Note

hello!! so i know ive never sent in an ask/request but.. ive been following you for a while and i love your writing style!! so i was wondering if youd be comfortable writing something where the mc/reader has tourettes syndrome? as someone who has tics it makes me lowkey sad that i never see any fics that represent that :/ (i think ive maybe read one..) so if youre comfortable with this sort of thing i have 2 scenarios that i was thinking of!!

texts with fem!reader where maybe a friend was trying to set a skz member and reader on a date and reader gets insecure thinking that he might not like her cause of her tics or think its weird? a little angst moment w a happy ending ofc :p

or headcanons/drabble of how you think a skz member(s) would be with an s/o that has tics? how they would handle tic attacks and such yk?

these are just suggestions ofc if you decide to do a reader w tics feel free to do whatever you feel like!! also i have no specific member i prefer just do whoever you see fit! or even ot8 :o

this was longer than i wanted it to be.. im so sorry :(… i love you tho and hope u have a great day/night!

(stay hydrated, you matter <3)

when i got this rec i immediately started working on it, because i think its important for people to know that they are seen. and if through one of my works i could help someone feel seen and cared for than thats what i want to do! in all honesty, i had to do a little research to better understand how to do my best to accurately represent TS; and i know it isn't perfect, but i hope it can at least be enough :) i hope you don't mind I kind of merged both of your ideas, since it came to my mind when i read through this request, and i think its a fun and wholesome way of showcasing this beautiful part about you. i know it must be extremley hard dealing with tourettes, as i've seen it in others lives, and it sometimes might be seen as a hinderance- but you were made this way with purpose, and i don't think that tourettes or anything of the sort should be seen as something ugly- but rather something that shaoes you and makes you you. i know that might seem cliche, but i beleive that differences are what what make people beautiful and i hope with these fics that shines thorugh <3 enjoy!!!

When Their Blind Date Has Tourettes Syndrome | 3Racha

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics. These tics can be motor (such as blinking, head jerking, or facial grimaces) or vocal (such as grunting, throat clearing, or involuntary words or phrases). The severity and frequency of tics can vary greatly from person to person. TS often begins in childhood, and while symptoms can improve with age, they may persist into adulthood. The exact cause is unknown, but genetics and environmental factors are believed to play a role. The condition can often accompanied by other issues like ADHD or OCD.

Warnings: cursing

Chan

The café was quiet, the kind of serene setting perfect for a blind date. But you couldn’t fully enjoy it- not with your nerves tangled like this.

When Chan arrived, his easy smile and warm energy made it a little easier to breathe, though the thought of what could go wrong lingered at the back of your mind.

He approached with a casual wave, his hoodie slightly oversized, making him look more approachable than you’d expected. “Y/N?” he asked, his Australian accent soft and cozy.

“That’s me,” you replied, your voice steadier than you felt.

“And I’m Chan,” he introduced himself, sliding into the seat across from you. “It’s nice to finally meet you.”

“Yeah, same.” You smiled, tugging at the sleeve of your sweater.

The conversation started smoothly, easing into topics about work, hobbies, and mutual friends who had set you two up. But as your tics began surfacing- little jerks of your head, accompanied by muttered syllables- you noticed Chan’s gaze shift slightly. It wasn’t discomfort or judgment, though; it was curiosity, an openness that surprised you.

When a loud, unexpected swear escaped your lips- "Fuck! Shit!"- the words hanging awkwardly between you, your stomach dropped. The moment you’d dreaded was here. You braced yourself, heart racing.

“I…I should explain,” you started, your words hurried. “I have Tourette’s, and- uh - its the coprolalia kind." You laughed nervously. "It’s not all the time, but sometimes - goddammit - I just…swear. I promise I’m not trying to - fucking asshole - be rude or anything. I'm just involuntarily profane on occasion." You finshed with a click of your tongue.

Chan’s eyes softened, his brow furrowing slightly. “Y/N,” he said, his tone light, “you don’t need to apologize. Like you said, it’s not something you can control.”

“I just- I know it can be a lot,” you admitted, your voice wavering. “And I don’t want to mess this up, but…this is part of me, and I can’t always- ” Another tic interrupted you, louder this time. “Fucking hell!” The words burst out, and you winced, unable to stop yourself. “I already really like you,” you confessed in a rush, voice quieter now, “But if this is too much…”

Chan reached out across the table, his hand brushing yours gently. “Hey, Y/N, look at me.” His voice was soft but firm, grounding you. “It’s not too much, okay? You’re amazing, and this doesn’t change that.”

“But what if it gets worse?” you asked, the fear evident in your tone.

He smiled, leaning back in his chair. “Then I guess I’ll have to work on not laughing when you curse better than I do.” He commented, his dimple visible. He tilted his head playfully. “I mean, you’ve already got me beat. I can’t even cuss in my songs unless it’s wordplay.”

Despite yourself, a surprised laugh escaped your lips. The tension eased just a little, the weight of the moment lifting as you realized he wasn’t just accepting- he was embracing this part of you.

The rest of the date was easier after that. You talked about your favorite shows, your shared love of music, and even a bit about his work. But later, as you both stood at the café counter to pay, things took a turn.

A customer bumped into you, and you immediately spun to apologize.

“Oh I'm so- Asshole! Sorry, fuck!” The words tumbled out in quick succession, your face paling as the man turned to glare at you.

“What did you just say to me?” he demanded, his voice rising.

“I- I didn’t mean to!” you stammered, panic setting in as another tic followed. “Shut up! Oh my god, bitch fuck!”

“Are you kidding me?” The man stepped closer, anger flashing in his eyes.

Before you could respond, Chan was at your side, his presence a solid wall of protection. “Hey, back off,” he said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument. “She has Tourette’s. She didn’t mean it.”

The man scoffed. “Right, sure.”

Chan squared his shoulders, his expression calm but unyielding. “You heard me. She can’t control it. Now, do you want to keep making a scene, or are you going to walk away?”

After a moment of tense silence, the man muttered something under his breath and turned away. Chan stayed by your side, his hand brushing the small of your back as he looked at you. “You okay?”

Tears welled in your eyes, but you nodded, feeling both overwhelmed and touched by his defense. “I’m sorry,” you whispered.

“Don’t be.” He smiled softly, brushing a tear from your cheek with his thumb. “You don’t have to apologize for being you, Y/N.”

As you left the café together, the cool night air brushed against your face, but it didn’t feel as sharp as it had earlier. Not with Chan walking beside you, his presence steady and comforting. You looked at him, your heart full, and wondered if this was what it felt like to be truly understood.

“You know,” Chan said, breaking the silence with a teasing grin, “If I ever need someone for creative adlibs, I think you’ve got a solid resume.”

You burst into laughter, the sound blending with the night, and for the first time in a long time, you felt like it was okay to just be you.

As you walked side by side down the quiet street, the tension from earlier melted away into a comfortable silence. Chan glanced at you, the way the faint glow of the streetlights caught in your hair and softened the nervous creases in your expression. He felt a quiet sense of awe settle in his chest, like he’d stumbled upon something rare and precious without even realizing it.

You were real- messy and raw and unapologetically yourself in ways that left him both grounded and inspired. He admired the way you carried the weight of your tics with grace, even when the world pushed back harder than it should. And now, as your laughter from his earlier joke faded into the stillness, he realized something else: he didn’t want this to be a fleeting moment or a passing chapter.

Chan could see it- a future where he was by your side, learning every part of what made you you. A future where he’d be the one to hold your hand during hard days and celebrate the victories that came your way. The thought both terrified and thrilled him, but as he glanced down at you, your soft smile easing the ache of your earlier tears, he couldn’t imagine wanting anything else.

"Y/N," he said softly, his voice breaking through the quiet. "Thanks for letting me see this side of you tonight. I mean it- it makes me want to stick around."

You looked at him, surprised by the sincerity in his tone, but the warmth in his gaze left no room for doubt. And as you continued walking together into the night, your heart felt just a little lighter, the first stirrings of something new and hopeful beginning to take root.

Changbin

Changbin had been skeptical about the blind date from the start. His friends had teased him relentlessly, insisting he needed to “put himself out there,” and while he’d grumbled about it, here he was. Standing in line at the movie theater, his phone buzzed with a quick text confirming you’d arrived.

When his eyes met yours across the crowded lobby, his breath caught. You were standing near the concessions, shifting nervously on your feet as you looked around. There was something endearingly hesitant about the way you tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, like you were steeling yourself.

"Hi," you greeted softly when he approached, offering a shy smile. Your voice was gentle but warm, and it immediately put him at ease.

“Hey,” he replied, his grin spreading easily. “You must be Y/N.”

As you nodded, a quick, staccato whistle broke through the air- a sound you made involuntarily. It was followed by a soft “meow” and an apologetic wince on your part.

“I’m sorry,” you said quickly, your gaze darting to his face as if bracing for judgment.

Changbin tilted his head slightly, his expression curious but kind. “Did you just...meow?” A musical sound lilted amusingly at the end of his sentence.

Your cheeks flushed. “I- um- I have Tourette’s,” you explained in a rush, your words tumbling over each other. “I can’t always control my tics, and sometimes they’re, uh…kind of random. Like the meowing. Or…” You paused as another whistle slipped out, followed by a faint, high-pitched “boo!”

For a moment, he just blinked at you, then broke into a wide smile. “In all honesty...that’s kind of adorable. You’re like a sound effects board.”

Your jaw dropped slightly, caught off guard by his response. “You don’t think it’s… weird?”

He shrugged, his gaze warm and steady. “Everyone’s got their quirks. Yours just happen to make you sound like a cartoon character, and honestly, I think that’s awesome.”

Relief flooded your features, and your shoulders relaxed slightly. “Most people don’t really see it that way.”

“Well, most people are missing out.” He shot you a playful wink, and when you laughed, the tension in the air dissolved.

The two of you fell into an easy rhythm as you moved through the line, chatting about everything from favorite movies to your shared love of snacks. Changbin couldn’t help but notice how your tics- whistles, squeaks, and the occasional unexpected phrase- seemed to punctuate your sentences like exclamation points.

“Honestly,” he said at one point, his tone teasing, “your tics match my cute energy, don't you think?” He said poking his cheek in mock aegeyo. "It's babygirl heaven, don't you think?"

You laughed so hard at that, you nearly dropped your drink. “I cannot believe you just said that.”

He grinned, pleased with himself. “What can I say? Its the truth.”

But as you approached the counter to pick up your popcorn, the mood shifted. A group of teens standing nearby had been snickering quietly, but their whispers grew louder when one of your tics- a sudden, sharp “woof!” -rang out.

“Did she just bark?” one of them muttered, barely concealing a laugh.

Another chimed in, mockingly imitating the sound.

Your cheeks flushed, and you quickly turned away, mumbling an apology to the cashier as another tic- this time a chirped “uh-oh!”- slipped out. The laughter from the group grew louder, and you visibly flinched, trying to shrink into yourself.

Before you could even process what was happening, Changbin stepped forward, his voice cutting through the commotion like a blade. “Hey, is there a problem?”

The teens fell silent, their smug grins faltering under the weight of his glare.

“Because if there is,” he continued, his tone calm but laced with steel, “I suggest you take a good, long look at yourselves and figure out why you think laughing at someone for something they can’t control makes you feel better about your own lives.”

One of them opened their mouth to respond, but the words seemed to die on their tongue as Changbin took a deliberate step closer, his presence suddenly towering despite his shorter frame.

“Thought so,” he said, his smile tight and unyielding. “Now, if you’ll excuse us.”

He turned back to you, his expression softening immediately. “You okay?”

Your throat felt tight, but you managed a nod, blinking back the sting of tears. “Yeah. I just…I’m embarrassed.”

“Embarrassed? For what?” His brow furrowed in genuine confusion.

“For causing a scene. For…” You hesitated, your voice breaking slightly. “For being a lot.”

Changbin’s expression softened, but his voice was steady and firm as he rested his hand gently on your arm, grounding you. “Y/N, you are just you. And anyone who can’t see how amazing that is doesn’t deserve your time, okay?”

The sincerity in his voice was overwhelming, his gaze so earnest it made your chest ache. For a moment, all you could do was nod, your chest tightening with a mix of gratitude and something deeper you couldn’t quite name.

As the two of you settled into your seats in the theater, he handed you your drink, his shoulder brushing yours in a way that felt both casual and deliberate. He leaned closer, his tone warm and teasing. "Like I said, I think your tics are adorable. And with a face like yours, I don't think any tic could be ugly or embarrassing."

Your laugh bubbled out, soft and genuine, and his grin widened. The tension you’d been carrying began to ease, replaced by a quiet sense of comfort.

Throughout the movie, you couldn’t help but notice the way he’d glance at you when you laughed at a scene or leaned forward slightly during an intense moment. It wasn’t just the movie holding his attention- it was you.

And Changbin knew it. With every glance, every tiny movement you made, he felt his resolve strengthening. He didn’t just want to spend the evening with you; he wanted to be part of your life in every way. He wanted to learn all the things that made you laugh, what made your eyes light up, what brought out the quiet confidence he’d glimpsed earlier.

He wanted to be the person you trusted with every part of yourself, the one who reminded you how extraordinary you were even when you couldn’t see it.

When the credits rolled, he stayed seated for a moment, turning to face you as you stretched and looked over at him. His chest tightened as he saw the way your smile hesitated, like you weren’t sure he’d want to stick around for more.

But he did. He wanted everything.

“How about dinner?” he asked, his words quick but hopeful. “I mean…if you’re up for it. I’d really like to keep talking to you. About anything. Everything.” His voice softened, carrying a weight of sincerity that made your breath catch. “I want to know you, Y/N. All of you.”

Your cheeks warmed, and a smile broke across your face, shy but unguarded. “I’d like that.”

As the two of you walked out of the theater, the night air felt lighter, the buzz of the world around you fading into the background. Changbin fell into step beside you, his shoulder brushing yours again.

Then, without hesitation, he reached out, his hand slipping into yours. His touch was gentle but firm, grounding, like he wanted to hold onto you in every way.

Your fingers curled around his, and when you glanced up, his smile softened, his dark eyes brimming with something you couldn’t quite name.

In that moment, Changbin wasn’t just thinking about the next date or the night ahead. He was thinking about the way you made his heart race, the way you made him feel alive in a way he hadn’t realized he was missing.

He wanted more of this- more of you. Not just tonight, not just a few dates, but always. And as his thumb brushed lightly over the back of your hand, he realized one thing: he didn’t just want you around. He wanted you in his life, forever.

And he was so happy he didn't say no to this blind date.

Han

Han Jisung had never considered himself the blind-date type. He liked to think of himself as spontaneous, sure- but not this kind of spontaneous. Yet, here he was, bundled in his favorite oversized hoodie, leaning against the railing of the city’s rooftop garden, waiting for a stranger.

When he saw you, his first thought was that his friend had undersold this whole setup. You weren’t at all what he expected- not that he knew what to expect. You were a breathtaking kind of pretty. And Han's heart flipped his chest.

You walked up with a careful sort of confidence, clutching the strap of your tote bag, your breath misting in the cool night air.

“Hi,” you greeted with a shy smile, your head tilting slightly as you blinked rapidly, followed by a quick jerk of your shoulder.

“Hi,” Jisung replied, pretending not to notice. He already felt his nerves settle slightly. There was something about you that felt...real.

Your mutual friend had mentioned you liked quiet settings, so instead of a loud restaurant or café, the garden had seemed like a good idea. Jisung gestured to the path leading further into the rooftop greenery. “Shall we walk?”

You nodded, your steps matching his, though every few strides you tapped your fingers against your leg. A small tic, but it was constant, like a rhythm you needed to keep.

The conversation started slow. Typical blind-date awkwardness lingered, but Jisung’s natural humor quickly worked its way in. He made a joke about the chilly weather, earning a laugh from you that felt like a little victory.

“So,” he began after a lull, “what’s your favorite thing to do in the city? Or are you more of a stay-home-and-chill type?”

“I like to stay in most days,” you admitted, tilting your head again as your hand briefly flicked out to your side. “I guess I’m more introverted. But when I do go out, I like quieter places…like this.”

“Good choice,” Jisung agreed, kicking the ground nervously. “Crowds are overrated anyway.”

You laughed softly, but your shoulders twitched again, more pronounced this time. You tried to suppress it, but Jisung caught the way your hand clenched slightly afterward, as if bracing yourself.

As the walk continued, your tics became more noticeable- a rapid blinking, a jerk of your wrist, the occasional tap of your foot on the pavement mid-stride. You hesitated for a moment before stopping by a bench, your hand brushing against your hair as you looked at the ground.

“Hey,” you said, your voice quieter now, “I think I should tell you something.”

Jisung turned to face you, his brow furrowed in concern. “What’s up?”

“I have Tourette’s,” you explained, your tone steady but guarded. “It’s not super severe, I've learned to live with it most days, but…I wanted to mention it in case…” You trailed off, your hand twitching slightly toward your chest before falling back to your lap.

“In case what?” Jisung asked gently.

“In case it’s…too much.”

For a moment, Jisung stared at you, his face unreadable. You wondered if you’d just ruined the evening. But then he spoke, his voice tinged with disbelief.

“Too much? Are you kidding? I can be a lot. Like, ask anyone.”

You blinked at him, caught off guard by his lighthearted tone.

“I mean, seriously,” he continued, gesturing wildly for emphasis. “I talk way too much when I’m nervous, I lose stuff constantly, and don’t even get me started on how clumsy I am. If anyone’s a walking chaos machine, it’s me.”

You laughed softly, but it didn’t last long. Your shoulder jerked twice, quickly followed by an involuntary flick of your hand. You sighed, your lips trembling slightly as you looked away. “But it’s not just that, Jisung,” you muttered, your voice breaking slightly. “I… I don’t want to mess this up.”

His teasing grin faded, replaced by a look of concern. “Mess what up?”

“This,” you whispered, blinking rapidly as tears welled in your eyes. “You’re so nice, and I already really like you, but then there’s… me. My tics. It’s not just that I get nervous; it’s that I can’t stop it. And I hate thinking that it might make people uncomfortable, even if they don’t mean for it to.”

Your words spilled out faster than you could stop them, and you quickly wiped at your eyes, frustrated with yourself. “I don’t want to scare you away. But I…I don’t know how not to. Everyone else has been scared away before- but you seem really nice and I actually feel something and I don't want to put hope into something that-”

Jisung felt his chest tighten at your words. Without thinking, he dropped down to sit beside you on the bench, interupting you, his tone soft but firm. “Hey, hey, don’t cry. Please don’t cry.”

You shook your head, a small, bitter laugh slipping out. “Sorry, I’m just…making this worse, aren't I?” You flicked your hand out again, accidentally slapping Han.

“No,” he said quickly. “No, you’re not. I mean it.”

When you didn’t respond, Jisung hesitated before reaching out, his hand hovering awkwardly near your shoulder. “Can I…?”

You nodded, and he gently rested his hand there, his thumb brushing lightly against the fabric of your coat. “Listen,” he began, “I don’t know who made you think you had to be scared of people running away from you being you, but they’re wrong. You’re…you’re great. And brave, too, for being so honest about this. I admire that.”

You blinked at him through your tears, caught off guard by the sincerity in his voice. You hand jerked out, but this time he caught it, intertwining his fingers with yours.

“And honestly?” he continued, a small smile tugging at his lips, as he rubbed his hands over your manicured nails. “You’re not scaring me away. Like, at all. If anything, you’re just making me want to know you better.”

You let out a shaky breath, his words sinking in slowly but surely. “Really?”

“Really,” he confirmed, his eyes crinkling with warmth. “And besides, I kind of suck at running, Like really really suck. I trip more than I actually run.”

A soft laugh escaped you then, the tension in your chest easing for the first time that evening. “You’re kind of amazing, you know that?”

Jisung’s cheeks flushed pink, but he shrugged playfully. “I mean, I try.”

The rest of the night felt lighter. The two of you walked through the garden, Han's hand still in yours, your tics still present but no longer a source of discomfort. Every now and then, Jisung would glance at you- never with pity, but with curiosity and something warmer, softer.

As the two of you stopped at the edge of the rooftop, overlooking the twinkling lights below, Jisung turned to you with a thoughtful expression.

“You know,” he said, his voice softer now, “I think this is my favorite blind date ever.”

You raised an eyebrow. “How many have you been on?”

“This is my first,” he admitted with a sheepish laugh, scratching the back of his neck. “But still! It’s gonna be hard to top…”

You raised an eyebrow, giving him an amused look.

“Not that I want it to be topped,” he continued quickly, a bit flustered. “I always kind of figured I’d be a one-and-done deal. Like my first is my last...and, I mean, it might be way too soon to say, but I think I lucked out with you…I kind of just feel it.”

You rolled your eyes, but a smile couldn’t help but tug at your lips.

“Really, though,” Jisung added, his gaze earnest, eyes softening. “I had a great time tonight. And…if you’re up for it, I’d like to properly date you...”

“Even with my…” You gestured vaguely, your voice trailing off.

"Because of it," he corrected gently, his voice soft but unwavering. His eyes searched yours, full of warmth and something deeper that made your breath catch. "It's part of you- every piece of it. And I don’t just like who you are…I can easily see myself fall for you."

His words hung in the cool night air, wrapping around you like a tender embrace. For a moment, you couldn’t speak, your heart pounding so fiercely it was a wonder he couldn’t hear it.

“Jisung…” you murmured, your voice shaky but full of emotion.

He smiled, that familiar sheepish tilt to his lips, but his gaze stayed steady, unwavering in its honesty. “I don’t want this to be just a ‘one and done’ date. I want to keep getting to know you. To see where this could go. So that maybe you can be my one and done person.”

Your lips curved into a soft smile, your chest tightening with something you hadn’t dared to hope for. “Okay,” you whispered, the word carrying more weight than you expected. “I’d like that too.”

His grin widened, and the way he looked at you in that moment- like you were the only person in the world- made you feel like you could get used to this, to him, far too easily.

An Explanation of the Diagnostic Criteria of Tourette Disorder (Tourette Syndrome)

Tourette Syndrome is one of five tic disorders (including Other Specified and Unspecified tic disorders), and the five tic disorders are the only disorders that can cause tics. In order to be diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, one must meet all four criteria (A, B, C, and D).

A. Both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics have been present at some time during the illness, although not necessarily concurrently.

A tic is defined by the DSM-5 as "a sudden, rapid, recurrent, nonrhythmic motor movement or vocalization." Tics can be as simple as blinks and coughs or as complex as elaborate body positioning and long phrases.

Individuals who have tics occasionally experience a "premonitory urge" that happens before a tic occurs. Premonitory urges are difficult to explain because they differ from person to person; some describe them as an itch that can only be scratched by letting the tic out. Premonitory urges and suppressability of tics are what make tics less involuntary and more unvoluntary.

Tics can be difficult to differentiate from motor stereotypies and other involuntary movements, so consultation with a doctor is recommended if you suspect you are experiencing tics.

B. The tics may wax and wane in frequency but have persisted for more than 1 year since first tic onset.

Children with tic disorders often start ticcing in early childhood, but tics can be easily ignored or misdiagnosed depending on the tic (OP's tics were missed because it was assumed that he had a chronic cough for most of his childhood).

Tics come and go (wax and wane) in frequency and intensity. This does not mean a person's tics have "gone away," and mentioning that someone's tics have been less intense can actually make their tics worse. The only requirement for diagnosis is that tics must be present for more than a year (intensity and duration are not specified).

An example of this is a person who started ticcing around age 8, whose tics were extremely subtle and mostly motor until about age 15, when they became much more intense and numerous (OP's experience).

C. Onset is before age 18 years.

The individual's first documented or acknowledged tic was before age 18, even if the individual is over 18 when being evaluated.

It is important to note that there is currently discussion about changing the cutoff age to 21.

D. The disturbance is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g., cocaine) or another medical condition (e.g., Huntington’s disease, postviral encephalitis).

As mentioned in criterion A, it is important to consult a professional to better be able to differentiate between tics and other involuntary movements.

This criterion is mostly self-explanatory, although it is important to note that feminine presenting individuals are often diagnosed with FND instead of Tourette due to medical sexism and biases in diagnosis.

Some other information in the DSM-5 that may be of interest:

Some motor tics can be slower twisting or tightening movements that occur over varying lengths of time (these may be referred to as dystonic tics).

First onset of tics is often between the ages of 4-6; tics often peak around 10-12 years and then gradually decline as the individual gets older (this is a generalization, many people with Tourette Syndrome and other tic disorders will not relate to this timeline).

All information for this post came from the DSM-5-TR as well as anecdotal experiences from OP and others with tic disorders on social media.

i genuinely think i have tourettes.

i have always had both motor and vocal tics, but not as severe as a lot of tourettes influencers have, so i think thats why i have always denied having it and thought it was just a nervous tic

but it is every day of my life. sometimes they go away for a couple years, but when they come back, they're annoying, embarrassing, physically difficult, it's so hard

not many people take mine seriously, even though it can really distress me sometimes (like when i have to clear my throat so much that i can't breathe, and i have even choked on food because of a certain throat tic i have (i have to suck in through my nose and into my throat and do a very light snort sound. its so embarrassing) and it has made me choke numerous times)

i have been bullied for it (by other special education kids. sure, they were more behavioral like i was, but you would think that they would understand a bit more because they are around other disabled people.)

i can't get a diagnosis for it, because i'm terrified of talking about my mental health to my family, even though it's not directly mental health (but mental health can absolutely influence tourettes and how severe they can get)

anyways, here's a list of my tics. if you do these a lot for over a year, you most likely have a tic disorder (such as persistent vocal tic or persistent motor tic. if it's both, then it's tourettes). mine are pretty common besides some patterns i do when im nervous or i get reminded of tics (yes, reminding people of tics makes them really focused on their own, which makes them act up)

scrunching my nose (either one side or both sides, but it was mostly my left nostril)

throat clearing (the fucking worst one that i have because its so loud, it affects my breathing because i cant stop clearing my throat until im genuinely about to suffocate. was bullied a shit ton for this one)

slight snorting (as stated above. more of an embarrassing noise for me but thankfully this one didnt start until i was out of high school)

furrowing my brows (it made my face muscles ache since i don't really use my eye brows for facial expressions (autism))

twitching my neck

making a slight "laser beam" noise. but it's in a way where my facial muscles feel correct when i do it. i really squeeze my mouth to say it.

popping my lips

clicking my tongue

and my silly /j pattern is: laser beam with a twitch of my neck at the same time, followed by one pop, two clicks of my tongue, and one last pop

i only really do the pattern when im super nervous or when im reminded that tics exist and that i have them (and obviously, i should be super aware of them /sar)

My OSDD Medical Recognition Process

I've had this on my mind a lot lately so I figured I'd yap about it. I was medically recognized with OSDD in 2022*, when I was 15 years old. By this point, I'd been on/off seeing a therapist via my school's partnership with multiple licensed therapists for a few years. This therapist was the same one that diagnosed me with gender dysphoria and persistant depression when I was 12-13, in 8th grade.

"That's such an early age to get such severe diagnoses!!" I was forcibly put in therapy multiple times against my mom's will because my teachers could see how troubled I was. I was a problem child and displayed severe mental illness symptoms from a young age. I'm kinda that "exception rare case" people talk about offhandedly like those people don't actually exist. I was in special ed for 5 years for behavior issues, I went to an alternative school for a while, I'm not just some random average student recieving multiple diagnoses at a young age for no reason.

*Anyway. Retelling this story actually made me realize my timeline was off about when I discovered my system. I originally remembered it being 2021 that I was med. recog. but it was actually early 2022, same school year though hence my confusion. It was a little bit before Spring Break, which will become relevant.

I began suspecting I was a system in mid 2021, the earliest record I have of labelling myself plural in any way being from August 2021 specifically. So I waited around half a year to bring it up to my therapist. I don't have an exact month of early 2022 where I mentioned it, but I know it was prior to Spring Break by a bit.

Most of my memories of this time are fuzzy and missing, but the short of it is that I disclosed to my therapist that I was suspecting some sort of dissociative disorder and I described my alter Nick. This was when I (Toby) was the most dominant alter, so I was doing a lot of this talking. My therapist believed me and said he wanted to assess me officially for OSDD, but that he would need to inform my mother, and we both knew that was unsafe for me. So we talked about it for a few sessions, many of which I fully don't remember so I can't get specific.

I remember the lead-up to one session though, and I'll mention it because fucking hell. It was over Spring Break, told ya that'd be relevant. Because we didn't have school, and I normally saw my therapist during school hours, we set up to meet at the local library for our session. This was the one where we ended up planning to get me assessed for OSDD, hopefully during my next session, but that next session never happened for reasons I'll get into later.

When my mom was dropping me off for the Spring Break session, she was drunk. Yes yes, drunk driving, I'm very used to her doing that. She kept talking shit about how I was only so adament about seeing my therapist over break because I wanted to "fuck him." Mind you, I was 15, and he's an old man who has never made me uncomfortable in any way. He's my licensed therapist. But my mom can't keep it in her pants, so I can't be too surprised that she thinks everyone else is like her.

My mom's comments made me so fucking uncomfortable, but I got through the session feeling hopeful about the next one. I knew the plan was to assess me the next session. Around this same time, I'd been talking to my therapist about my tics. When I was 15, I started experiencing motor and vocal tics. It started as just one motor tic, but over a few months it got a lot worse. My therapist agreed that I clearly display tics, but he wanted to see about having my mom take me to a medical doctor before assessing me for Tourette's, in case it was a physical issue he wasn't aware of.

Well, sometime between the Spring Break session and when I was supposed to have my next one, my mom caught wind of me wanting to be assessed for why I'm having tics, and she freaked the everliving fuck out. She immediately pulled me out of therapy and blew up my phone while I was in school, about how I'm a liar and faking it for attention, all the classic bs. Because she pulled me out of therapy, I never got to have those assessments. Even when I was 16 and got back into therapy with a different therapist, I never pursued assessments again, because I knew it was unsafe and impossible while my mom still had custody over me.

So for years, I've been recognized with OSDD and tics/Tourette's, but never formally assessed to be diagnosed. If I'd been able to, I would have gotten the full assessments and appropriate diagnoses, but that was out of my control.

- Toby (He/They/Nym)

Understanding OCD: Exploring Obsessions, Compulsions, and Associated Challenges

Definition

OCD is characterized by persistent and distressing obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are intrusive thoughts, urges, or mental images that repeatedly surface in the individual's mind, causing anxiety and discomfort. Compulsions, on the other hand, are repetitive behaviors or rituals performed in response to these obsessions, often as a way to alleviate anxiety or prevent perceived harm.

Common Obsessions:

Fear of germs or contamination

Fear of forgetting, losing, or misplacing something

Fear of losing control over one's own behavior

Aggressive thoughts toward self or others

Unwanted, forbidden, or taboo thoughts involving sex, religion, or harm

Desire to have things symmetrical or in perfect order

Common Compulsions:

Excessive cleaning or handwashing

Ordering or arranging items in a particular, precise way

Repeatedly checking things (i.e., checking if door is locked or that the oven is off)

Compulsive counting

Praying or repeating words silently

Important Considerations

Not all repetitive thoughts are obsessions, and not all rituals or habits are compulsions.

People with OCD generally:

Can't control their obsessions or compulsions, even when they know they are excessive

Spend more than one hour a day on their obsessions or compulsions

Do not get pleasure from their compulsions, but may feel temporary relief from anxiety

Experience significant problems in daily life due to these thoughts or behaviors

Common Comorbidities

Tic disorder involving repetitive movements or sounds:

Motor tics (sudden, brief, repetitive movements)

Eye blinking or other eye movements, facial grimacing, shoulder shrugging, and head or shoulder jerking.

Vocal tics

Repetitive throat-clearing, sniffing, or grunting sounds.

Additionally, individuals with OCD may also experience diagnosed mood or anxiety disorders.

In Conclusion

OCD is a multifaceted disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. By understanding the nature of obsessions, compulsions, and associated challenges, we can better support those affected by OCD and promote empathy and awareness within our communities.

What is a Neurologist?

The human nervous system and brain are essential for regulating movement, thought, feeling, and all other aspects of body function. Debilitating symptoms that interfere with day-to-day functioning can result from problems with the nervous system. For an accurate diagnosis and course of treatment, speaking with a neurologist can be crucial if you have been diagnosed with a neurological condition or are exhibiting symptoms that cannot be explained.

Neurologists specialize in the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Seeking timely neurological care can help prevent further complications and improve quality of life.

Common Conditions That Require Neurological Care

If you have been diagnosed with any of the following neurological conditions or exhibit symptoms of any of them, you may need to see a neurologist:

Attention DifficultiesADHD and mild cognitive impairment are two neurological or cognitive disorders that can be linked to difficulties with focus, memory, or impulse control.

EpilepsyRecurrent seizures can be a sign of epilepsy, a neurological disorder that requires medical management to control abnormal brain activity.

Cerebral PalsyA neuromuscular disorder caused by brain injury or aberrant prenatal development that affects posture, muscle tone, and movement.

Headaches and MigrainesFrequent or severe headaches and migraines may indicate underlying neurological issues, especially if accompanied by vision changes, dizziness, or nausea.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)An autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the central nervous system, leading to symptoms like numbness, weakness, vision problems, and fatigue.

Memory Loss and Cognitive DeclineDifficulty with memory, reasoning, or concentration can be linked to neurological conditions such as mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.

Myasthenia GravisA neuromuscular disorder that causes muscle weakness and fatigue due to the body’s inability to communicate properly with muscles.

Parkinson’s DiseaseA progressive neurological disorder affecting movement, balance, and coordination, often causing tremors, stiffness, and slowed movements.

Dementia (Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body Dementia, etc.)Neurologists diagnose and manage various forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia, which affect memory, behavior, and cognitive function.

Peripheral NeuropathyNerve damage in the peripheral nervous system can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness, commonly seen in conditions like diabetes.

PseudodementiaCognitive impairment that mimics dementia but is caused by depression or psychiatric conditions rather than neurological decline.

Sleep ApneaA sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts, often linked to neurological dysfunction and increasing the risk of cognitive decline.

StrokeAn abrupt stoppage of blood supply to the brain can result in irreversible harm, necessitating both immediate medical intervention and ongoing neurological care.

Tics and Movement DisordersInvoluntary movements, twitches, or vocal outbursts may be signs of movement disorders such as Tourette’s syndrome or dystonia.

Other Neuromuscular ConditionsNeurological disorders affecting the muscles and nerves, such as ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), can cause progressive weakness and mobility challenges.

When to Seek Neurological Evaluation

If you are experiencing persistent or worsening neurological symptoms, a neurologist can conduct diagnostic tests like MRI scans, EEGs, and nerve conduction studies to determine the underlying cause. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage symptoms effectively and improve long-term outcomes.

For appropriate treatment and management, it is imperative that you or a loved one seek professional care from a licensed neurologist if you are experiencing neurological issues.

TICFREE Anti-Tic Treatment | Natural Solution for Managing Tics

Tics are sudden, repetitive movements or sounds that some people make involuntarily. These can range from simple motor tics like blinking, head jerking, or shoulder shrugging to vocal tics such as throat clearing or humming. Tics often begin in childhood and can be associated with neurological conditions like Tourette Syndrome, which may impact a person's daily life, confidence, and emotional well-being. While conventional treatments exist, many people seek out natural alternatives that are safe and effective for managing tics.

Enter TICFREE, a groundbreaking anti-tic treatment designed to help people with tics regain control over their movements and live tic-free. This all-natural supplement targets the root causes of tics, helping to calm the nervous system and reduce involuntary movements or sounds.

What Causes Tics?

Before diving into how TICFREE works, it's important to understand the factors that can trigger tics. While the exact causes aren't always clear, tics are often related to:

Neurological conditions like Tourette Syndrome

Stress and anxiety levels

Fatigue or exhaustion

Environmental factors such as sensory overload

Although tics may diminish over time or become less frequent, for many individuals, they remain persistent, affecting daily activities and social interactions. Managing them requires more than just a quick fix—it calls for a long-term solution like TICFREE.

How Does TICFREE Work?

TICFREE anti-tic treatment is formulated with a blend of herbal ingredients known to calm the nervous system, support brain function, and reduce the severity of tics. The natural formula addresses the issue from within, helping individuals manage the condition over time.

Some of the key benefits of TICFREE include:

Nervous system calming: The ingredients in TICFREE work together to soothe the central nervous system, which plays a major role in tic disorders.

Reducing involuntary movements and sounds: By addressing hyperactivity in the nervous system, TICFREE reduces the frequency and intensity of both motor and vocal tics.

Stress and anxiety relief: Since stress and anxiety often exacerbate tics, TICFREE includes ingredients that promote relaxation and a sense of calm.

Safe and natural formula: TICFREE is made from 100% natural ingredients, making it a safe choice for those who prefer herbal remedies over pharmaceutical options.

Why Choose TICFREE Over Conventional Treatments?

Conventional medications for tic disorders often come with side effects that can be challenging for individuals to manage. Common drugs like antipsychotics, used to control tics, can lead to issues like weight gain, fatigue, or even mood swings. TICFREE, on the other hand, offers a natural approach without these unwanted side effects.

Natural ingredients: TICFREE harnesses the power of nature to bring relief without the harsh chemicals found in many conventional treatments.

Holistic approach: Instead of masking the symptoms, TICFREE addresses the root cause of tics, leading to more sustainable results.

Ease of use: With its natural formulation, TICFREE is simple to incorporate into your daily routine, offering a convenient solution for those looking to manage tics holistically.

Who Can Benefit from TICFREE?

TICFREE is ideal for individuals of all ages who are dealing with motor or vocal tics, whether they're related to conditions like Tourette Syndrome or simply caused by stress and anxiety. Since it is an herbal formula, it's gentle enough for children but effective enough for adults.

Conclusion

Tics can be a frustrating and sometimes embarrassing condition to live with, but with the right approach, they can be managed. TICFREE anti-tic treatment offers a safe, natural, and effective solution to help individuals take control of their tics and improve their quality of life. With its calming, nerve-soothing properties, TICFREE provides a holistic option that works with your body, not against it.

If you're searching for a natural way to manage tics without the side effects of prescription medications, TICFREE could be the answer you've been looking for.

Motor Tic Disorders: Understanding The Causes, Symptoms, And Treatment Options

This article will demystify motor tic disorders, providing readers with a clear, concise understanding of what these disorders are, their potential causes, the symptoms to look for, and the current treatment options available.

Introduction

Tics refer to sudden and repeated movements, twitches, or sounds that a person does, which they cannot control or stop. Someone with chronic motor tic disorder might grunt throughout the day unwillingly, while someone with provisional tic disorder might shrug their shoulders unwillingly throughout the day.

Tic disorders are grouped into three categories:

Tourette syndrome (TS)

Chronic motor tic disorder, sometimes called persistent or vocal tic disorder

Provisional tic disorder

These three disorders differ from one another based on the type of tic a person has and how long they have had it. TS and chronic motor tic disorder present for more than one year, while provisional tic disorder presents for less than one year.

Exploring Motor Tic Disorders

A doctor can usually make a diagnosis based on a physical examination without any additional tests. When the tics persist nearly every day for up to or more than a year and can be confirmed during an appointment, a diagnosis is usually possible.

Diagnosis for chronic motor tic disorder

Chronic motor tic disorder is more common than TS. In order to be diagnosed with vocal tic disorder or chronic motor tic disorder, an individual must:

Have multiple motor tics or vocal tics but not both

Examples of motor tics include blinking or shoulder struggling

Examples of vocal tics include yelling words, clearing the throat, or humming

Have tics that happen many times during the day or nearly every day for more than one year

Have tics that begin before 18

Have symptoms that are unrelated to other conditions like seizures or Huntington’s disease

Have no diagnosis of TS

Diagnosis for provisional tic disorder

In order to be diagnosed with provisional tic disorder, an individual must:

Have multiple motor tics or vocal tics but not both

Have symptoms that have not existed for longer than 12 consecutive months

Have tics that begin before 18

Have symptoms that are unrelated to other conditions like seizures or Huntington’s disease

Have no diagnosis of TS or chronic motor tic disorder

Recognizing the Symptoms

Symptoms include sounds or movements that are repeated with no goal, reason, or ability to be controlled. They can include:

Making grimaces

Quick movements of the legs or arms

Clearing the throat

Contracting the abdomen

Grunting

Excessive blinking

There are many kinds of tics, and sometimes symptoms are managed for a short time, but then the urges get worse with illness or stress or other external factors like:

Excitement

Heat

Stress

Fatigue

Investigating the Causes

The exact causes of provisional tic disorder or chronic motor tic disorder are unknown. Current investigation believes that the causes are due to changes in the areas of the brain responsible for controlling movement.

Most motor tic disorders run in families, and as such, there is likely a genetic cause. However, motor tic disorders also tend to manifest in people who have other mental health conditions, such as:

ADHD

OCD

Sometimes, motor tic disorders are triggered by serious health conditions like Huntington’s disease or drug abuse from things like amphetamines or cocaine.

6 doubts about Tourette's Syndrome you should clarify

What if one day you lose control of your behavior or your voice? Wouldn't it be bad if you couldn't help but shrug and bark in the middle of a conversation, wouldn't it?

This is a fact for many people. Welcome to the Kingdom of Tourettes! Consider Tourette's syndrome.

A neurological condition known as Tourette's syndrome is characterized by uncontrollable and repetitive movements or vocalizations known as tics. A person can temporarily control their tics, but eventually they have to let them happen. This can last for a few seconds or a few minutes.

Tics include repetitive movements, including clearing throat, twisting wrists, shrugging, blinking in a specific way, and making strange noises. An individual with Tourette syndrome has a particular pattern of tics that they repeat over and over. Neither intelligence nor life expectancy are affected by Tourette syndrome. There is currently no cure for Tourette syndrome, but there are many treatments available.

Because tics often become less severe as the patient enters adolescence, many people never seek medical attention unless their symptoms are severe. However, some people's tics interfere with their normal daily tasks.

What are the symptoms of Tourette's Syndrome?

The most typical sign is the tic. Tourette's tic can change from one to the next, as well as appearing and disappearing without warning. Tics usually appear between the ages of 2 and 15, with six being the average age.

Tourette tic types:

Involuntary body movements are called motor tics.

Vocal tics are uncontrollable sounds.

They are further separated into basic and complex

A muscle group engaged only in simple tics. Several movements and muscle units are used simultaneously in complex tics.

Here is a list of Tourette's symptoms:

Some cases of motor tic

Simple: Mouth and jaw movements, head jerks, shoulder shrugs, and blinking.

Complicated nods and grimaces.

An example of vocal tics

Simple: clear throat, growl, cough and bark

Combination: Repeated words or phrases, vulgar language. You may be curious why people take the oath of Tourette. Did you notice?

Only about 1 in 10 patients with Tourette's syndrome have the habit of swearing, which is extremely rare.

2) Causes of Tourette's syndrome

There may be causes of Tourette syndrome, although they are not known. Genes are passed on from father to son. The likelihood of Tourette syndrome may be increased by a family history of this or other tic disorders, and environmental factors may also be important. Men are 3 to 4 times more likely to have Tourette syndrome than women, according to current research, which also points to abnormalities in specific brain regions.

Most people with Tourette syndrome also have other health problems, usually mental or behavioral problems, such as:

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): Inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive behaviors are symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): This condition leads to a persistent urge to examine objects or clean them. It also causes unwanted thoughts.
