Thank you so much for taking the time to message me. I am so glad to hear that this blog has helped you 🥺 That’s the whole reason I created it, really.

I’m so sorry to hear that your family doesn’t take you seriously when it comes to tics. I’m not sure what your situation is, but if you’re in any way able to see a specialist who can help you, I’d definitely recommend it. I’m a huge advocate for ticcing rather than holding them back, but when tics are painful it’s a different story. My personal advice is to try and relieve the urge by doing a different, non-painful tic. But I am not a doctor, and you know your body better than anyone.

I totally understand the feeling of shame. It can feel so frustrating to not have control. And even worse when you think you should have control. I’m so glad you’ve been able to accept that you tic, that it’s involuntary, and that that’s okay!!

“Puppet strings” is SUCH a good way to describe it! Sometimes it really does feel like an unseen force is jerking you every which way. What a great metaphor to help explain to others!
