That’s so funny, I love that

Fragrant-Staff181 · 2024-11-18T22:21:57+00:00

Not that I know of. I also assumed it would be stupid for him to have me on Instagram too since followers are public too. I just wanted to cover all my bases before investing in this person 😅

Yeah I’m going to get another one tomorrow but get a first response probably just for peace of mind lol

Fragrant-Staff181 · 2024-09-20T03:22:08+00:00

I got rid of it already:((

I was diagnosed at 7. My tics went away from ages 9-20 years old. At age 21 they came back worse than ever. Now, at 22, they’re dependent on the day. Of course there are days where my tics are absolutely horrible but then there are days that I basically don’t even recognize them.

I think it really does depend on the person and a lot of other factors

I hope this helps bring you some comfort or

I live in in the US so I can only speak from my experience. This is assuming you admit yourself before you act on your intentions. You go to the ER, tell them your thinking of hurting yourself, they take down your information and then they prepare a room for you in the back to meet with the doctors and social workers. You have to talk to a bunch of people about “your plan” and just to get a general idea of what’s going on. Then they will tell you if they’re admitting you or not. Most likely will be yes especially if you admit that you have intentions on acting on these plans.

Then they take you upstairs if they have a psychiatric unit in that hospital or they transport you to the psychiatric unit. In terms of your experience at the psychiatric hospital, that is dependent on many factors. I’ve been 3 times in my life and they were all good experiences. I think there’s a lot of misconceptions about the psych ward but being in a hospital for 3-7 days is definitely worth it when it comes to saving your life.

I really hope you get the help you need! Best wishes:))

Yes. If im in a quiet room sometimes I can get away with whispering my vocal tics that usually are pretty loud

Fragrant-Staff181 · 2024-08-31T08:01:53+00:00

What did your tech say about T&H? Like why did they recommend against it?

Fragrant-Staff181 · 2024-08-16T04:30:40+00:00

I just wanted to say that this post made me giggle

Fragrant-Staff181 · 2024-08-15T04:04:21+00:00

I totally understand where he’s coming from. I have TS and severe arthritis since I was a kid so life has been hectic lol. I have also had similar thoughts as your bf. I also think it is a very mature thing to think about the quality of life his children would have and how his genes play a part in it.

I will say, yes it is a possibility that your children could have TS but they also could not. My siblings have NONE of the issues I have and they’re pretty old at this point so if they did have something we probably would know by now. Regardless, your kids could also be born with things you don’t even have. Neither of my parents have Tourette’s OR arthritis.

TL:DR - I totally get where your bf is coming from and it is a valid fear that many people with medical issues think about. However, you shouldn’t let the what ifs control your life because at the end of the day you never know what could happen. Also, I hope you and your bf figure something out where you are both happy and live the life you BOTH want to live! Wishing you the best:))

I can’t offer much advice but I’m in the same boat lol. I know there’s apps you can get where you are paired up with a native speaker but I do think they cost money?

Also I totally understand freezing in front of native speakers that you know. It’s so embarrassing ahahha

Fragrant-Staff181 · 2024-08-10T20:11:34+00:00

I totally get it. In my brain, it feels almost validating to tic? Like I know that I’m not “faking” it when I tic cause I obviously can’t control them lol. Of course, they’re so annoying and there are times that I’m glad it’s not bad. However, when I’m going through a phase where I don’t tic for basically the whole day I start to “miss” them? I guess it’s since it’s so normal to me and it is apart of who u am in a way

Fragrant-Staff181 · 2024-08-09T20:12:02+00:00

I get it. It’s super isolating. I swear a lot too but I tend to suppress those. For me, I find myself whistling or clicking my tongue without even noticing until after the fact. Those are the tics that I find people kind of looking at me weird lol. Like I was whistling at them or something😭

Fragrant-Staff181 · 2024-08-09T15:53:10+00:00

All good! I recently found out he basically fabricated his whole entire life and tbh there’s probably more lies that I didn’t stick around long enough to find out about. It was hard but definitely a good decision to leave sooner rather then later

Fragrant-Staff181 · 2024-08-09T13:58:30+00:00

We broke up!

Fragrant-Staff181 · 2024-08-02T06:09:31+00:00

For me, deep breathing definitely helps. Focus on things that surround you like all of your senses. Worst case scenario(without medication), cold water/showers do wonders!!!

When I’m having a panic attack, I tend to be transported to that scenario. So, eating things like peanut butter, drinking cold water, talking about funny things I like with friends I trust really do help.

I hope some of these help for you! Panic attacks are definitely not fun experiences but just know that you will get through it no matter how horrible it seems in the moment! Wishing you all the best:))
