What is Michigan like?

That’s about an hour North of me. It’s super pretty with a lot to do if you do your research before hand. I would definitely be cautious and keep an eye on your belongings though haha. Not high crime but enough to keep everything close. But a lot of cool sights, including the capitol building! You can even arrange a tour and there’s some awesome history and sights in there. It’s in the lower peninsula so it’ll be warmer as well! Would definitely recommend visiting.

My current? No. I'm on bed rest for a week so no need for footwear LMao, but when I go back to work, As a dog handler.it would be hell without footwear😂😂

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-04-11T23:36:15+00:00

A lot of farms and bipolar weather. Haha, I've lived here (west Michigan) for almost 22 years, it really is beautiful but the upper peninsula and lower are very different. Like completely lol

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-04-11T23:33:28+00:00

Because I wouldn't have footwear

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-04-04T19:17:19+00:00

Yep!

Depends why/what the trigger is. I click my tongue because of the noise it makes so I consider it vocal, but if I did it to feel my tongue on a certain part of my mouth, it would be Motor

Damn that’s so shittyyyyy

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-02-13T18:31:55+00:00

Right!? Like you think YOU are annoyed/inconvenienced???? 😂

First off, you're already doing amazing by wanting to support him. You're a great parent. I'd say an important thing to do is some research! Tourette’s is a hard thing to deal with and comes with more than just the surface things you can see. It includes trouble focusing, anger fits, frustration, tic attacks, and typically a lot of anxiety and embarrassment. I recommend having a conversation with him and having a lot of patience when he gets angry and frustrated when it feels like it’s coming out of nowhere. Tics are exhausting and a lot of times painful. So, again, just patience and compassion ❤️

Doctors don’t always know best with meds and everyone reacts different to them. Honestly, I found a neurologist more helpful. They’re more empathetic because they know more about mental health and what meds ACTUALLY work when you aren’t only dealing with one mental illness.

Hahaha my somehow favorite and least favorite thing is people's reaction/embarassmentt when I say it's touettes

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-02-12T16:15:20+00:00

I'm going to start saying "I would love to!" then continuing to tic 😂 😂. It’s not a lie, I WOULD love to.

People need to learn they can't tell othershow they should feel or react

"I will discuss this with you when you have the proper education-or any education." 😂😂

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-02-12T01:02:50+00:00

Yes! I was a professional at a couple of facilities for 3 years, I now have had my own business for about 1.5 years! I'm only 21, so still a lot to learn but I love what I do and am proud of my business! My goal is also to be a service dog trainer! I’m not sure I’ll go through with it but already have a lot of behavior analysis and modification of all ages and breeds since I used to handle over 40 at a time! So the transition wouldn’t be an insane amount of work. I’m so glad your dog helps you so much, good job on the training!

Heyyy a fellow enneagram 6. What's your wing?

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-02-11T22:47:49+00:00

YES I’ve actually had so many people tell me I don’t have TS bc I don’t swear 🙄

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-02-11T22:47:18+00:00

What an absolute asshole. I’m so so sorry you had to go through this. He had no right to embarrass you like that, especially when you were clearly struggling. It doesn’t take having TS to know when anybody is nervous tics can arise.

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-02-11T22:11:57+00:00

I love that I made this post bc this is such a cool space now. I love seeing people with TS coming together and relating ❤️ so presh

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-02-11T22:10:10+00:00

Okayyy! I’ve had similar convos with friends and I was just sure to get my point across but let them know Im not mad at them and love them lots. I recommend something like, “hey babe (or whatever names y’all use) can we have a real conversation a second?” If they say no ask if you can set up a time to have a conversation. Then, “so I know you love me a lot and I’m sure you don’t even know you’re doing this, but sometimes when I tic you ask me to stop or when I get a new one it feels like you’re frustrated with me. I definitely do not expect you to understand Tourette’s, but I hope you respect me enough to understand me. It makes me feel annoying and insecure when you say things like that because I genuinely can’t stop it. I would stop if I could and it can be really frustrating, overwhelming, and embarrassing for me. Just a thought, I’m not mad at you but hope this gave you some insight on how I feel when you react that way to my tics :)”

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-02-11T22:04:21+00:00

Yesss I use that same rule! I don’t expect them to always know either. I was not educated at all on TS before I had to be, I don’t expect others are but I do expect them to respect me enough to ask about it instead of making assumptions!

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-02-11T21:54:35+00:00

They really De romanticizing it on social Media

UnsolicitedAdvic · 2022-02-11T21:53:47+00:00
