What's a weird fact about you?

Here's one of mine: I didn't even try to swim or ride a bike until I'd studied others doing it for so long I knew with 100% certainty I would succeed on my first try.

I have tourette's
LordBarbossa · 36-40, T
@Cigarguy that's interresting. What type? What are your triggers and how do you react?
Cigarguy · M
@LordBarbossa I have both vocal outbursts and movement tics. Most facial tics arm movements and pacing. I never know what my vocal outburst will be. I I have them all the time but stress and Anxiety makes them worse so does being tired or hungry
LordBarbossa · 36-40, T
@Cigarguy are your vocal outbursts random, or do they contain a lot of swears? Or maybe a combo?
Cigarguy · M
@LordBarbossa they they are random and yes sometimes they do contain swear words sometimes I repeat something I hear or a sound I hear. It is very annoying
LordBarbossa · 36-40, T
@Cigarguy is there anything you can do to make the tics less severe or frequent?
Cigarguy · M
@LordBarbossa I'm working with a neurologist now and I'm trying some medicines and theory but it's a lot of work and sometimes I should of been doing when I was much younger.

@Cigarguy don't focus on "if I were younger"
Focus on "better late than never" and appreciate the fsct you're able to try those things out in your lifetime. Not only for you, but for those who come after you.


Does that make sense?
Cigarguy · M
@LordBarbossa yes it does. Very much. I will probably always have tics and outbursts but hopefully I will be able to learn how to redirect them to something less noticeable the biggest one we're trying to get rid of is my pacing. It is a very annoying and obnoxious tic that I have to do.

@Cigarguy From what I gather from your posts, you're doing well in spite of the tics tho. That's good, and you deserve it.
Cigarguy · M
@LordBarbossa thank you that is very kind of you to say.
