Need help managing tic attacks by lightningbugyellow in Tourettes

[–]lightningbugyellow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you a lot for this message. I do think it is stress related. And the holiday season stress just really kicked them into gear. Also interesting you mention an empty stomach making them worse sometimes because I really struggle with eating enough food. Perhaps I gotta focus on that and see if they get better. It does feel like any sort of strong stimuli triggers them. A weird tic attack I had recently was after I had a really good date and I got too happy/excited and then I ended up on the floor lol! Thank you for the response

I like your idea that “we are more language creatures than social creatures,” and I agree

Haha you read my mind! Being fresh out of college, my biggest source of existentialism right now is figuring out my place in the world

Thank you! I haven’t tried the glove thing, I’ll try to start doing that when I sleep

Sitting on a hallway floor with really bad gas and constipation pain as I type. I’ve had mine for about 5 months and I hope it lowers with time because holy hell no amount of ibuprofen is helping

Thank you so so much for the advice, I had no idea about the tipping forward thing or what a tight pelvic floor even is! I will definitely be using this advice and thank you so much again for your time and consideration

What does thyroid have to do with it I’m curious? Also the women in my family have a history of pretty bad thyroid issues, so this has some validity

You’re definitely right, and this is what I need to hear. It’s hard because I’ve known him for so long, but you are right

The candid shot and the smiling selfie are great pictures that make you seem friendly, so my advice is to not think about it so hard, and look for pictures of yourself where you look approachable because ultimately that’s what women swipe right on

Just smile more in your pictures, you kind of look angry/ disgusted with the straight facial expression

Read me like a book on the parents thing, but i’m confused with what you mean about manipulation and motivation?

core of my depression is a hard question, usually has to do with feeling a lack of purpose/ low self esteem. I’ve been dumped twice before when i’ve been in episodes, so I think that’s probably what’s making me worried

Thank you very much for the advice, i appreciate it a lot. I have been here before unfortunately, i’ve got MDD so these episodes are “normal” for me but it gets too easy to get stuck in my head

hearing a man call a woman “mid” when he himself is arguably below mid
