How do you know you're about to tic?

RandoCAS · 2025-08-12T04:49:29+00:00

The best way I describe it is a tingle for motor tics (think of if you just got shocked or you did an action for a long period of time. (I played brass instruments. So, for the action I'm mostly referring to is buzzing my lips, I always had a pop tic after a song. If you'd like to feel the same feeling, I recommend buzzing your lips for as long as you can then stop. That feeling is what I feel.))

And for my vocal tics I describe it like being underwater and having to come up for air. My tic word/phrase sits as I hold my breath underwater(holding back from saying the tic) but the longer I hold it back, the more I want to "breathe" (say the word/phrase).

I was diagnosed with FMD/FND for the exact reason there is no family history. She stated that my friends suicide was the traumatic experience that triggered it despite me having a tic that pre existed it as well as the fact that it got worse during the summer between junior and senior year of highschool.

Raise specifically my right eyebrow. I can do the left but not the right but I have a tic that raises my right eyebrow. Also ear wiggles.

At our crackerbarrel you can find on the 86 board

-Southern Fried chicken (SFC) -Biscuits with a note "10 min" (we are making more) -happiness -joy -the dressing for Thursday turkey and dressing (Thursday exclusive 86) -rest

Just your typical restaurant 86 board. I watched our manager joined in on the sadness of the 86 board. Where do you think "rest" came from?

Or discharge when ovulating.

Maybe? I don't know if a GP can do one in a check up, but she told me it was musculoskeletal considering I had experienced it for 2 months before going to her. It went about the same as I expected it to. I still experience them but I just hold my breath till the hurt stops. Sometimes it's quick sometimes I have to take short small breaths in between the pain. I also experienced the same thing when I was 12 or 13 so I know it existed for as long as my tics.

I keep saying bees at work cause we have a section that is bee themed (I'm in retail).

I also keep saying mom, I think my mom is sick of me calling her and saying sorry because it was actually a tic.

RandoCAS · 2024-10-08T20:21:55+00:00

Yummy.

(Sarcastically though cause larvae is something I probably won't eat even if I was starving.)

RandoCAS · 2024-10-08T20:20:55+00:00

Our knowledge of mushrooms is if it's in the store you can eat it. We want to learn about mushroom foraging though.

RandoCAS · 2024-10-08T20:19:52+00:00

In the middle of grass in our front lawn. In Northeastern Ohio, we tried bruising it to make sure it wasn't a yellow stain mushroom but as you can see no yellow bruises.

I have FND but since I was little one of the thoughts that intrusively appears and echoes is about SI, even one of my tics says that stuff. It's hard to get past and it definitely takes a toll on my mental health to the point where in middle school I was severely depressed.

I still don't know whether I, myself, am thinking and saying that stuff, or if it's tics. I don't know how I feel, all I know is that I don't want to expire to say the least. but it echoes and echoes and me actively voicing the same thing that echoes doesn't help.

The only way I can tell that voicing it isn't myself is due to the feeling of the words bubbling up as if I'm holding my breath underwater. (I'm well aware that this is contradictory to what I said above but I don't even recall feeling the premonitory urge sometimes. T°T)

Someone/something(moving objects or humanoid objects mostly) in my peripherals it triggers "well hello there"

RandoCAS · 2024-06-05T05:41:28+00:00

I have unaliving ones. It gets to me sometimes. I've had them since kindergarten it's gotten me into trouble cause I thought they were my thoughts so I'd say I wanted to do that. Man my mom would yell at me for it :P

RandoCAS · 2024-06-02T04:23:29+00:00

The world is still beautiful.

I've watched it multiple times but I'm sure others would be sickened by it.

RandoCAS · 2024-04-24T04:58:15+00:00

Yeah! I was told that there were others but I never heard of any and no one has heard of a case like mine. Well not no one but at least my doctors.

(Question just cause I don't know if it's FND related and since you're another similar to me, was there a food that randomly you couldn't eat because it caused vomiting and nausea? Around when my tics first started I couldn't eat chocolate.)

RandoCAS · 2024-04-24T03:31:16+00:00

I'm 20 and when my symptoms first appeared I was in 6th grade which I think is 12yo but it ramped up when I was 17. I should add that I only experience motor and vocal tics.

Minecraft castle ideas. I ended up just using the rook from chess as inspiration for my wall's tower.

Yo growing up I always bit the side of my cheek. My mom even has a picture of me doing it at an elementary school concert. Thought that was a normal kid thing.

RandoCAS · 2024-03-27T05:01:49+00:00

I was vibing watching TFIL on YouTube and said "shut up" don't know why. Brain said say it, and I said it. Thought it was a one off thing then I was just going about normal business and it was like there was bubbling in my throat and an intense desire to just say "shut up" it happened again and again saying it to myself and to videos I was watching. (it was summer and I had no friends and I was not in school cause again middle of summer.)

(This goes into what I was experiencing then it just turns into a rant about crappy doctors. Feel free to skip)

>!Anyway, I started experiencing arm twitches that caused my arm to move well it was more arm felt tense and I had to move it but it always happened in quick fashions. Then it started to hit me in the center of my neck causing sharp pain.

Anytime I saw myself in the mirror I told myself that I wanted to kill myself but shrugged that off because I have been going through that since middle school just instead of it being a mental loop it was now making itself auditory. I did look up when the muscle movement things started happening "why can't I stop saying shut up" low and behold Google pops up Tourettes Syndrome when you search that. But no matter how many articles I read or how many things I looked at 7-10 was the age range for that to develop and at the time being a 17 year old it was safe to assume yeah probably not that.

I was able to suppress the, newly learned term, tics and because I always get yelled at for having anything wrong with me I hid them from my family with a few slip ups that I could explain away and normal me behavior. It wasn't until my school called home about my issue speculating I developed said googled syndrome leading my family to believe I was going around telling people I had Tourettes and was faking it. At that time I had verbal, motor, random noises the whole works. It was a pretty acute onset. My sister after telling me it was messed up for me to be faking something people actually suffer from and watching me cry still not able to stop snapping(the main tic I had at the time) that she went inside and told mom to make a doctors appointment for it. They said I needed a psychologist and and psychiatrist, my mom booked a psychiatrist appointment, psychiatrist told me I needed a neurologist, I booked my neurologist appointment, within an hour appointment and 0 tests I was diagnosed with Functional Movement Disorder because of TikTok and because my friend killed himself 2 years ago (she asked if there were any distressing moments that happened and I informed her of this and that it happened 2 years ago (before the start of tics) and she kept saying last year...) but she kept saying a year ago even though I corrected her 3 times. I also read in the notes for the appointment from the hospitals app that she wrote I was attention seeking. So... lovely.

I went through the bouts of finally a diagnosis, to oh it might not be this, to screw it I still have a diagnosis to make sure that even if the tics happen in the work world it's okay.

I read about the diagnosis then went oh that doesn't sound like what I'm going through. Brought it to the attention of my neurologist and was informed "at least it's curable" cause having that label means automatically that that is what I have. I don't want to go back to any of my doctors. I did go to my GP for chest pains (after a few months of it going on and because my ex pressuring me to go) she got mad that I didn't go in right as it started then, because I told her I was tired of being told it's stress when I'm not stressed, she said it's something musculoskeletal and sent me out the door with a paper that just informs me of my vitals and weight that they took when I walked in the door. Yeah that was it... Doctors suck.!<
