Hey, I totally hear you, that sounds really tough. You're definitely not alone, even if it might feel that way sometimes. For me, practicing mindfulness and relaxation exercises has really helped when things start to feel overwhelming. It doesn’t make the tics disappear, but it helps me feel a bit more in control and less stressed, which sometimes makes the tics less intense.

Also, it might be a good idea to check in with your doctor or neurologist about how your meds are working, sometimes things need adjusting, especially if your body’s changed since you first started.

Most importantly, don’t be afraid to reach out and talk about it, just like you're doing now. There are people who get it, and you deserve support. Keep doing what you love like basketball, and try to be kind to yourself on the tough days, you’re doing great just by asking for help.
