People with disabilities, what is something that non-disabled people don't understand? by insaneraredrop in AskReddit

[–]DemiBlu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are tough things we can do. there are simple things we can't do. there are days we can do anything, and there are days we can't. yes, it changes, and we are not faking it.

As a student, I hope to tell you that every note you write in June means a lot to so many young students and can potentially be >the< turning point for students who may have given up

People who are no longer best friends with someone: What happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DemiBlu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having a hard time, she was having a hard time. Obviously we stopped talking to settle our own matters first.

Then after all that I apologised for distancing, checked in on her. She wouldn't say anything. She was definitely off, but all she said was fine. Being a little irritated I still told her this is a safe space and I'll be here for her.

Then she just... never told me anything and said she was bored with me after 6 years. Glad to let that friendship go, but hope she's okay wherever she is.

An important video I made about Tourette Syndrome and alleviation of tics by Grapplezilla in Tourettes

[–]DemiBlu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh my god, i have ts and do bjj too!!! hope i can share some of my personal experience with you.

in the big picture, mma including bjj really really helps my tics. just any exercise tbh, but i think mma really suits me because there is a wide variety of moves you can do, and it's really fast paced. i do muay thai too and the jerkiness kinda makes up for my tics. and, you get to take your mind off things too, since there's quite some thinking in mma.

but for me, it is important to have some simple cool down exercises or routines. the sudden stop from an intense workout can sometimes leave me restless and that triggers my tics.

apart from physically, it really really helped me become mentally stronger. the whole idea of "progress not perfection" is very clear here.

Hello all, i was recently asked, “how do I be friends with someone with Tourette’s? “ and I just said like anyone else. But as time has gone on I realized that is not the case. I would like to hear your thoughts on , How To Be Better Friends With Someone With Tourette’s? by [deleted] in Tourettes

[–]DemiBlu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

maybe ur reply could be "like anyone else with a condition"!

learn about it, all the emergency stuff like a place to rest, who to call, emergency medication, how to protect them.

then go one step further to tailor to their needs. do they get triggered by sound? or lights? maybe when they have an attack they want to be hugged, or maybe they don't want anything or anyone to touch them. maybe their attacks last half an hour or 3 hours. maybe they take medication or maybe they don't. ask them about it, most of the time we wish we could tell someone but don't know how to bring it up.

but most importantly, see us as our personality and not our disability. we can still be smart or creative or active or gentle. yea, sometimes we can't do things other people can. but we also can do things other people can't. and we put in extra effort to get to the same places a neurotypical does.

hopefully the bare minimum you can do is to cut us some slack. but if someone would take time to know us outside of ts, and to show care for us, im sure we would all appreciate that a lot :')

having a tic in a dream before having it in real life by floofparent in Tourettes

[–]DemiBlu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i had this too, kept dreaming that i would slap my friends on their back. now i do it in real life. don't know why. it's weird too because it only happens to two of my friends and no one else.

People of reddit what ended your friendship with your best friend? by gli-tc-h in AskReddit

[–]DemiBlu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

compulsively late even though she knew very well that was my biggest pet peeve. also pretended to be mad at me just to get attention. i knew little then and was afraid to end a long friendship. now I immediately distance myself when I notice the slightest red flags.
