very helpful. Another great video!
You are very unique I love you ❤. I have watched you since I was 6 years old wanting to know what tourette syndrome is. You are very brave and an amazing leader to me now I am 10 years older. May God bless you amen ❤😊
thx so much i am convinced i have ticks and this video has been very helpfull
Thanks
Your eyes literally very unique ❤
2 questions Zara. Which are the best companies to work for people with your needs & who would you like to work for?
I have a couple of tests coming up soon and this was really helpful, thank you!
I was wondering if anyone has any advice for talking to parents about tics though? my parents keep telling me to just control them and I don't know how to convince them they're involuntary 😅
Good luck with your exams zara
For anyone, communication is so helpful for ANYTHING! Not understanding the material? Talk to your teacher! Help with homework? Ask parents! They don't know? Ask a tutor! Talk to teacher! Just this is life changing.
Though when you approach a tutor and they seem like they have better things to be doing, or dismissive of what you say/ do/ approach them for, it’s not essentially the best unfortunately :/
Lately I have been having weird body shake and I don’t mean to do it it happens randomly so I was wondering if it could be a tick from turrets syndrome. I haven’t been diagnosed with it but just curious.
Oh my god I’m early ❤️
I think tips 4 thru 7 would help anyone, even those without certain issues, get through exams.
I cried at the end of this video cuz I never feelt so understood 🥹 this is my first college year with tics this bad so I did not have the slightest clue how to deal with them. Thank you so much!❤❤
I have ADHD and i Used the first tip and my teacher undersdands and im glad about it
this took me 30 min. to text cuz my cat is playful
omg this helped so much thank you😁😄

Hi Zara!! I love your content and was wondering when your symptoms of tourettes started showing. Is there a certain age that it started happening with you? I also have a question about your fainting disorder. Did your fainting disorder start out by having dizzy spells randomly and when you stand up? Thank you ❤
i do have orthostatic hypotension so when i stand up, getting dizzy is one of my symptoms 💕
and i was 7 when we first properly noticed my tics and asked the doctor
@@Zara_Beth Thank you!
How do you recommend to track your tic triggers?
Heyy, i have FND so functional tics and I track tic attacks and triggers by literally writing down what I was doing before a tic attack/ was i tired?/ how many hours did I sleep?/ anything I was stressed about, and it’ll help you find a pattern/ triggers to help avoid especially during exam season! Hope that helps a little! 💘💘
Hello Zara, i see in your video's the sunflower from hidden disabilities. Can you do a video about that please? ❤thank you
i will! :)
Hi Zara! Im a big fan ❤❤ and i have tourettes too
I asked my tutors at college to help me get an EHCP but they said I didn't need one to get the help I need but then they have proceded to do nothing to help me.
Hey Zara, Im sorry, I don't know why, but you heard so cute when said "but" with your accent ☺
Vc é lindaaaa!!!BRAZIL🌽🌼🌈
We almost got kicked out of one of our GCSE exams because, during high school (before we knew we had tics/Tourette's), we had a gasping tic and a lot of the guys in our year would copy it- So the invigilator came over and told us off for distracting people 😅
Good luck, honey
Hey Zara
i usually try and bring my water bottle in because it has a straw and having something in my mouth makes it easier to suppress my vocal tics
For me tics make me move my head and arms, and it makes me look like I’m cheating😭
your tics are so cute
Music and fidgeting never helped when I was school. Fidget toys either didn't exist when I was in school or I'd never heard of or seen them. I probably wouldn't have cared to have even one anyways. I had enough fidgeting as it was.
happy Sunday you are the best Zara ❤
Do you ever hallucinate?
You are zara 😮 . I only know Zara Larsson 😅
No disrespect, But ist so funny Just watching you. But it feel like its very stressful having tics or isnt it?
1:36 me having ADHD
I have a separate room because of my Tourette’s, but there is 6 other students in the room…it kinda defeats the purpose 😅
aww im taking your cat if thats okay (im kidding, you dont get a say in this, your cat is mine)
This is helpful but the EHCP isn’t as easy as she is malting it , schools can have there own plans but it’s not an echp as this can take a year and more to get and it’s not you and your teacher doing it you need parents you teachers and professionals. This was a good video
it's with the support staff, as i said :) it was really quick for me and pretty easy with my school, remember every school experience is very different!
@@Zara_Beth yes but an EHCP isn’t as easy as that whatever school you go to you can have care plans which may be what you have but the EHCP may be that and I believe you it’s just that there was defiantly more than what your saying happened
We are back banchar we not study we carry Smart phone in exam hall
Note : do it on your own risk 😜

Jesus loves you zara

So odd you bever show in my recommended.
Gingers rock. So brave of you to be showing with the syndrome you have.
You are looking a little sad in this video. Are you doing okay? You seems to be a lot thinner then one year okay. So I am worrying a little bit about you.
good luck!
Thank you so much for this. I’m in the middle of y10 mocks and I have focal epilepsy. I’ve been really dizzy the past couple of days so I’m having to miss exams and I find it really stressful. This made me feel so much less alone and I’m really grateful I found this because it made me feel so much better 🫶
