#tw: mention of tourettes

[rattfinkswife]

I have a confession to make… I actually made whump fanfics of my main f/o (Rattfink) where he has epilepsy and tourette’s syndrome and I feel like he would stop loving me if he found out…

[nurtleteckye]

Is anybody else w/ tics just...angry?

Like it's a parents' job to support their kids, and yet people like me still have to avoid our parents on bad days or go to the bathroom to tic because are families think we "caught our tics from tiktok" and will get upset with us.

Society claims to support and respect everyone but most people won't do the bare minimum to educate themselves on tics and continue to perpetuate stereotypes.

I shouldn't have to suppress my tics around my family, it's painful, support and acceptance is the bare minimum.

I shouldn't have to be afraid going to go into public because I fear being harassed.

I shouldn't have to be afraid going to my homeschool co-op for fear of being harassed or fear of teachers not knowing what tics are.

If you don't have tics please learn the bare minimum about them and leave people with tics alone.

to my friends with tics out there this is your invitation to tell me about your weirdest tic, for me personally it has to be "vehicular manslaughter" or "jacket in the slut room"

to those saying “your lack of wanting to write doesn’t mean you should abandon this blog” i understand the sentiment i really do but it’s not just me not wanting to write.

i have so many fics ready to be published because i cant stop writing, i love writing. the main problem is actually posting the fics.

if anyone pays close attention to this blog, you’ll see that i don’t post random text posts, not fic related, near as often as i used to, and i often delete them after a few minutes to hours of posting them.

i have severe anxiety as we all know, so publishing fics has always been harder for me to do, it’s nerve wracking and scary to do without feeling anxious for days on end. now i’m starting to struggle with OCD even more.

i used to just need everything even on both sides years ago, but now things have gotten to an insane point that’s new and scary and hard to really comprehend. suddenly i need to delete things or else “xyz” will happen, suddenly i cant post things with specific words or “xyz” will happen.

it doesn’t make sense, and it’s dreadful and the problem is most OCD “therapy/methods of working through compulsions” interferes with my tourettes, and now if i want to start a new therapy type i have to leave the house and get over this resurgence of severe agoraphobia.

i do write, i want to post my fics so bad, and i want to stay on this blog. but, i am one compulsion away from feeling like i have to give it all up, and it is terrifying.

this was my safe space, the one place my brain felt at peace and now i’m tearing it away from myself (albeit involuntarily) and at the moment there’s no way to stop this downward spiral immediately.

while i understand you all being sad about me abandoning ship or never posting another fic again, pleas know i am 10x sadder, and far more distraught than i could even explain.

If there's anyone out there who still thinks people with tics/Tourette's are faking. Please read this.

I just lost my Aunt. Out of nowhere. I've been dealing with that loss for a day and a half and all I want is to be left alone and cry and deal with my feelings.

And my Tourette's is still going. It's pulling my face to the point of pain. It's throwing my head around until I get a migraine. It's punching my chest. When I'm all alone and dealing with so much shit already.

I don't want to be like this.

Why the fuck would I fake this?

I just want to be still.

[self-dx-culture-is]

Self dx Tourettes culture is being horribly concerned about your tics because it's completely possible they aren't actually tics and are something more serious (or something that causes different issues aswell) but no one else seems to care enough to even acknowledge it beyond how they feel / how it affects them

-CCC

(cw use of words medical neglect but not really anything else, if no read we're used to things like this is all)

we're used to medical neglect by those around us at this point but stilll

My most annoying tic isn't my teeth chattering, my head turning, or my arm raising so high it looks like I'm smelling my armpit

its the fucking winking

cuz I'm by myself right now I have noting to worry about, but once I go outside and have to fake having something in my eye so no one thinks I want to get with them. the worst part about then is how awkward my wink tic is that even if someone thought I wanted to get with them, they would obviously ignore me because my anxious ass is not worth their time 😔

TW for a Tic Attack, violence(?), and vent below....

I honestly hate when people say they want Tourettes/Tics. So I'm going to try and help deglamorize it by writing down what happened during the Three Hours Long TA (Tic Attack) I just got out of.

For anybody that has said anything similar to wanting to have Tourettes/Tics or thinking it's something cute or 'quirky', here's what it's like. (At least for me)

During it, I had said curse words, slurs, said things in general that were just unpleasant, and if around the wrong people, I would've gotten hurt. My neck jerked and turned repeatedly, and I hit myself repeatedly as well.

I am now exhausted, sore, bruised, feel sick, and in pain in general.

On the daily, I get hurt and drop things. It is a struggle to do almost anything and extremely embarrassing when I'm around anybody (not that anybody should be embarrassed of their Tics, be proud of who you are<3)

It's completely involuntary and can even be very dangerous.

Yes, sometimes it can be funny in the moment when something silly comes out, but that doesn't make it something fun to have.

For me, It's almost always being sore, being scared to hold Anything, having bruises, struggling to do pretty much anything, loss of sleep, constant doubt, thinking I'm faking it despite the wounds it often causes, it causes breakdowns, and so much more. (At least for me)

I can't find a job that I would be able to due to this (and other issues I have). I can't cook, which I have tried, because I end up hurt.

Not to mention how difficult it is to even get a diagnosis.

I'm so proud of anybody who has it regardless of how bad it may or may not be. I'm proud of you for making it this far despite any struggles you have<3
