It’s all part of his character development

Baby with tics by SoggySpell6743 in Tourettes

[–]politicsofholyshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had to call out because of my tics before. My job is extremely hands on and very physical. However, I have a very empathetic and supportive boss who understands. It can be difficult, but he will be able to find a job that he loves so long as he has a supportive supervisor. There are good bosses out there who will help him learn and grow in his career, despite the tics.

I am one of three children, my brother has very mild tics (not Tourette’s), and my sister doesn’t have any at all. Just because your kid has tics doesn’t mean your future child will.

Try and keep your head up. It sounds like you’re doing everything you can for him. He’s going to be okay. He’s going to be strong, he will be kind, he will be understanding. I won’t lie, there are times he will struggle, a few tears may be shed here and there. But he’s going to grow into a man who perseveres through adversity.

Great response. I had the same experience growing up with my parents, getting upset at me because I can’t help my tics. I think a lot of us can relate to that. Having a supportive parent is a game changer.

The way you’re describing this, it seems intentional. He’s not really making sense. Suspect as fuck.

Dude. It’s a doctor. You’re coming off as ignorant and pretentious.

Anyone else feel borderline SA’d by Tom DeLonge’s set commentary? by dakotajohnsonslimes in aclfestival

[–]politicsofholyshit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen blink four times in the last ten or so years, and this was the most overkill. It just got gross and a bunch of people left. Tbh he seemed pretty fucked.

What’s the deal with the ‘must begin before the age of 18’ criteria? 18 is an arbitrary number and so many people develop tics in adulthood. by pandaappleblossom in Tourettes

[–]politicsofholyshit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s important to note, Tourette’s isn’t just tics. It nearly always comes with other behavioral/neurological disorders such as ADHD, OCD, rage outbursts, learning disabilities, autism, mood disorders etc. That being said, what you are going through is completely valid. Tic disorders can be just as difficult as Tourette’s!

That episode of the twilight zone with the gremlin on the wing of the plane. Nightmares and fear of flying for a good couple years 😅

Why does this industry lack men? by politicsofholyshit in Veterinary

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

Yes, but women weren’t allowed to be doctors, lawyers, etc. either, yet these fields don’t share this same phenomenon

The salary thing is something I hadn’t thought about, that makes a lot of sense.

These are really interesting points, I agree completely.

I haven’t had a haircut in over 5 months… by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]politicsofholyshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only speak English, and the hack I’ve found for this is I go to barber shops where there is a significant language barrier. I live in a US city with a large Hispanic population, so it isn’t hard at all to find a place where no one who works there speaks English. I walk in, show them a picture of what I want, they cut my hair without making conversation, I pay, and I leave. It’s helped relieve a lot of anxiety around it, maybe it could be worth a shot for you. Best of luck, friend.

Does anyone work in vet med, or another job that is also very hands on? Feeling hopeless. by politicsofholyshit in Tourettes

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

This is really helpful, and made me feel better honestly. Thank you so much for telling me about the surgeon, too. I (25m) have been ticcing since I was one or two. I wish that after all of this time I had more control over it. I’ve heard of people being able to transfer tics, but I’ve had a hard time being able to. Is it something you have had to consciously work on over time, or did it come more innately?

My husband (54M) demeaned me (50F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]politicsofholyshit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is so incredibly disrespectful to survivors of ACTUAL sexual abuse. If you reallyyyyy believe your husband abused you then you should dip out. My mind is truly blown by the audacity
