You're such a handsome guy. And love is a magical part of life. I don't have tics but I've been around people who have them...never bothered me one bit. My friend & I, the one who has tics, we just kinda laugh it off. But you're an awesome guy :)
I've been living with TS for 25 years now. My biggest problem is that I don't trust eaily so it makes getting close to someone difficult. I have rage as well so that causes a few problems, especially with those who don't understand me. I have been with my Fiance for 10 years now and he's probably the most accepting person I've ever met, even when I'm abusing him (I sometimes throw my arms or leg out which result in someone being punched or kicked) I was so close to giving up on the idea of being loved and accepted that I almost didn't give him a chance. After being emotionally/mentally abused and treated like a mistake it changes you. I am thankful everyday for him.
Montana Preston thanks. I have difficulties talking about my tics with people I don't know. I just stumbled upon your videos today and I love that you explain your personal experience, it's different from the usual "Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that.... blah blah blah" makes me feel better seeing and hearing, clearly and well explained, how it effects you over the videos that use humor and a more scientific approach.
That’s awesome not to have any issues in dating. I haven’t had many issues with my own and actually people around me are more accepting and understanding then I think they might be. I usually try to hide it from people because I’m embarrassed but then my family and friends tell me, f*** people if they have a problem with it. It’s who I am. LOL! Anyway I just wanted to say that. Thanks for being inspiring and so cool about TS. God bless and good luck. 🙏🏼
I can imagine. lol I've got eczema..it's a different type of torture. But I can relate. Unfortunately you can't just rub some cream on your problem and it'll go away. :\
Sometimes I have some really good days and then I have some REALLY bad tic days. I have found that people get freaked out when it's bad and this causes them to pull away. Because it's so painful to lose them, I find it hard to keep trying to make new friends. Has this ever happened to you? If so, how did you handle it?
+Virginia Black I have the same problem sometimes too, it's a number game tho and the more I try the more success and people I can meet. I will admit it is very tough tho. Sometimes when my tics get REALLY bad I isolate myself a lot and people think I am avoiding them and this makes them invite me out less. I also tend to hang out with people in short bursts sometimes and it makes it hard to really get to know them but I'm sure we both do the best we can with what we have. I know you ROCK and I am sure when people know that they will wanna stay around!! ;)
You r a doing a great thing. Massaging the soles with sesame oil or ghee before bed regularly will help.also sleeping or laying on the floor for 10 or 15 min.helps.keep it up.
