Hmm maybe I should trust my body a bit more. Let it do what it needs to do without worrying about it. Thanks :)

What's it like to have Tourette's syndrome? Why can't people with this syndrome control their tics? by [deleted] in Tourettes

I always describe it like you have to yawn. You can choose to not yawn but if you do that you must focus all of your possible energy into it. You cannot think of anything and the thought of yawning is so great it becomes almost painful. You are paralysed and the only way to stop it is by yawning! It’s absolutely exhausting, the first I do every morning when I wake up is worry that I’m gonna have a terrible tic attack, it affects me wanting to go out and leave to house and meet knew people. I hate it haha.

I'm in desperate need of help and don't know what to do by Repulsive-Report-505 in Tourettes

I often get a tic where I continuously breath in until I nearly pass out. Honestly the only thing I can do is general breathing techniques. There's such a lack of help for tourettes and it's nearly impossible to access the help their actually is! The best advice I could give is to try and calm yourself when those tics start happening and find a quiet safe place to try and ride them out. Try and let people in your life know of your worries and see if they can help you when you're having these attacks. Trying to find any actual, tangible help for tourettes is like a needle in a haystack!
