I want to thank Mayim so much for being a part of this video! Make sure to check out her channel, because you might see a very handsome blockman over on her channel VERY soon (it's me. i'll be on her channel): czcams.com/video/j6Zto2tHQiI/video.html
I'm 13 but I was diagnosed with Tourette's at around 10. I have trigger words and phrases (when someone says Atlanta I have to say Hot Lanta). I have a type of screeching sound that most people say sounds more like a teapot, and because of this sound my old school teacher told me I need to knock it off and be quiet. This, along with other students following in what she said, had me crying most days. Now I homeschool and am surrounded by very supportive family and friends. We actually think it pretty cool! Thank you for sharing this information with people! Hopefully more people will start to understand that it is uncontrollable and sometimes uncomfortable, but it's nothing for anyone to be ashamed of!
Oh my god. Never tell your trigger words to anybody. I dont suffer from that but I sure as hell would just chant Atlanta if I knew I'd 100% get a response. Just the thought of it is hilarious. Please dont divulge that on the Internet.
@@SweetFacade Yeah, I tend to wear sunglasses out in public. I appreciated your comment because I am able to relate to other people so it doesn't make me feel singled out.
I have Tourette’s syndrome actually but what’s weird is that my Tourette’s only starts acting up when I have too much of a stimulant (like caffeine or sugar) the I was able to find out about it is because when I was in kindergarten my doctor put me on this stuff to help me with my ADD (yes I have ADD too) and for seemingly no reason I started twisting my arms constantly, and the teacher did nothing, it actually took three days before my family actually saw what was happening. Thankfully I was off that medication a day later and my Tourette’s hasn’t acted up since
Smiler Vlogs and Stuff i was put on vyvanse for adhd and that’s when my tics started getting bad. but i can’t go off my meds because they’re the only thing that actually works and helps me function in school. my psychiatrist tried putting me on other medications to counteract the tics, but then they also counteracted the positive affects of the vyvanse so, at the moment, i’m stuck with dealing with tics
MittenOwner I have been similar experiences recently, like temperature gets lower or higher and I like jerk my head back or I move my arms or something randomly
Yes it seems like its linked to dopamine, i got very low level of tics and alot of anxiety, i also slur alot and talk very fast, it all gets worse when i consume caffeine or any dopamine stimulant
I never had Tourette Syndrome but I had a moderate to severe stutter when I was a kid that all the other kids made fun of, but has since improved. No one deserves to be made fun of for something they can't control.
My bff is a bit of a stutterer. She's growing out of it! (She thinks it was caused by medication as a newborn cuz i think she was too small and about to die. Im not sure.)
Mine was induced by anxiety more than anything else. I struggle with anxiety and depression, and have been since I was a little kid, but it doesn't manifest that way anymore. A huge part of it improving was getting really into music and wanting to learn all the lyrics to very complicated rap songs. The more confidence I had in my ability to speak, the less I stuttered. I still have a very mild one, but most people don't notice. I also hear that speech pathologists help with stutters as well, although I never went to one myself. For those of you curious about my age, I'm 20. I still talk about the bullying I had when I was a little kid with my therapist. Stutter is mostly gone, but I have a host of other problems, mainly because of the way I've been treated by others.
Ubnormal doesn't mean wrong They're highlighted differences from the status quo Ubnormal is not good or bad noticing and accepting differences and trying to find out how they occur is a large part of acceptance and helping BTW I'm not trying get at u or anyone else,hopefully(this is a helping hand from someone who doesn't get the joke)
I have a pretty severe case of Tourette’s. Since I can remember, I’ve always had mild chills that’d pop up unexpectedly, but I wasn’t cold or scared or anything. This persisted for a while until I entered high school and I saw things like kicking, biting, falling over, etc. My parents were super confused and, obviously, concerned, so they set up an appointment with a psychiatrist for me. Funnily enough, a week before the appointment, my friends were joking about some character called the “Tourette’s guy” who’d swear at random intervals, but I kinda shrugged it off. Once I had my appointment, the doctor said she suspected I had Tourette’s. It all went down the drain from there. My tics got so bad that I had to be put into online school, which sent me down into a spiral of loneliness and, eventually, depression. I was prescribed tons of meds over the year just to see what would actually work. Some of them made my life a nightmare, like the one that made my anxiety skyrocket or the one that lowered my blood pressure so much that I couldn’t get up at times, and others had little to no effect. I was sent to two mental hospitals, the first of which had some staff that totally disrespected me (e.g. yelling at me for throwing things,) and the second of which was where I was at the pinnacle of depravity. However, that one seemed to get me slightly back on my feet, especially because of the amount of social interaction I had compared to next to none. I returned to regular schooling sophomore year, which still showed some effects of my disorders- I would often have to go home early because of my tics, I was highly unmotivated, I was stressed by the amount of content I missed and had to make up, and I got associated with some bad people. However, I continued to get treatment via therapy and meds, and with the help of supportive family and friends alongside those two things, I saw enormous improvement junior year. I still had to go home from time to time, and I had a pretty bad tic fit that resulted in the people my German class (minus the teacher of course) avoiding me at all costs, but I rekindled old friendships and made new ones and eventually minimized tics. I’m now a senior, and my tics only ever come out when mentioned or when I’m really stressed or anxious. My life may be a bit behind what it could’ve been, but I feel like I’m pretty much back on track, whereas I thought it was hopeless freshman year. I’m happy that I had all the support and resources to get better, but I realized that there must be tons of people out there that haven’t had that. One day I hope that I’ll be able to help those people lower their tics and feel loved and supported. I suck at actually concluding anything, so I’ll leave with a message: Don’t ever give up.
I was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome when I was thirteen, however, I have never had tics before then so the people around me were very confused. A couple of months before I had shown symptoms of Tourettes, I had been watching videos about it and my family thought I was copying them. It was so hard to explain to them that I couldn't help it but no one believed me and there are some family members who don't but as long as some people believe me that's ok. School is terrible, I am being made fun of for something I cannot control and people always tell me to keep still or quiet but I have not told anyone because I don't want them to know. I now have the "great" nicknames of "twitchy" and "seizure girl" (Because apparently when I have multiple tics at once it looks like a seizure according to people at school) Anyways that's my story blehhh.
I am just curious if meditation would be helpful. Based on the comments above if you focus on an activity the tics disappear. Meditation help you to keep your mind focus.
I think I have tourettes syndrom when I was about 9 it started. Few days erlier I got new tick. I started to blink to much and its really anoying becuase I cant really see much. I start to tic more when I read and my mom says ,,Why you reading so slow"
You shouldn't be ashamed to speak about it. People nowdays confess about very unethical things/habits about them, things they can easily control or simply keep'em as private. But still they don't care or acknowledge their rudeness. (I dnt speak english well, hope you understood me)
I have touretts and I get stared a lot in class. Gets really embarrassing. I got a retainer that put pressure on the back of your mouth that stopped it. (Idk how) and there were 2 other hard to explain things. I REALLY HATE THIS! It bothers me sooooo sooooo sooooo much. Luckly it has started to slow down but at times i get the urge to do that faster. I have cried over this too many times it's just terribble.
Please listen to this it would mean a lot. I’ve had a few tic outbursts lately, it happens out of nowhere! Even my parents thought I was joking, they don’t care that I’m always blinking and head flopping. Sometimes when I write poems or draw it seems to calm down, it also doesn’t affect me when I’m extremely calm yet it does act up when I get mad or embarrassed. It depends on what mood I’m in. I hate it when people think I’m just faking and trying to get attention, that’s the total opposite of what I want I’m an introvert I don’t want strangers laughing at me. I do believe I have Tourette’s because I have a few motor tics and a lot of vocal tics, but my parents don’t take me to the doctor to see if I actually have Tourette’s or it’s just a nervous tic.
It doesent seem like you have tourette's. In order to have it, you must have vocal AND motor tics for over a year. These could just be muscle spasms, or a simple tic dissorder. As long as you dont develope any more tics, I dont think its necessary to see a doctor, unless they begin causing unbearable pain.
Snazzyferret they mentioned having both motor and phonic tics. Even though the tics must be present for a year to qualify for a diagnosis, I think it could quite possibly be TS
@@audreydoyle5268 yeah I dont know how I skipped over that unless they edited it or maybe I'm just dumb lol. But yes, you are correct. Reading it now, this is alot like my experience so it could definetly be tourettes. I know a few people who had motor and vocal tics for a while, but eventually one or the other faded out and it turned out to be just a tic disorder. That's usually why I say that could be a solution before they jump to conclusions that they have tourrettes lol.
You can also have tics caused by strep throat. So if you have had that recently you might want to research sydenhams Correa (I dont think I spelled that right) or PANDAS
I'm in the same situation as you but my parents think I'm just joking around even though it happens a lot and I don't wanna tell them because it's embarrassing to suddenly say I might have Tourettes syndrome even though I got my first vocal tic (throat clearing) over 2 years ago from now. Oh and I also got a motor tic 2 years ago which was I had to move my eyebrows up and down my parents didn't think much about those.
As someone with moderate Tourette's that involves copralalia, I wish people knew that I HATE my inappropriate tics. I didn't start having them until two years after I started having tics, and I was so glad that I didn't have it and assumed I never would. It's so stressful because most people overhear me and don't know who I am, so they assume that I'm okay with the words I'm saying. The first time I said the N-word in public- in the lobby of my school no less- was preceded 10 minutes of trying desperately not to, and followed by a small panic attack, even though the friends I was talking with tried to reassure me that they weren't upset with me. I still try not to say it in front of my friends, and I apologise every time, because I feel guilty about it. I'm terrified of something going wrong when I meet people. I also want people to know that as much as I hate copralalia, it's not the worst tic I have. The worst tics I've ever had compel me to punch and slap my own chest, face, and head, or to bite the inside of my mouth really hard. Others compel me to twist my body into painful positions, or to rapidly repeat a movement dozens of times or for several minutes. I've been known to give myself whiplash from jerking my neck so hard. Still others compel me to go completely still. It's not very common anymore, but when I was 14 or 15 it wasn't unusual for me to suddenly have the need to stand or sit completely still with my head tilted all the way back, or even lie on the floor unmoving- unable to even move my mouth to speak. It doesn't sound so bad until you have work you need to get done, or you're walking in public, or you're on the side of the road. Then it's dangerous. Which is why I'm glad I don't have it much. Moderate and severe cases of Tourette's aren't funny. It's not my excuse to say what I want or get out of things. I'm lucky to be doing better now than I was a few years ago, but believe me when I say that at its worst, it was a living nightmare.
Helping Hand I don't think I'd ever go for DBS. It's an invasive procedures that isn't guaranteed to work, and I don't feel my case warrants that. Besides, I haven't really explored many medications, which I'd want to try first. My mom doesn't believe my Tourette's is real, so in order to avoid making her angry, I sort of taught myself the techniques they teach you in CBIT so that I could have more control. Substitution, competing actions, and a few other tricks of my own, like breathing techniques, visualization, and Deep Pressure Therapy. Also, I have a fidget cube that I love. It all works pretty well. I've suppressed all my tics for well over an hour in the past, though at that point I'm really uncomfortable and it's impossible to focus on anything else. The copralalia is still an issue right now, but the tics that cause me actual pain aren't nearly as common as they used to be. Every now and again I might hit myself, but it's kind of just a random thing every couple months or so that doesn't last very long. The ones where I go still barely happen at all. I've had maybe one or two in the past 6 months. It's nice to find people who get it.
I went into a Noodles & Company for dinner tonight and I saw a guy who would randomly make noises or movements often. I had no knowledge of Tourette's syndrome until about an hour ago. Pretty sure he had it. What a coincidence.
my triggers: -thinking about mental health, specifically adhd or tourrettes. -being extremely cold -being happy -being excited -having energy (i don't have tourette's, just tics)
thought I was the only one when I think about mental health then it triggers! also watching movies is hard for me because my vocal tics are making random noises, or saying the actions they are doing throughout the movie (idk why it does that but it is weird lol) kinda funny and I keep saying “interesting” in a high pitched voice lol
My nephew started having lots of verbal tics when he was 7-8 yrs old. It was really bad. He would yell swear words during class and at home at his parents. He spent a week at my house during the summer since his parents were busy and needed a break. Looking back on it I was a really bad aunt. He'd yell swear words or just make loud vocalizations repeatedly, and though I knew he didn't do it on purpose, it got too much for me to handle. I started to scold him and I feel so bad for it now. One occasion he was looking out an open window and started yelling profanity at our neighbors. I was so angry I pushed him aside and scolded him. I feel terrible about it now :( He's 16 yrs old now and has grown out of his verbal outbursts. He still has tics but its very minor now compared to when he was 7-8 yrs old.
bittermelonleaf you are a terrible aunt and a terrible person for not trying to help him, i will not empathize for you... You are selfish and fucking stupid.. till this day you're stupid and a horrible, disgusting human being.. i hope you realize that
WHY TF THIS POOR EXCUSE OF LIFE HAS 30 LIKES?? what if she did that to your child if he/she had tourettes? THEN WHAT? you still goin to forgive her? SMH
Yes, I was a terrible person. I agree wholeheartedly. I rather forget those days. And yes, we did get him help. There aren't many specialists in our area that deals with Tourette but we did manage to get on a 4 month waitlist to see someone for it. They pretty much just said "We'll wait to see if he grows out of it" and he did for the most part. It's easier said than done, dealing with a loved one who has Tourettes. Very easy to get frustrated and overwhelmed, even if you think of yourself as a patient person. Its not as easy as one would think. I can empathize with families who have a hard time dealing with Tourette since I have dealt with it myself.
Teanna Hairston oh my god, calm down. Just because she got overwhelmed, which is incredibly easy to do, that doesn’t make her a bad person. She’s realized her mistakes and she even admitted to those mistakes in her original comment. You shouldn’t be so quick to judge, as your comment is extremely hypocritical and selfish.
Teanna Hairston Have you ever met someone who has tourettes? Because I have, and I’ll tell you, it’s extremely difficult to deal with, more than you could ever know. How would you feel if your nephew started spitting out uncontrollable curse words? It’s not nearly as simple as you’re making it out to be.
I have Tourette’s. It's not that bad though. When I'm extremely focused on something, like reading or drawing, I don't do tics. But when I see other people doing tics, I begin to feel anxious and embarrassed. Sometimes it hurts, because a body part moves so much, it begins to ache.
Goat Shenanigans true! once, I threw my head on to the ground and twisted my neck. it hurt so badddddd. another time I hit my dog and I cried. it’s not fun
I have Tourette syndrome. If I have not exercised hard enough for a long time my tics are allot worse. The shoulder shrugging en vocal tics are honestly minor things. Tourette syndrome affects personality in a huge way especially when people don't accept you. And for someone like myself with the syndrome to feel like we are just good enough to be thrown into the dumpster are really painful. Normally I see how girls really like me allot, but once I start opening up my syndrome starts to affect my personality and I very quickly see how they don't accept me. Best way to describe it is the tics are like itches. If you don't scratch the itch it will keep on itching till you scratch it and when you do scratch it, it gives relief. The same happens for me in me in my personality when it comes to liking or loving someone. I keep on feeling like I need to get the affection and very soon it gives the impression that I am needy or clingy. Only a person having tourette syndrome can fully understand the struggles.
It's like you have to sneeze, huh!? It's that itch that is welling up and you can't move on until you tic. I hear ya though, stay up on top an ride the lightning.
Actually I CAN control it, but it stresses me out, like the need to scratch a bug bite, so I let it out anyways. It is really an inconvenience, because I'm able to kind of move my ears up and down which makes my Bluetooth headphone keep almost slipping out when I do my tics.
I have Tourette’s and I’ve been bullied by I have complex Tourette’s and it’s the worse in 7th 8th grade and in high school it gets better once over high school your tics are very rare
I haven’t been diagnosed with tourette syndrome yet, but I had tics for years now. My common tics are head jerking, facial movements (Only if I am not occupied with something and in a distress state), and eye rolling. It does not repeat itself continuously for an exaggerated amount of time and I can manage to control the urge of having tics. I’m 21 and I’m just worried by the fact that it can get worse (Please, I hope not). The only thing that helps me right now is relaxing myself and not putting too much bad stress into my mind. I didn’t have to worry about my tics whenever I’m at school mainly because I am preoccupied with a lot of things and my brain is focusing on all sort of school stuff, but since we are on an epidemic, school has been cancelled that is why I think I am noticing my tics more. I am practicing myself to be in control. I guess if I let it be then it can get worse. I hope to those people similar to my experience, we can all get through this with a positive mind and heart. Always look forward to happiness and positivity. 😌💕
I am 17 years old, and my Tourette Syndrome was a thing that was diagnosed back in 2017, but really took off during the fall of 2019. Some of my first tics were a grunting noise and shoulder shrugging. I've had 2 that have been harmful to me since I've been diagnosed. One was where I would breath in and out very rapidly, as if hyperventilating, and the other one was where I would jab my elbow backwards very hard, and it started to pull on my muscles in my shoulder, which, if they were broken, would be almost impossible to repair. Luckily, I didn't care about what people thought about me, and it would of been fine, but that's where my anxiety comes in. I tell you, Tourette Syndrome and Anxiety are super effective in making you fear everything to the point you don't want to be near anyone for as long as you can. My anxiety told me that everyone was watching me, and I was constantly out of class to escape. The anxiety made me worried, which made me tic more, which then made me worry even more, and when you add Depression and ADHD along with the fact that I barely slept because of my insomnia, it was a vicious cycle that I never could see myself escaping. Thankfully, I had parents that were there to support me, as well as people at school. Other than my tourette syndrome, I was a fairly quiet kid that just did what they were told and didn't argue, and I was generally liked by my teachers. Today, I only have three tics that happen often, all of which have no preemptive feelings to, so they can not be treated. Luckily, none of them are harmful. That's my story with Tourette Syndrome, and although this video is almost 3 years old now, I just thought that now would be as good of a time as ever to tell about it, since I don't think that this is something that will go away with time, and may be something I have while being an adult.
1. I want to say thank you for covering Tourette syndrome it really means a lot to me 2. I feel like it should have been impotent to mention that Tourette syndrome is categorize by 2 or more motor and 1 or more vocal tics. If you only have motor then it could be chronic motor tic disorder, and vice versa with vocal. Another important thing to mention is that some people with tourette's have Echophilia (I could have spelt that wrong sorry) that causes people to repeat and copy other people. 3. This ep really means a lot to me due to lack of people talking about Tourette syndrome. It can be hard doing things and going places with Tourette and a lot of times I find its easier if more awareness is spread. There are days were I hate being out in public because I yell random things like 'No No No! Fish!' 'No zucchini for Beethoven' and other strange things while my head jerks or another motor tic has it's way. I often get my vocal tics compare to the sound of a dog if they aren't words and my motor tics can leave me unable to walk because my legs will start kicking or give out on me. (I'm normally on meds so for most parts I can get around my day with people noticing I have Tourette's but every now and again I still have bad tic days)it also sucks that every time at the beginning of a school year I had to explain I have Tourette syndrome. Having more awareness and clearing up negative stigma would allow me not to have to worry about trying to explain to every new person I met 'hey I have Tourette.' So again thank you for spreading a bit more awareness.
_________ we can say full sentences and even small chapters of books. Some tics are even noises like whistling that a person might not know how to do but their tourette's can. However they are some people whom only say one word (like the one guy who only yells stop) and only make small noises
These comments make me smile, knowing how many others also deal with some form of this is comforting. I'm 27 and have been dealing with simple tics since i was 5 years old (long time). Have never been diagnosed. First it was tensing my neck and tilting my head up. Then it was scrunching my nose. Then it became blinking excessively. Now it's a relentless twitching in my left eye, accompanied by opening and closing my throat. All of these lasted years before morphing into something else. Some years better than others. There was a time when I felt I had finally gotten rid of them. Still dealing with it. For anyone out there who's young and still figuring this out, self medicating does NOT work. Don't try to doctor it yourself. Reach out and ask for help/support.
I have torette syndrum to do lots of things. Like bite the side of my mouth, scream, bang my knees together, touch stuff, and stick my tounge out like a snake. I told my school and i fit in with everyone else. If anyone else has torrete syndrum, i feel ya.
I have Tourettes, but I know a lot of people have it worse. For me, I only get ticks in my head/face. I used to have a painful tic where I turn my head really fast. I get a lot of vocal tics and those are slightly harder to control. The last kind of tic I get is in my throat (since tourettes can literally be the uncontrollable movement of ANY muscle) and that tic I have I don't know how, but it causes my sinuses to drain and it's really annoying bc it makes my throat burn and then I drink like 2-3 gallons of water a day. In my case, it is fairly manageble compared to other cases and I'm thankful for that, I also want to say that each tic isn't controllable at all. Tic's aren't like "tremurs" (IDK if I'm pronouncing that right but that thing people have with parkinson's disease) It's more like if someone threw a baseball at your face, your gonna move whether you want to or not.
I also have it. My vocal tics mainly arise when I'm alone and I have a lot of wrist, finger, shoulder, and neck ones that I can make less severe but overall they still happen. Suppressing them hurts pretty bad because of my joints and muscles and mental stuff but it's become a habit...which I'm not too upset about hahaha being good at suppressing is definitely not a bad thing but sometimes I wish I could just relax
I used to have Tourette Syndrome for over 13 years. I consider myself to be extremely lucky, because all my symptoms did eventually disappear. Something that still frustrates me to this day, is that most people only associate Tourette Syndrome with people who are uncontrollably swearing. I had self-harming tics, that made me bite small flesh chunks out of my lips, which was really painful. Most people started to see me as a cripple, once I told them, that I have Tourette Syndrome. Telling people about my disease never helped me, it only made things worse for me. Most kids in my school laughed about my tics, which destroyed my self-esteem and my self-respect. I began to see myself as "not normal“ and started to isolate myself from society, which made school life even more tough for me. Even though I don‘t have Tourette symptoms anymore, I still struggle to rebuild my life. After all these years of being bullied and mistreated, I find it extremely difficult to meet new people, because I don‘t feel comfortable around people anymore.
I developed Tourettes Syndrome when I was 7. I had been perscribed Ritalin, but when I took it I ended up suffering a seizure, and I've had tics since then. I'm 28 now, and I manage them by no TV (been 7 and 1/2 years since I've watched anything-I listen to youtube videos instead), I keep gluten and corn out of my diet, I watch my sugar intake, and I also manage my C-PTSD symptoms as well.
Thomas Barnhart yes and no. I have simple so it’s not bad but it acts up sometimes but I can control it a tad bit. I am lucky cause most can’t control it.
I have Tourette’s and i was diagnosed when i was 6. Early Elementary was stress full from people always asking about why do i keep making sounds or randomly moving so much. I just explained to them what was wrong and helped them understand I’m just the same as anyone else. I am 20 now and i still take medication to help control my tics. I can say for sure though since i was a child my symptoms have improved massively. I can now feel when i want to move and hold it back for the most part. Without my medicine I have mostly head jerking. Sometimes i bark but hey it’s not all that bad. I have had a supportive and caring family throughout my life and I’m glad they helped me through any stress and depression from being bullied growing up.
I was diagnosed with Tourette's at seven years old and been dealing with it since then. My tics were simple things like eye and hand movements at the time, but have developed into complex movements involving arms, legs, neck, and torso. I am a part of the rare group where I won't grow out of it and have tried all the possible medications. Because of that, I am left with the implanting of a brain device for a chance at normalcy.

If you see anyone with Tourette's, or any other disorder they can't help for the matter, make them feel loved and invited in this world and make sure they know that it's not their fault and that they are a beautiful, unique individual that will bring great gifts to this complex but beautiful world.
After watching this video, I talked to my mom about this and we went to doctor. Turns out I have Tourettes syndrome. Thank you so much for this video, if I hadn't seen it we would most probably still be unavare of my state. 😊❤️❤️❤️
Tics come and go, I have tourettes, one is when I make a goat sound and another is when i stiff up my body, they happen when the brain is excited or entertained ex. When you play video games you are entertained because its fun. Tics also happen when you are stressed or mad. I am 11 and I just wanted to give a Explanation on tourettes and why thay happen. Reply if you have something to say
Staying calm or being distracted can help so try something calm like minecraft peaceful mode it won’t be too exciting but you know being distracted can sometimes help
I have that, and my most common one is rolling my eyes, but I do it so much that it hurts so badly... When I was in 7th grade I kept rubbing my eyes because it hurt so much... I have a few other ones as well but that's my most common one. I often have people mock me and make me feel worse because of it. I get bullied for it. It's really hard... They usually come out more when I'm stressed out about something. It's a really bad urge to do something that I can't control. If I do try to control it, it only gets worse. It's REALLY annoying.
I was recently diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome last month, and ADHD when I was 9 it is super exhausting, I’d love it if more people understood my conditions, my tics are really tough at times, and not many people understand Tourette’s Syndrome, thank you for making this video! Much love sent 💕💕
There's this movie that came out lile 20 days ago called Hichki its an indian movie which shows a teacher who has tourettes and i watched it yesterday n today tis video came out what a conincident
I think i have tourette syndrome and im pretty Comfortable with sharing it (im sure nobody cares tho xd) it hasnt affected me much more than in night, cuz before i sleep i get the strong urges to move my shoudler or move my legs and thats mostly the reason why i get to sleep 2hours after im laying in bed lol, but other than that there is nothing else that i have, im only 10 tho so it might get worse as the years go on, my mom thought that i had some kind of mental sickness or something severe, but thanks to the wonderful place of life noggin i proved her wrong, this has been going on since i was 8 years old btw (HA I TOLD U MOM!, um sorry xd)
Casinova Fashionova Did you see in the video? maybe "Tourette variations" means something, would you help me define what that means? maybe that not all tourettes are the same probably)
Neoxus, WhoYouCanTrustToGiveQualityJojoreferences Can you help me define what “I didn’t @ you mean” probably means I didn’t @ you don’t don’t @ me. Thanks
Hi all. I was diagnosed with TS back in '91 when things (at least in my area) were poorly understood. I have seen a lot of change in the general acceptance of TS over the years and hopefully it will continue to become less of an isolating factor. It's a challenge, no simple way around the fact. I do know that it made me who I am today through trial by fire, and I'm not all the way sure I'd take it back. For those currently dealing with the disorder, either personally or surrounding a loved one, take care and let the patience build over time for all the ups and downs that come with it. It's been 30 years so far for me, and I work alongside it daily, but having people to talk to about it sure does help. Wishing you all the the best. I know it's hard for everybody (including the support crew). Take care and let it teach you a thing or two over time. kind regards
Tourettes made my early and pre teen years hell, ticks were crappy and the surrounding conditions that came with it made it very hard to fit in. But as I've gotten older its faded and I feel like I'm better for it, I've learnt to be more sympathetic to those with disabilities and also it has Inca roundabout way given me a very positive outlook on life
I was diagnosed with Tourettes at about 12 years old and I found that people around me being informed was a huge deal. I had both motoric and vocal tics (No words, mainly noises like chirping, growling, etc) but no-one knew why it was happening, myself included so I was an easy target for bullying since I was the weird kid. But once i got my diagnosis, my mother signed us up with the Norwegian Tourettes union (Not sure if that's the correct term) and they sent us information brochures and such to be handed out to teachers, etc. Once the people around me became aware of why I was doing the things I was doing, the bullying pretty much stopped. If any parents of a kid with Tourettes reads this comment, get the people around your kid informed. It will make your kid's life so much easier. And if you have a union for it in your country like we do here, sign up. When I was about 16 they arranged a weekend for teens with Tourettes and if you don't know anyone around you who has Tourettes, it's a huge deal for a kid to be able to go and meet other people with the same condition.
honestly i've noticed lately that when ever i get really mad or i cry to much i will have this one tic that will make me like shiver but like its not a shiver its like different but ill also like shake my head and close my eyes really fast but it only happens when im mad or have been crying to much and idk what it is...
When I was around 9 years old I had this. I could never stop nodding, poking my tongue out and making ahh noises. It has stopped over the years and I am getting way better and it is quite rare for me to still do this. I am 14 now but what I Think made it better is that I all ways tried to hide it so no one really noticed and that did work.
Ask your parents if you had it before being 9 ? Starting to think vaccines caused it , because I never had it as a young child till Dr injected me with them
I’m 25 and was diagnosed when I was 12. I grew up my whole life with tics not knowing what they were. My parents constantly yelled at me to stop and I was bullied throughout K-12 grades. As an adult when people question my tics i just explain myself. I get tired of the weird stares.
I also have tourretes syndrome, not as much on the severe side as a lot of people but still decently prominent with less distinguishable tics like rapid coughing and blinking. It’s also good that I’m going to an arts high school because no one really notices my tics or knows I have tourretes except for my friends. The thing is in general the more extreme parts of the spectrum is often shown in media and that’s why I’m glad people are talking more about it like in this video. Good on ya
Febin ibrahim no, not because he can't, but because he sucks so much that even his animator knows that he does not deserve to talk or even have a voice
Aww, sweet! I'm so glad they made this video because I myself have tourettes and it's been the cause of bullying and teasing. My friends have gotten so used to my tics that they actually like it and I'm glad they accept that part of me. Although I like to let people know I have tourettes, I don't let it define me :)
I am a 19 year old male. I’ve had Tourette’s since I was in kindergarten. Please be wary of the articles saying that it usually disappears by age 18. I am pretty sure I’ll have mine for the rest of my life. If you know somebody with tourette’s, the BEST thing you can do for them is tell them it’s okay to do their tics around you and your family. I go too far just to avoid doing my tics because I never did my tics around my girlfriend’s family, but now it has been three years and my tics are worse than before. It would seem weird to just start doing it in front of them.
I dont have Tourettes,but i do have different kinds of tics,but im still a confident person who has friends who understand.Please dont bully people with disabilities,as one word could completely crush someones life.😢
I used to have a friends that have a tourette syndrom back in high school he keeps touching his arms and his chin and i used to think it was kind of funny but i finally learns what tourette syndrom was.
I'm fine if people laugh at my tics, as long as they're not making fun of me. I mean, it's gonna be pretty hard to not laugh when I just blurt out, UGLY BABY!
I have tics! And my tics are complex, my doctor said the thing about tics is it is very embarrassing so just make sure to not laugh at them, it’s something we can’t control :)
My little brother has Tourette’s, and I have misophonia, so it’s pretty rocky. I’m trying to be more aware of what he can and can’t control, and to try to understand him more. Thanks for the video!
You should do a video like this about ADHD, I have it and a lot of people make fun of me or tell me it's not an excuse for not being able to sit still. That's like telling someone with dyslexia that it isn't an excuse for having trouble reading.
I can kind of relate, but don't worry! There is a video on ADHD! I hope you've found it by now. Although I wish Life Noggin made a video on dyslexia. Thanks for sharing!
I’m 100% sure I have Tourette’s, but haven’t even talked to my doctor about it. I’ve had it since I was 11 and I’m 19 now. It only gotten worse and I didn’t realize i actually had it until a few months ago. Every day and several times a day I go through sporadic bursts of blinking hard and tilting my head, sniffing, clearing my throat, making low vocal bellows with my throat, sometimes to a specific number of times or to a preferred tone , and I constantly crack my knuckles back and neck every chance I get, I also have to whistle and when I’m trying to talk if I forget what I’m saying I have to do a lot of these tics before I gain my memory back of what I was even trying to say
I have Tourette's Syndrome. Something that most people don't know is that motor (physical) ticing will injure you over time. Clenching your teeth, for example, will result in your teeth ending up become flat. If you have a tic where you pop a joint out of its position, such as your shoulder, it could require surgery after years of doing that tic.
I have this syndrome, and it have me a bit of a depression, as said in the video. Luckily, my friends are very supportive, so you shouldn't worry about that.
well, i haven't been officially "diagnosed" with tourettes, but it is very obvious that i have a tic disorder. people think that i am just playing or im having a seizure, which is not the case at all. my tics are a wheeze, slapping my chest, and a harsh body jerk (especially when im cold). i find them unique, but they do make me worried on dates and crap like that.
Hi my names Madison and I have the rare disease called Tourette’s citrom I was diagnosed with Tourette’s when I was about 6/7 now I am 11 soon to be 12 and right now soon it’s going to be the first day at a new school for me and I have this one tic where I hold all of my muscles and this one is really painful most times :( and I used to have this one where me and my family call: “the squeaker” it’s where I make this screaming/ squeaking noise. And I’m kinda scared to go to school because I don’t know if the other kids are going to make fun of me for it or not….sometimes in the past when my tics would come out all the other kids would say: “what are you doing?”or “can you stop it’s weird” and I would say “o-oh it’s just my Tourette’s/tics” and soon they would say: “what even is Tourette’s?”or “what are tics?” And…..I would always say: “I don’t know”……and most times when it’s night and I’m at home I start to think about my Tourette’s and……it gives me an tiny….anxiety attack…but soon my cat Marley 🐈⬛ would come up to me as I’m crying and soon……I feel better ❤️🩹 and most times when I’m with her or my two other pets I feel……connected ❤️ kind of like…our souls are connected in a way…..and now I mostly have tics like: shaking my foot, sniffling a lot, or holding all my muscles……most of my life I’ve wondered: “why?….why was i born this way?” But sometimes to help with my tics I draw or sing! ❤️ 🎶 🖌 and my fav singer is Billie Eilish ❤️ me seeing how for that she got to where she is it…maid me feel…..stronger and to help Control my tics I have to take a pill in the morning and in the Afternoon Anyways that’s my story bye ✌️
I'm 13 and THINK I have it. Ill find out next month. My tics constantly throughout the day make me say random words, screech with that, and its like a holding in a sneeze feeling.
I have Tourrette Syndrome. For those who don’t know why we do it, let me try and explain it in a way. Do you feel like you have an urge to scratch an itchy area? Yeah thats what we feel! I have both vocal and motor tics. So its like, I have the urge to grunt or i have the urge to shrug my shoulders. Its actually something that makes me look like an idiot or a clown. So I often try and stop myself from doing the tics. I try so hard but I just can’t stop it! Okay so. Try and not blink for 1 hour. Do you have the urge to blink? Yeah. Its something that us,the people who are diagnosed with tourrettes, have. So. My only thing to say is, if u have tourrette syndrome and u dont wanna be embarrased, dont force yourself to not do the tic. If people start telling you to stop it because its annoying, tell them “do you have a strong urge to scratch an itchy area? Yeah! You Do! I have tourrette syndrome. It something that makes me have the urge to do or say something weird. It’s something that I have to deal with okay! I always get comments like what you said to me. You may not know how it feels like. Just know that me and other people with tourrette syndrome have to go through this our entire lives,” Anyways I’m Just 12 Years Old. Hopefully people without tourrette syndrome who are reading this will know what we have to go through. So please try and understand that some of us have tourrettes. Don’t judge us without knowing that we have tourrettes. -written by a 12 year old who has tourrette syndrome and shes ugly.
I got Tourette's in the fourth grade so I was around 7 1/2 and 8 and at the time I thought it was normal since my tics were so rare. When I entered high school they started showing up more often and when I started sec 3 (or 9th grade) they got so bad to the point where I developed 5 new tics. The reason for this is because when I started high school I started getting a lot of panic attacks and was very anxious all the time. My mother and I talked to our doctor and referred us to a psychologist who said I has severe generalized anxiety and severe social anxiety, PTSD and 1 or 2 more that he couldn't quite pin down. So when my tics started to increase in severity I looked up why I kept twitching and most of the results I got were that I suffered from substance abuse or had too much caffeine but yk I'm 14 and have never had any of those problems. I never mentioned this before to my family because they don't really believe in mental illness and always told me that it was all in my head and the fact that my anxiety subconsciously held back all the tics I had in public and I basically exploded when I was alone. And for those who may be wondering my motor tics consist of: head, shoulder, hands, arms, back and neck twitching that can happen by themselves, with one another or all at the same time. I also get face pulling and I scrunch my nose or lift my lip. I only have 1 vocal tic and its a brrrrraaaaaaauuhh sounds while I twitch but it doesn't happen very often. Thanks for reading
I have the feeling i have Tourette syndrome and i’m comfortable sharing it, so here goes. From second grade there was this friend of mine (very good one) that seemed to jerk his head from left to right to get his neck to snap. I thought : “Huh, that’s strange... but interesting. There must be an explanation for this.” So, i tried it too and now i do it more than he does because it just feels right. It has also stayed with me for more than a year now since i’m in third grade. My story makes me believe that Tourette syndrome (if i have it) could also occur from outside influences like friends and family. Hello lovely people that read my story to the end and bye! (p.s. i wouldn’t try to do this just in case you get the same thing as me)
Good point.. But the person never asked that question and it seems like you're just copying and pasting the same thing to ever comment without actually reading it and seeing if you have a suggestion/answer to help that person. ((sorry if that doesn't make sense, i'm not the best with words.
I have tourrete syndrome and I didn't really start to notice it until I was in the third grade. I never really got bullied but every once in a wile people would yell at me to stop. They didn't understand what I was doing. I would explain what was happening to them then they would understand. This video helped me understand more about my tourrete syndrome. Thank you.
I’ve had a few tics for a long time, but I learned how to control them when I need to. They sometimes come out of nowhere in “fits” so to speak. I pop my ears and sniff repeatedly. I clear my throat constantly. When I was younger, I would stretch my mouth really wide, then stretch my nose and touch my upper lip to my nose. All of this happens without me even realizing that I’m doing it until either someone points it out or I notice people giving me weird looks.
Hey blocko. Thank you so much for making this! Im a kid who also has Tourette syndrome and I really wanted someone to explain what it was to me. Thank u!
I have Tourette’s, it made me feel bad as a younger kid cuz i felt so different from everyone else but now I’m pretty comfortable with it and i found music is one way for me to temporarily stop my tics, I hope they find a way of preventing or curing so future kids don’t have to deal with it as well
i get a form of simple tics due to my autism. such as random head jerking or a shoulder shrug. and sometimes i get both at the same time. it happens at least 10x a day, and at most, 50x a day.
Thanks! It’s hard when you haven’t met someone with Tourette’s and see extreme ones online you don’t want to be harmful and assume it’s fake just because it looks so different so thanks for the education!
I want to thank Mayim so much for being a part of this video! Make sure to check out her channel, because you might see a very handsome blockman over on her channel VERY soon (it's me. i'll be on her channel): czcams.com/video/j6Zto2tHQiI/video.html

I'm 13 but I was diagnosed with Tourette's at around 10.
I have trigger words and phrases (when someone says Atlanta I have to say Hot Lanta). I have a type of screeching sound that most people say sounds more like a teapot, and because of this sound my old school teacher told me I need to knock it off and be quiet. This, along with other students following in what she said, had me crying most days. Now I homeschool and am surrounded by very supportive family and friends. We actually think it pretty cool! Thank you for sharing this information with people! Hopefully more people will start to understand that it is uncontrollable and sometimes uncomfortable, but it's nothing for anyone to be ashamed of!
Oh my god. Never tell your trigger words to anybody. I dont suffer from that but I sure as hell would just chant Atlanta if I knew I'd 100% get a response. Just the thought of it is hilarious. Please dont divulge that on the Internet.

Cities & Skyscrapers YEAH YOU DUMMY!!!
I'm thirteen and I have a tic that makes me constantly say "I love you" to my family and it feels embarrassing.
but.. that’s cute🥺
my tics are also pretty embarrassing, I wink at people and girls think im weird and I get bullied a lot bc when I wink at men they think im gay.
@@cxptain3vil193 that’s got to suck. Maybe you can wear sunglasses to cover your eyes when you go out in public. Sorry if my comment didn’t help you.
@@SweetFacade Yeah, I tend to wear sunglasses out in public. I appreciated your comment because I am able to relate to other people so it doesn't make me feel singled out.
@@cxptain3vil193 I guess people with Tics have to look out for each other. :)
I have Tourette’s syndrome actually but what’s weird is that my Tourette’s only starts acting up when I have too much of a stimulant (like caffeine or sugar) the I was able to find out about it is because when I was in kindergarten my doctor put me on this stuff to help me with my ADD (yes I have ADD too) and for seemingly no reason I started twisting my arms constantly, and the teacher did nothing, it actually took three days before my family actually saw what was happening. Thankfully I was off that medication a day later and my Tourette’s hasn’t acted up since
Smiler Vlogs and Stuff i was put on vyvanse for adhd and that’s when my tics started getting bad. but i can’t go off my meds because they’re the only thing that actually works and helps me function in school. my psychiatrist tried putting me on other medications to counteract the tics, but then they also counteracted the positive affects of the vyvanse so, at the moment, i’m stuck with dealing with tics
Smiler Vlogs and Stuff it seems that temperature changes can trigger vocal tics for me and I don’t know why
MittenOwner I have been similar experiences recently, like temperature gets lower or higher and I like jerk my head back or I move my arms or something randomly
Same with the stimulant
Yes it seems like its linked to dopamine, i got very low level of tics and alot of anxiety, i also slur alot and talk very fast, it all gets worse when i consume caffeine or any dopamine stimulant
I never had Tourette Syndrome but I had a moderate to severe stutter when I was a kid that all the other kids made fun of, but has since improved. No one deserves to be made fun of for something they can't control.
R A how did u recover from stuttering, im stutterer my self?
R A I’ll say...
My bff is a bit of a stutterer. She's growing out of it! (She thinks it was caused by medication as a newborn cuz i think she was too small and about to die. Im not sure.)
R A My little cousin has stutter too, he's almost 18 and still stutters, but getting better though.
Mine was induced by anxiety more than anything else. I struggle with anxiety and depression, and have been since I was a little kid, but it doesn't manifest that way anymore. A huge part of it improving was getting really into music and wanting to learn all the lyrics to very complicated rap songs. The more confidence I had in my ability to speak, the less I stuttered. I still have a very mild one, but most people don't notice. I also hear that speech pathologists help with stutters as well, although I never went to one myself.
For those of you curious about my age, I'm 20. I still talk about the bullying I had when I was a little kid with my therapist. Stutter is mostly gone, but I have a host of other problems, mainly because of the way I've been treated by others.

Ubnormal doesn't mean wrong
They're highlighted differences from the status quo
Ubnormal is not good or bad noticing and accepting differences and trying to find out how they occur is a large part of acceptance and helping
BTW I'm not trying get at u or anyone else,hopefully(this is a helping hand from someone who doesn't get the joke)
@@lukelehmann4783 Oh, I was just making a joke about how she casually shoves the guy aside.
I have a pretty severe case of Tourette’s. Since I can remember, I’ve always had mild chills that’d pop up unexpectedly, but I wasn’t cold or scared or anything. This persisted for a while until I entered high school and I saw things like kicking, biting, falling over, etc. My parents were super confused and, obviously, concerned, so they set up an appointment with a psychiatrist for me. Funnily enough, a week before the appointment, my friends were joking about some character called the “Tourette’s guy” who’d swear at random intervals, but I kinda shrugged it off. Once I had my appointment, the doctor said she suspected I had Tourette’s. It all went down the drain from there. My tics got so bad that I had to be put into online school, which sent me down into a spiral of loneliness and, eventually, depression. I was prescribed tons of meds over the year just to see what would actually work. Some of them made my life a nightmare, like the one that made my anxiety skyrocket or the one that lowered my blood pressure so much that I couldn’t get up at times, and others had little to no effect. I was sent to two mental hospitals, the first of which had some staff that totally disrespected me (e.g. yelling at me for throwing things,) and the second of which was where I was at the pinnacle of depravity. However, that one seemed to get me slightly back on my feet, especially because of the amount of social interaction I had compared to next to none. I returned to regular schooling sophomore year, which still showed some effects of my disorders- I would often have to go home early because of my tics, I was highly unmotivated, I was stressed by the amount of content I missed and had to make up, and I got associated with some bad people. However, I continued to get treatment via therapy and meds, and with the help of supportive family and friends alongside those two things, I saw enormous improvement junior year. I still had to go home from time to time, and I had a pretty bad tic fit that resulted in the people my German class (minus the teacher of course) avoiding me at all costs, but I rekindled old friendships and made new ones and eventually minimized tics. I’m now a senior, and my tics only ever come out when mentioned or when I’m really stressed or anxious. My life may be a bit behind what it could’ve been, but I feel like I’m pretty much back on track, whereas I thought it was hopeless freshman year. I’m happy that I had all the support and resources to get better, but I realized that there must be tons of people out there that haven’t had that. One day I hope that I’ll be able to help those people lower their tics and feel loved and supported. I suck at actually concluding anything, so I’ll leave with a message:
Don’t ever give up.
❤
Jeez, dude! You should write a book! That’s really inspiring!
What meds helped you?
Same I would get random chills and would just jerk my arms or head I would also blink alot and couldn't help it
Damn I get those. Never it expected that was tourettes. Never saw anyone about it. I always called them my random chills.
I was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome when I was thirteen, however, I have never had tics before then so the people around me were very confused. A couple of months before I had shown symptoms of Tourettes, I had been watching videos about it and my family thought I was copying them. It was so hard to explain to them that I couldn't help it but no one believed me and there are some family members who don't but as long as some people believe me that's ok. School is terrible, I am being made fun of for something I cannot control and people always tell me to keep still or quiet but I have not told anyone because I don't want them to know. I now have the "great" nicknames of "twitchy" and "seizure girl" (Because apparently when I have multiple tics at once it looks like a seizure according to people at school) Anyways that's my story blehhh.
I am just curious if meditation would be helpful. Based on the comments above if you focus on an activity the tics disappear. Meditation help you to keep your mind focus.
Kids are evil, I’m so sorry you went through this 😟
i feel bad for you
I think I have tourettes syndrom when I was about 9 it started. Few days erlier I got new tick. I started to blink to much and its really anoying becuase I cant really see much. I start to tic more when I read and my mom says ,,Why you reading so slow"
You shouldn't be ashamed to speak about it.
People nowdays confess about very unethical things/habits about them, things they can easily control or simply keep'em as private. But still they don't care or acknowledge their rudeness.
(I dnt speak english well, hope you understood me)
I have touretts and I get stared a lot in class. Gets really embarrassing. I got a retainer that put pressure on the back of your mouth that stopped it. (Idk how) and there were 2 other hard to explain things. I REALLY HATE THIS! It bothers me sooooo sooooo sooooo much. Luckly it has started to slow down but at times i get the urge to do that faster. I have cried over this too many times it's just terribble.
ThatKidEvan - Roblox stay strong!! I hope that one day you would be able to grow out of it and become even stronger mentally 💪💪
ThatKidEvan - Roblox same stuff happens to me, though I don’t usually cry
ThatKidEvan - Roblox it's Okey be yourself
ThatKidEvan - Roblox Cool story
I'm so sorry. Hope you get better though!
Thank you so much for making this! My boyfriend has Tourette's and I wanted to educate myself about it
good for you!
HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP
well good luck
Can u really handle it? Well wish you whatever u wish yourself.
Thank you for being so caring and open minded!
Please listen to this it would mean a lot.
I’ve had a few tic outbursts lately, it happens out of nowhere! Even my parents thought I was joking, they don’t care that I’m always blinking and head flopping. Sometimes when I write poems or draw it seems to calm down, it also doesn’t affect me when I’m extremely calm yet it does act up when I get mad or embarrassed. It depends on what mood I’m in. I hate it when people think I’m just faking and trying to get attention, that’s the total opposite of what I want I’m an introvert I don’t want strangers laughing at me. I do believe I have Tourette’s because I have a few motor tics and a lot of vocal tics, but my parents don’t take me to the doctor to see if I actually have Tourette’s or it’s just a nervous tic.
It doesent seem like you have tourette's. In order to have it, you must have vocal AND motor tics for over a year. These could just be muscle spasms, or a simple tic dissorder. As long as you dont develope any more tics, I dont think its necessary to see a doctor, unless they begin causing unbearable pain.
Snazzyferret they mentioned having both motor and phonic tics. Even though the tics must be present for a year to qualify for a diagnosis, I think it could quite possibly be TS
@@audreydoyle5268 yeah I dont know how I skipped over that unless they edited it or maybe I'm just dumb lol. But yes, you are correct. Reading it now, this is alot like my experience so it could definetly be tourettes. I know a few people who had motor and vocal tics for a while, but eventually one or the other faded out and it turned out to be just a tic disorder. That's usually why I say that could be a solution before they jump to conclusions that they have tourrettes lol.
You can also have tics caused by strep throat. So if you have had that recently you might want to research sydenhams Correa (I dont think I spelled that right) or PANDAS
I'm in the same situation as you but my parents think I'm just joking around even though it happens a lot and I don't wanna tell them because it's embarrassing to suddenly say I might have Tourettes syndrome even though I got my first vocal tic (throat clearing) over 2 years ago from now. Oh and I also got a motor tic 2 years ago which was I had to move my eyebrows up and down my parents didn't think much about those.

“I feel pretty”
“Oh so pretty”
As someone with moderate Tourette's that involves copralalia, I wish people knew that I HATE my inappropriate tics. I didn't start having them until two years after I started having tics, and I was so glad that I didn't have it and assumed I never would. It's so stressful because most people overhear me and don't know who I am, so they assume that I'm okay with the words I'm saying. The first time I said the N-word in public- in the lobby of my school no less- was preceded 10 minutes of trying desperately not to, and followed by a small panic attack, even though the friends I was talking with tried to reassure me that they weren't upset with me. I still try not to say it in front of my friends, and I apologise every time, because I feel guilty about it. I'm terrified of something going wrong when I meet people.
I also want people to know that as much as I hate copralalia, it's not the worst tic I have. The worst tics I've ever had compel me to punch and slap my own chest, face, and head, or to bite the inside of my mouth really hard. Others compel me to twist my body into painful positions, or to rapidly repeat a movement dozens of times or for several minutes. I've been known to give myself whiplash from jerking my neck so hard. Still others compel me to go completely still. It's not very common anymore, but when I was 14 or 15 it wasn't unusual for me to suddenly have the need to stand or sit completely still with my head tilted all the way back, or even lie on the floor unmoving- unable to even move my mouth to speak. It doesn't sound so bad until you have work you need to get done, or you're walking in public, or you're on the side of the road. Then it's dangerous. Which is why I'm glad I don't have it much.
Moderate and severe cases of Tourette's aren't funny. It's not my excuse to say what I want or get out of things. I'm lucky to be doing better now than I was a few years ago, but believe me when I say that at its worst, it was a living nightmare.
Jeremy Padovani , dang no one asked for a essay
kawaii pig Nobody asked for your opinion
Helping Hand I don't think I'd ever go for DBS. It's an invasive procedures that isn't guaranteed to work, and I don't feel my case warrants that. Besides, I haven't really explored many medications, which I'd want to try first.
My mom doesn't believe my Tourette's is real, so in order to avoid making her angry, I sort of taught myself the techniques they teach you in CBIT so that I could have more control. Substitution, competing actions, and a few other tricks of my own, like breathing techniques, visualization, and Deep Pressure Therapy. Also, I have a fidget cube that I love. It all works pretty well. I've suppressed all my tics for well over an hour in the past, though at that point I'm really uncomfortable and it's impossible to focus on anything else.
The copralalia is still an issue right now, but the tics that cause me actual pain aren't nearly as common as they used to be. Every now and again I might hit myself, but it's kind of just a random thing every couple months or so that doesn't last very long. The ones where I go still barely happen at all. I've had maybe one or two in the past 6 months.
It's nice to find people who get it.
stay strong
I feel bad for you but you are handling this situation well :D
I went into a Noodles & Company for dinner tonight and I saw a guy who would randomly make noises or movements often. I had no knowledge of Tourette's syndrome until about an hour ago. Pretty sure he had it. What a coincidence.
my triggers:
-thinking about mental health, specifically adhd or tourrettes.
-being extremely cold
-being happy
-being excited
-having energy
(i don't have tourette's, just tics)
Same. Especially the cold
Part
i used to have a tic that whenever i was excited or nervous, i would make a high pitched squealing noise lmao
thought I was the only one when I think about mental health then it triggers! also watching movies is hard for me because my vocal tics are making random noises, or saying the actions they are doing throughout the movie (idk why it does that but it is weird lol) kinda funny and I keep saying “interesting” in a high pitched voice lol
My triggers: insufficient sleep and overthinking
I get triggered with being cold!!
My nephew started having lots of verbal tics when he was 7-8 yrs old. It was really bad. He would yell swear words during class and at home at his parents. He spent a week at my house during the summer since his parents were busy and needed a break. Looking back on it I was a really bad aunt. He'd yell swear words or just make loud vocalizations repeatedly, and though I knew he didn't do it on purpose, it got too much for me to handle. I started to scold him and I feel so bad for it now. One occasion he was looking out an open window and started yelling profanity at our neighbors. I was so angry I pushed him aside and scolded him. I feel terrible about it now :(
He's 16 yrs old now and has grown out of his verbal outbursts. He still has tics but its very minor now compared to when he was 7-8 yrs old.
bittermelonleaf you are a terrible aunt and a terrible person for not trying to help him, i will not empathize for you... You are selfish and fucking stupid.. till this day you're stupid and a horrible, disgusting human being.. i hope you realize that
WHY TF THIS POOR EXCUSE OF LIFE HAS 30 LIKES?? what if she did that to your child if he/she had tourettes? THEN WHAT? you still goin to forgive her? SMH
Yes, I was a terrible person. I agree wholeheartedly. I rather forget those days. And yes, we did get him help. There aren't many specialists in our area that deals with Tourette but we did manage to get on a 4 month waitlist to see someone for it. They pretty much just said "We'll wait to see if he grows out of it" and he did for the most part.
It's easier said than done, dealing with a loved one who has Tourettes. Very easy to get frustrated and overwhelmed, even if you think of yourself as a patient person. Its not as easy as one would think. I can empathize with families who have a hard time dealing with Tourette since I have dealt with it myself.
Teanna Hairston oh my god, calm down. Just because she got overwhelmed, which is incredibly easy to do, that doesn’t make her a bad person. She’s realized her mistakes and she even admitted to those mistakes in her original comment. You shouldn’t be so quick to judge, as your comment is extremely hypocritical and selfish.
Teanna Hairston Have you ever met someone who has tourettes? Because I have, and I’ll tell you, it’s extremely difficult to deal with, more than you could ever know. How would you feel if your nephew started spitting out uncontrollable curse words? It’s not nearly as simple as you’re making it out to be.
I have Tourette’s. It's not that bad though. When I'm extremely focused on something, like reading or drawing, I don't do tics. But when I see other people doing tics, I begin to feel anxious and embarrassed. Sometimes it hurts, because a body part moves so much, it begins to ache.
YEAH! Trying to suppress a tic just makes my body ache..it's like your soul just hurts
Same
Goat Shenanigans true! once, I threw my head on to the ground and twisted my neck. it hurt so badddddd. another time I hit my dog and I cried. it’s not fun
When I try to not tic I have trouble breathing
Yeah true, it aches a lot for me
If you had a tic which allowed you to dab uncontrollably.
I used to have a tic where I would half dab with my left arm. Now I have learned to control most of them.
i had one of those
I had one like that but I prefer it to the one where I did friggen Naruto hand motions and looked like a total weeb
That's most likely a thing for someone out there.

I have Tourette syndrome. If I have not exercised hard enough for a long time my tics are allot worse. The shoulder shrugging en vocal tics are honestly minor things. Tourette syndrome affects personality in a huge way especially when people don't accept you. And for someone like myself with the syndrome to feel like we are just good enough to be thrown into the dumpster are really painful. Normally I see how girls really like me allot, but once I start opening up my syndrome starts to affect my personality and I very quickly see how they don't accept me. Best way to describe it is the tics are like itches. If you don't scratch the itch it will keep on itching till you scratch it and when you do scratch it, it gives relief. The same happens for me in me in my personality when it comes to liking or loving someone. I keep on feeling like I need to get the affection and very soon it gives the impression that I am needy or clingy. Only a person having tourette syndrome can fully understand the struggles.
I have it and I understand I’m the same way
I don't have it diagnosed yet, but i've been getting tics for 3 years. I only have 4 physical tics, and 1 vocal tic
It's like you have to sneeze, huh!? It's that itch that is welling up and you can't move on until you tic. I hear ya though, stay up on top an ride the lightning.
@@dannywelch9492 that is exactly it, I've had it since I was 6, (I'm 16 now) and it hasn't gotten any better and it's just a pain in my rear
Actually I CAN control it, but it stresses me out, like the need to scratch a bug bite, so I let it out anyways. It is really an inconvenience, because I'm able to kind of move my ears up and down which makes my Bluetooth headphone keep almost slipping out when I do my tics.
Scratching a bug bite isnt tourettes
@@itzwildkat6127 they were using a metaphor
how do you move your ears
Goat Shenanigans same, but the urge is so strong that it hurts so much to not do tics.
@@mrsmamalove yeah
I have Tourette’s and I’ve been bullied by I have complex Tourette’s and it’s the worse in 7th 8th grade and in high school it gets better once over high school your tics are very rare
ITS ALSO A RECESIVE GENE
bagelini man good luck
I also have Tourette's, also I haven't been bullied so far. I have complex Tourette's and a few simple tics. 9th grade here I come.
I have tics I don't get bullied
I haven’t been diagnosed with tourette syndrome yet, but I had tics for years now. My common tics are head jerking, facial movements (Only if I am not occupied with something and in a distress state), and eye rolling. It does not repeat itself continuously for an exaggerated amount of time and I can manage to control the urge of having tics. I’m 21 and I’m just worried by the fact that it can get worse (Please, I hope not). The only thing that helps me right now is relaxing myself and not putting too much bad stress into my mind.
I didn’t have to worry about my tics whenever I’m at school mainly because I am preoccupied with a lot of things and my brain is focusing on all sort of school stuff, but since we are on an epidemic, school has been cancelled that is why I think I am noticing my tics more.
I am practicing myself to be in control. I guess if I let it be then it can get worse. I hope to those people similar to my experience, we can all get through this with a positive mind and heart. Always look forward to happiness and positivity. 😌💕
I am 17 years old, and my Tourette Syndrome was a thing that was diagnosed back in 2017, but really took off during the fall of 2019. Some of my first tics were a grunting noise and shoulder shrugging. I've had 2 that have been harmful to me since I've been diagnosed. One was where I would breath in and out very rapidly, as if hyperventilating, and the other one was where I would jab my elbow backwards very hard, and it started to pull on my muscles in my shoulder, which, if they were broken, would be almost impossible to repair. Luckily, I didn't care about what people thought about me, and it would of been fine, but that's where my anxiety comes in.
I tell you, Tourette Syndrome and Anxiety are super effective in making you fear everything to the point you don't want to be near anyone for as long as you can. My anxiety told me that everyone was watching me, and I was constantly out of class to escape. The anxiety made me worried, which made me tic more, which then made me worry even more, and when you add Depression and ADHD along with the fact that I barely slept because of my insomnia, it was a vicious cycle that I never could see myself escaping. Thankfully, I had parents that were there to support me, as well as people at school. Other than my tourette syndrome, I was a fairly quiet kid that just did what they were told and didn't argue, and I was generally liked by my teachers. Today, I only have three tics that happen often, all of which have no preemptive feelings to, so they can not be treated. Luckily, none of them are harmful. That's my story with Tourette Syndrome, and although this video is almost 3 years old now, I just thought that now would be as good of a time as ever to tell about it, since I don't think that this is something that will go away with time, and may be something I have while being an adult.
1. I want to say thank you for covering Tourette syndrome it really means a lot to me
2. I feel like it should have been impotent to mention that Tourette syndrome is categorize by 2 or more motor and 1 or more vocal tics. If you only have motor then it could be chronic motor tic disorder, and vice versa with vocal. Another important thing to mention is that some people with tourette's have Echophilia (I could have spelt that wrong sorry) that causes people to repeat and copy other people.
3. This ep really means a lot to me due to lack of people talking about Tourette syndrome. It can be hard doing things and going places with Tourette and a lot of times I find its easier if more awareness is spread. There are days were I hate being out in public because I yell random things like 'No No No! Fish!' 'No zucchini for Beethoven' and other strange things while my head jerks or another motor tic has it's way. I often get my vocal tics compare to the sound of a dog if they aren't words and my motor tics can leave me unable to walk because my legs will start kicking or give out on me. (I'm normally on meds so for most parts I can get around my day with people noticing I have Tourette's but every now and again I still have bad tic days)it also sucks that every time at the beginning of a school year I had to explain I have Tourette syndrome. Having more awareness and clearing up negative stigma would allow me not to have to worry about trying to explain to every new person I met 'hey I have Tourette.' So again thank you for spreading a bit more awareness.
I never knew it was called exhophilia. That was my vocal tic. Thanks
I have Ecophilia and it is terribly terrible
Woah didnt know you would say this like that iin vocal tics, thought it was just simple wordsa and stuf
_________ we can say full sentences and even small chapters of books. Some tics are even noises like whistling that a person might not know how to do but their tourette's can. However they are some people whom only say one word (like the one guy who only yells stop) and only make small noises

These comments make me smile, knowing how many others also deal with some form of this is comforting. I'm 27 and have been dealing with simple tics since i was 5 years old (long time). Have never been diagnosed. First it was tensing my neck and tilting my head up. Then it was scrunching my nose. Then it became blinking excessively. Now it's a relentless twitching in my left eye, accompanied by opening and closing my throat. All of these lasted years before morphing into something else. Some years better than others. There was a time when I felt I had finally gotten rid of them. Still dealing with it. For anyone out there who's young and still figuring this out, self medicating does NOT work. Don't try to doctor it yourself. Reach out and ask for help/support.
I have torette syndrum to do lots of things. Like bite the side of my mouth, scream, bang my knees together, touch stuff, and stick my tounge out like a snake. I told my school and i fit in with everyone else.
If anyone else has torrete syndrum, i feel ya.
Ives got tourette's too, I've met a few Hamilton fans because one of my tics are "AND PEGGY!"
I have Tourettes, but I know a lot of people have it worse. For me, I only get ticks in my head/face. I used to have a painful tic where I turn my head really fast. I get a lot of vocal tics and those are slightly harder to control. The last kind of tic I get is in my throat (since tourettes can literally be the uncontrollable movement of ANY muscle) and that tic I have I don't know how, but it causes my sinuses to drain and it's really annoying bc it makes my throat burn and then I drink like 2-3 gallons of water a day. In my case, it is fairly manageble compared to other cases and I'm thankful for that, I also want to say that each tic isn't controllable at all. Tic's aren't like "tremurs" (IDK if I'm pronouncing that right but that thing people have with parkinson's disease) It's more like if someone threw a baseball at your face, your gonna move whether you want to or not.
Captain Bly I have it too, and it’s controllable, except my tics are just everywhere on my body
I also have it. My vocal tics mainly arise when I'm alone and I have a lot of wrist, finger, shoulder, and neck ones that I can make less severe but overall they still happen. Suppressing them hurts pretty bad because of my joints and muscles and mental stuff but it's become a habit...which I'm not too upset about hahaha being good at suppressing is definitely not a bad thing but sometimes I wish I could just relax
2:07, there are no eyes left to cry😂😂😂
I used to have Tourette Syndrome for over 13 years. I consider myself to be extremely lucky, because all my symptoms did eventually disappear. Something that still frustrates me to this day, is that most people only associate Tourette Syndrome with people who are uncontrollably swearing. I had self-harming tics, that made me bite small flesh chunks out of my lips, which was really painful. Most people started to see me as a cripple, once I told them, that I have Tourette Syndrome. Telling people about my disease never helped me, it only made things worse for me. Most kids in my school laughed about my tics, which destroyed my self-esteem and my self-respect. I began to see myself as "not normal“ and started to isolate myself from society, which made school life even more tough for me. Even though I don‘t have Tourette symptoms anymore, I still struggle to rebuild my life. After all these years of being bullied and mistreated, I find it extremely difficult to meet new people, because I don‘t feel comfortable around people anymore.
I developed Tourettes Syndrome when I was 7. I had been perscribed Ritalin, but when I took it I ended up suffering a seizure, and I've had tics since then. I'm 28 now, and I manage them by no TV (been 7 and 1/2 years since I've watched anything-I listen to youtube videos instead), I keep gluten and corn out of my diet, I watch my sugar intake, and I also manage my C-PTSD symptoms as well.
"Oh so my tics aren't supposed to hurt??" -me after watching this video
Some of mine hurt also ouch
error 404 literally same they make me twist my neck or cramp in my stomach:(
Mine only hurt when I just frickin punch myself...I would honestly not be surprised if my skull is cracked.
My neck is extremely sore and it hurts to move it too much because of head jerking :/
i have one where i squinch my eyes rlly hard and i used to have one when i pushed in my stomach and i used to get cramps all of the time
I have Tourette’s and it’s not bad but I keep putting my chin against my throat
People kept asking why I was flexing. (:
Thomas Barnhart yes and no. I have simple so it’s not bad but it acts up sometimes but I can control it a tad bit. I am lucky cause most can’t control it.

"What causes tourettes syndrome" is the title of the video, yet only 20-25 seconds was actually spent with very vague explanation.
I have Tourette’s and i was diagnosed when i was 6. Early Elementary was stress full from people always asking about why do i keep making sounds or randomly moving so much. I just explained to them what was wrong and helped them understand I’m just the same as anyone else. I am 20 now and i still take medication to help control my tics. I can say for sure though since i was a child my symptoms have improved massively. I can now feel when i want to move and hold it back for the most part. Without my medicine I have mostly head jerking. Sometimes i bark but hey it’s not all that bad. I have had a supportive and caring family throughout my life and I’m glad they helped me through any stress and depression from being bullied growing up.
I was diagnosed with Tourette's at seven years old and been dealing with it since then. My tics were simple things like eye and hand movements at the time, but have developed into complex movements involving arms, legs, neck, and torso. I am a part of the rare group where I won't grow out of it and have tried all the possible medications. Because of that, I am left with the implanting of a brain device for a chance at normalcy.

After watching this video, I talked to my mom about this and we went to doctor. Turns out I have Tourettes syndrome. Thank you so much for this video, if I hadn't seen it we would most probably still be unavare of my state. 😊❤️❤️❤️
Tics come and go, I have tourettes, one is when I make a goat sound and another is when i stiff up my body, they happen when the brain is excited or entertained ex. When you play video games you are entertained because its fun. Tics also happen when you are stressed or mad. I am 11 and I just wanted to give a Explanation on tourettes and why thay happen. Reply if you have something to say
Staying calm or being distracted can help so try something calm like minecraft peaceful mode it won’t be too exciting but you know being distracted can sometimes help
I have that, and my most common one is rolling my eyes, but I do it so much that it hurts so badly... When I was in 7th grade I kept rubbing my eyes because it hurt so much... I have a few other ones as well but that's my most common one. I often have people mock me and make me feel worse because of it. I get bullied for it. It's really hard... They usually come out more when I'm stressed out about something. It's a really bad urge to do something that I can't control. If I do try to control it, it only gets worse. It's REALLY annoying.

I think i have tourette syndrome and im pretty Comfortable with sharing it (im sure nobody cares tho xd) it hasnt affected me much more than in night, cuz before i sleep i get the strong urges to move my shoudler or move my legs and thats mostly the reason why i get to sleep 2hours after im laying in bed lol, but other than that there is nothing else that i have, im only 10 tho so it might get worse as the years go on, my mom thought that i had some kind of mental sickness or something severe, but thanks to the wonderful place of life noggin i proved her wrong, this has been going on since i was 8 years old btw (HA I TOLD U MOM!, um sorry xd)
ZeusAlmighty G8MING could be restless leg syndrome also Tourette syndrome is categorized by having 2 or more motor tics plus a vocal tic

Casinova Fashionova some people with Tourette's only have them at current times of day or around the same current times in a day

Hi all. I was diagnosed with TS back in '91 when things (at least in my area) were poorly understood. I have seen a lot of change in the general acceptance of TS over the years and hopefully it will continue to become less of an isolating factor. It's a challenge, no simple way around the fact. I do know that it made me who I am today through trial by fire, and I'm not all the way sure I'd take it back. For those currently dealing with the disorder, either personally or surrounding a loved one, take care and let the patience build over time for all the ups and downs that come with it. It's been 30 years so far for me, and I work alongside it daily, but having people to talk to about it sure does help.
Wishing you all the the best. I know it's hard for everybody (including the support crew). Take care and let it teach you a thing or two over time.
kind regards
I have tourette syndrome and it's not what you expect it's very uncomfortable and it occured from medication I took

Tourettes made my early and pre teen years hell, ticks were crappy and the surrounding conditions that came with it made it very hard to fit in. But as I've gotten older its faded and I feel like I'm better for it, I've learnt to be more sympathetic to those with disabilities and also it has Inca roundabout way given me a very positive outlook on life
I was diagnosed with Tourettes at about 12 years old and I found that people around me being informed was a huge deal. I had both motoric and vocal tics (No words, mainly noises like chirping, growling, etc) but no-one knew why it was happening, myself included so I was an easy target for bullying since I was the weird kid. But once i got my diagnosis, my mother signed us up with the Norwegian Tourettes union (Not sure if that's the correct term) and they sent us information brochures and such to be handed out to teachers, etc. Once the people around me became aware of why I was doing the things I was doing, the bullying pretty much stopped.
If any parents of a kid with Tourettes reads this comment, get the people around your kid informed. It will make your kid's life so much easier. And if you have a union for it in your country like we do here, sign up. When I was about 16 they arranged a weekend for teens with Tourettes and if you don't know anyone around you who has Tourettes, it's a huge deal for a kid to be able to go and meet other people with the same condition.
honestly i've noticed lately that when ever i get really mad or i cry to much i will have this one tic that will make me like shiver but like its not a shiver its like different but ill also like shake my head and close my eyes really fast but it only happens when im mad or have been crying to much and idk what it is...
I love learning new things.

When I was around 9 years old I had this. I could never stop nodding, poking my tongue out and making ahh noises. It has stopped over the years and I am getting way better and it is quite rare for me to still do this. I am 14 now but what I Think made it better is that I all ways tried to hide it so no one really noticed and that did work.
Ask your parents if you had it before being 9 ? Starting to think vaccines caused it , because I never had it as a young child till Dr injected me with them
I do the nodding too.
@@oceanpacific3841 its Just a coincidence
I’m 25 and was diagnosed when I was 12. I grew up my whole life with tics not knowing what they were. My parents constantly yelled at me to stop and I was bullied throughout K-12 grades. As an adult when people question my tics i just explain myself. I get tired of the weird stares.
I also have tourretes syndrome, not as much on the severe side as a lot of people but still decently prominent with less distinguishable tics like rapid coughing and blinking. It’s also good that I’m going to an arts high school because no one really notices my tics or knows I have tourretes except for my friends. The thing is in general the more extreme parts of the spectrum is often shown in media and that’s why I’m glad people are talking more about it like in this video. Good on ya

Aww, sweet! I'm so glad they made this video because I myself have tourettes and it's been the cause of bullying and teasing. My friends have gotten so used to my tics that they actually like it and I'm glad they accept that part of me. Although I like to let people know I have tourettes, I don't let it define me :)
I am a 19 year old male. I’ve had Tourette’s since I was in kindergarten. Please be wary of the articles saying that it usually disappears by age 18. I am pretty sure I’ll have mine for the rest of my life. If you know somebody with tourette’s, the BEST thing you can do for them is tell them it’s okay to do their tics around you and your family. I go too far just to avoid doing my tics because I never did my tics around my girlfriend’s family, but now it has been three years and my tics are worse than before. It would seem weird to just start doing it in front of them.
It's so much easier to grasp when Amy explains it😂

I used to have a friends that have a tourette syndrom back in high school he keeps touching his arms and his chin and i used to think it was kind of funny but i finally learns what tourette syndrom was.
I'm fine if people laugh at my tics, as long as they're not making fun of me. I mean, it's gonna be pretty hard to not laugh when I just blurt out, UGLY BABY!
I have touretts too i also used to get bullyed but i told some people at school to look it up they started to understand
I have tics! And my tics are complex, my doctor said the thing about tics is it is very embarrassing so just make sure to not laugh at them, it’s something we can’t control :)

I’m 100% sure I have Tourette’s, but haven’t even talked to my doctor about it. I’ve had it since I was 11 and I’m 19 now. It only gotten worse and I didn’t realize i actually had it until a few months ago. Every day and several times a day I go through sporadic bursts of blinking hard and tilting my head, sniffing, clearing my throat, making low vocal bellows with my throat, sometimes to a specific number of times or to a preferred tone , and I constantly crack my knuckles back and neck every chance I get, I also have to whistle and when I’m trying to talk if I forget what I’m saying I have to do a lot of these tics before I gain my memory back of what I was even trying to say
I have Tourette's Syndrome. Something that most people don't know is that motor (physical) ticing will injure you over time. Clenching your teeth, for example, will result in your teeth ending up become flat. If you have a tic where you pop a joint out of its position, such as your shoulder, it could require surgery after years of doing that tic.

Sorry I have tourettes
Akshat vashisht You obviously haven’t watched Bill Wurtz then....
I have this syndrome, and it have me a bit of a depression, as said in the video. Luckily, my friends are very supportive, so you shouldn't worry about that.
well, i haven't been officially "diagnosed" with tourettes, but it is very obvious that i have a tic disorder. people think that i am just playing or im having a seizure, which is not the case at all. my tics are a wheeze, slapping my chest, and a harsh body jerk (especially when im cold). i find them unique, but they do make me worried on dates and crap like that.
Hi my names Madison and I have the rare disease called Tourette’s citrom I was diagnosed with Tourette’s when I was about 6/7 now I am 11 soon to be 12 and right now soon it’s going to be the first day at a new school for me and I have this one tic where I hold all of my muscles and this one is really painful most times :( and I used to have this one where me and my family call: “the squeaker” it’s where I make this screaming/ squeaking noise. And I’m kinda scared to go to school because I don’t know if the other kids are going to make fun of me for it or not….sometimes in the past when my tics would come out all the other kids would say: “what are you doing?”or “can you stop it’s weird” and I would say “o-oh it’s just my Tourette’s/tics” and soon they would say: “what even is Tourette’s?”or “what are tics?” And…..I would always say: “I don’t know”……and most times when it’s night and I’m at home I start to think about my Tourette’s and……it gives me an tiny….anxiety attack…but soon my cat Marley 🐈⬛ would come up to me as I’m crying and soon……I feel better ❤️🩹 and most times when I’m with her or my two other pets I feel……connected ❤️ kind of like…our souls are connected in a way…..and now I mostly have tics like: shaking my foot, sniffling a lot, or holding all my muscles……most of my life I’ve wondered: “why?….why was i born this way?” But sometimes to help with my tics I draw or sing! ❤️ 🎶 🖌 and my fav singer is Billie Eilish ❤️ me seeing how for that she got to where she is it…maid me feel…..stronger and to help Control my tics I have to take a pill in the morning and in the Afternoon Anyways that’s my story bye ✌️
Can't believe you got Mayim Bialik as a guest narrator. AWESOME!
Could you do a video on narkalepsey ?
Idk if my friend has it but she now starts opening her eyes wide then shutting them aggressively or sucks in air for no reason
I recently started having tics and it's been pretty sucky because my tics consist of randomly jerking my head and arms and it kind of hurts
Same. I’m going to get tested soon. I suggest you do soon becuase it only gets worse from here unfortunately

Elena Trout Yes it is...
You have no clue how fast I clicked this bc of my Tourette’s
I'm 13 and THINK I have it. Ill find out next month. My tics constantly throughout the day make me say random words, screech with that, and its like a holding in a sneeze feeling.
Hello! I am here for you! I am going through the same thing.
I have Tourrette Syndrome. For those who don’t know why we do it, let me try and explain it in a way. Do you feel like you have an urge to scratch an itchy area? Yeah thats what we feel! I have both vocal and motor tics. So its like, I have the urge to grunt or i have the urge to shrug my shoulders. Its actually something that makes me look like an idiot or a clown. So I often try and stop myself from doing the tics. I try so hard but I just can’t stop it! Okay so. Try and not blink for 1 hour. Do you have the urge to blink? Yeah. Its something that us,the people who are diagnosed with tourrettes, have. So. My only thing to say is, if u have tourrette syndrome and u dont wanna be embarrased, dont force yourself to not do the tic. If people start telling you to stop it because its annoying, tell them “do you have a strong urge to scratch an itchy area? Yeah! You Do! I have tourrette syndrome. It something that makes me have the urge to do or say something weird. It’s something that I have to deal with okay! I always get comments like what you said to me. You may not know how it feels like. Just know that me and other people with tourrette syndrome have to go through this our entire lives,” Anyways I’m Just 12 Years Old. Hopefully people without tourrette syndrome who are reading this will know what we have to go through. So please try and understand that some of us have tourrettes. Don’t judge us without knowing that we have tourrettes.

I was literally thinking about tourettes syndrome when this notification came up. wtf
I had depression way before I got tics, it just got worse after that one time...
I got Tourette's in the fourth grade so I was around 7 1/2 and 8 and at the time I thought it was normal since my tics were so rare. When I entered high school they started showing up more often and when I started sec 3 (or 9th grade) they got so bad to the point where I developed 5 new tics. The reason for this is because when I started high school I started getting a lot of panic attacks and was very anxious all the time. My mother and I talked to our doctor and referred us to a psychologist who said I has severe generalized anxiety and severe social anxiety, PTSD and 1 or 2 more that he couldn't quite pin down. So when my tics started to increase in severity I looked up why I kept twitching and most of the results I got were that I suffered from substance abuse or had too much caffeine but yk I'm 14 and have never had any of those problems. I never mentioned this before to my family because they don't really believe in mental illness and always told me that it was all in my head and the fact that my anxiety subconsciously held back all the tics I had in public and I basically exploded when I was alone. And for those who may be wondering my motor tics consist of: head, shoulder, hands, arms, back and neck twitching that can happen by themselves, with one another or all at the same time. I also get face pulling and I scrunch my nose or lift my lip. I only have 1 vocal tic and its a brrrrraaaaaaauuhh sounds while I twitch but it doesn't happen very often. Thanks for reading
Saw her name in the title and knew who it was... is that a good thing??
its not a good thing
No its not this wideo is fucking racist at me is it a joke
Joel Deakin I mean i was just like "omg....Its tge bit*h from that one show"😂😂💀
I have the feeling i have Tourette syndrome and i’m comfortable sharing it, so here goes.
From second grade there was this friend of mine (very good one) that seemed to jerk his head from left to right to get his neck to snap.
I thought : “Huh, that’s strange... but interesting. There must be an explanation for this.”
So, i tried it too and now i do it more than he does because it just feels right.
It has also stayed with me for more than a year now since i’m in third grade.
My story makes me believe that Tourette syndrome (if i have it) could also occur from outside influences like friends and family.
Hello lovely people that read my story to the end and bye!
(p.s. i wouldn’t try to do this just in case you get the same thing as me)
To be diagnosed with Tourette's, you need at least one vocal tic and two motor tics.
Stop saying the same thing to ever comment
Snow Kat, what's wrong with that? It's informative and it answers people's questions.
Good point.. But the person never asked that question and it seems like you're just copying and pasting the same thing to ever comment without actually reading it and seeing if you have a suggestion/answer to help that person. ((sorry if that doesn't make sense, i'm not the best with words.
Snow Kat, I was thinking more to suggest that they didn't have it
I have tourrete syndrome and I didn't really start to notice it until I was in the third grade. I never really got bullied but every once in a wile people would yell at me to stop. They didn't understand what I was doing. I would explain what was happening to them then they would understand. This video helped me understand more about my tourrete syndrome. Thank you.
I’ve had a few tics for a long time, but I learned how to control them when I need to. They sometimes come out of nowhere in “fits” so to speak. I pop my ears and sniff repeatedly. I clear my throat constantly. When I was younger, I would stretch my mouth really wide, then stretch my nose and touch my upper lip to my nose. All of this happens without me even realizing that I’m doing it until either someone points it out or I notice people giving me weird looks.
My best friend has Tourettes
When you are a red head with Tourette’s and the character also has red hair
Ewittz
Maybe they chose you as a moddel?
the gamer oh damn I’m famous now
Hey blocko. Thank you so much for making this! Im a kid who also has Tourette syndrome and I really wanted someone to explain what it was to me. Thank u!
I have Tourette’s, it made me feel bad as a younger kid cuz i felt so different from everyone else but now I’m pretty comfortable with it and i found music is one way for me to temporarily stop my tics, I hope they find a way of preventing or curing so future kids don’t have to deal with it as well
Is it possible to cry without tears?
No.
Except if you have fake eyes
my friend has tourettes and his tics is really complex
Just letting you know, it's spelled "Tourette's" and "tics"
i get a form of simple tics due to my autism. such as random head jerking or a shoulder shrug. and sometimes i get both at the same time. it happens at least 10x a day, and at most, 50x a day.
Thanks! It’s hard when you haven’t met someone with Tourette’s and see extreme ones online you don’t want to be harmful and assume it’s fake just because it looks so different so thanks for the education!
I always thought that my tics were just a bad habit..
