You're such beautiful girl, I cannot imagine what you're going through but thank you for sharing your struggles. My niece has tourette's and so does my neighbor. She's 9 . I'm familiar with tourette's but a lot of people aren't. So Thank you for bringing awareness to this condition. Hugs sweetie.
Seriously, my husband will come into the bathroom to see where I have been for the past hour. He finds me sitting in the sink, picking the crap out of my face. I feel for you! 🤦♀️🥰
Hey Claire thanks for speaking out about this. I just started channel to document my journey with Tourette’s, epilepsy. Chronic gastro condition and anxiety and OCD. But if I’m honest I have no clue how to begin talking about OCD and how it effects my tics and life generally. Intrusive thoughts were damn near ruining my life at your age and I’m so happy to see you dealing with it and being courageous to share this stuff with the world, I really feel for you and you’re not alone, this is a real gift to us as viewers and so grateful. You’re more than half my age and a real inspiration to me, I even caught a couple of tics from watching you lol that’s the only downside in watching or being with others who have tics 😂
I don't know why, but when I watch you ticking, it triggers my tics a lot. I find it funny and love your channel, but it is so weird when someone walks in on me watching your videos, and all they see is me freaking out at my computer screen.
My son was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome in 2005. I recall vividly the day when his tics came out of the blue. As a parent, it broke my heart to see him suffer. He was having tics constantly throughout the day and sweating profusely. I took him immediately to a pediatrician who then referred us to see a Neurologist. The specialist prescribed a miracle drug to help the tics called Orap. You may want to talk to your doctor about this medication. My son’s tics are managed very well due to the Orap. ❤️
April Cathaway I used orap also very good medication hopelly he get better give him a big hug from me please when I was 5 my tick start but I don’t have local one I can control it mostly time but sometimes out of control😀😀people ask are you ok this question I hate are you ok?😀😀😀and try to take him last shower in week look at him you will notice he is tick will go down
YOUR SO BEAUTIFUL AND SUCH AN AMAZING SMILE YOU HAVE!! STAY STRONG AND DO NOT BE MISLED NOR DISCOURAGE BY WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY OR FEEL OR EVEN THINK ABOUT YOU!!! YOU KEEP GOING AND STAY STRONG AND STAY FOCUSED!! EVERYONE HAS THERE OWN ILLNESSES BUT DO NOT LET THEM UNDEFINE YOU ON HOW YOU TRULY ARE TO YOURSELF!!!!
I pick really bad too. I have a lot of scars from where I pick, and know I shouldn't do it, and hate that I do it, but it happens anyway. I also got some of those pore tools, and they were a terrible idea. I spent a week after I got them constantly messing with spots on my face and anywhere else on my body I could see and reach. My best friend used to try smacking me when she was me picking, but I'm too stubborn and it didn't help
I struggling with OCD and Tourette’s as well, I also pick my face because of the dermatillomania and it really fucking sucks. Although I wish you didn’t struggle with it, I’m also glad to find someone who understands exactly what it feels like
Well shit. I think I have the dermatliomania thing and I’m not joking. I don’t pick my face but my eggs and arms. I’ve tried to stop so many times but I just can’t and I’m covered in scabs, so many ppl think I have eczema !!! I thought I was just stupid or something but as soon as u mentioned what that’s like for u I had this like grand realization. I’m kinda really sad bc I always thought I could really stop if I REALLY tried but if it’s an actual thing then I don’t know I I can. Damn it
I have Dermatillomania as well as Trichatillomania. both are awful horrible and embarrassing. I don't leave the house when I've had bad picking days which get worse with my anxiety. I have a wonderful hairdresser and a huge collection of beanies to hide my bald spots. Girl I know it's not a comfort. but I think knowing there are other people out there who get it is important. I often feel so ashamed to the point where most days I can't look in the mirror but I believe we can both get through it. one day, hour, minute at a time.
I have really bad OCD. I had a really bad episode that lasted a few months. I didnt shower, eat or do anything properly for months. I spent over 6 hours in the bathroom once bent over the toilet because i couldnt 'finish' my routine and i was in agony afterwards. I am so glad i got through the other side but it was definitely the worst time of my life! I hate it when people made the snide comments of 'i've got OCD' and brush it off as a simple illness without realising the implications :(
I have OCD and TS. Was diagnosed right as my last year of school started. I was scared as I would call people fat, use awful words and hit myself til the point I bruised. Watching your videos allowed me to accept everything that’s happened. I also just got a job at McDonald’s!!!!! Thank you, soso much
I'm just a camel I picked up the aliens in my attic one, and I slap myself so hard it goes numb. My OCD compulsions also causes me to draw on my wall (sounds crazy) I’ve picked up so many from Claire
@@salem8773 Yup I picked up many from her, I slap myself so often it doesn't even hurt anymore, and too many others to name, like whistling, middle fingers ect
Oof dermatilomania and other bfrb's are such shit. I have dermatophagia and trichtotilmania so I eat the skin off around my fingers and nails til they bleed and pull my hair out. Gotta love those self soothing nervous tics babey 🤙
Bro OCD is trash, i have OCD, Social Anxiety, mild depression, and bulemia but im c h i l l, im glad i dont have tourettes because of all the videos i watch i'd just turn into a friggin Swearing machine
I never would have guessed you had dermatillomania. I am not trying to say that you don't have it so please don't think that. I am not diagnosed but I struggle with it too. I pick mainly my face, chest, shoulders, and arms. It gets embarrassingly bad sometimes and I have scars from it. I can't pass a mirror without picking or having a STRONG urge to. Squeezing something helps me resist the urge. I hate it when I have red spots and scabs on my body but yet I still can't seem to stop or not do it as much. My chest is pretty much never cleared up and always has red spots. I hope you have little ways to help you with your skin picking. I am always trying to figure things like that out :)
I have Dermatillomania. I knew what it was this year but looking back, it seems like I've had it since I was 3 or 4. Any scabs, sunburn flaky skin, blisters, and dead flesh, I picked. I picked dead flesh since I was 3. I don't get sunburn but I picked my mom's sunburn. I picked blisters around age 12. Scabs since age 9. I took a test online and it's clear I have it whether it's a medical diagnosis or not. I'm now 15. My brother, Mason, is 22 and has OCD. We don't know if he had a medical diagnosis but it's clear he has it
I have dermatilomania (idk how to spell it) too, l feel the urge frequently to pick at my skin and have for 2 years. at school, trying to sleep, whenever I see a mirror. but its gotten better and less frequent and my skin is absolutely ruined
I'm almost sure I have dermatillomania. Not just "omg I pop pimples" but.... I have scars on my left upper arm from picking and there's pretty much never a time when I don't have a scab or something bleeding on me. I suspect I have some form of OCD, and it is horrible to deal with. I don't want people to notice but I want it to stop.
I have a question: how do you embrace your tics especially in public? I am so embarrassed and I suppress them no matter how much discomfort I get from them.
I try to teach myself to just use skincare and not mess with my skin but I can't help hyperfixating on every mini imperfection, every pore, and I pick it till it bleeds and my skin is all red and ugly and has nail marks/dents in it. Its so embarrassing :( OCD freaking sucks.
Question with the OCD, do you itch until you bleed? Because with me I itch until I bleed, but I don’t know what it is. So now I have scars on me. I don’t know what it’s from. Because I don’t have any bug bites and this is been going on for at least a year
Ok this video is a bit newer. But when you start having bad tics I am curious if CBD oil could help you. I've seen elderly with Parkinson use it and become completely still! I've seen young children with autism who are having an overstimulated meltdown use is and become calm and collected. If it could help you especially when you have a severe attack that would be amazing!
I alway pick my face until it bleeds. I can't stop also racing though could I have it. and mom has OCD could I have it??? help!!! also safe harm face and nails leg could give some info please.
Today when I was doing my homework we had to do this brainstorm spider diagram thingy and I was trying to make a circle and it was perfect but when I did make a perfect circle we had to write things down and I was putting boxes around the words and the lines on the boxes were straight and then one line wasn't straight and I was having a panic attack (exaggerating) and I was about to cry 😂😂😭😭😭 and I had to do it over and over again cause I kept on making mistakes 😭😭😭 Idk if that's OCD or not but it's very annoying 😭😭
how could you know if someone has something or not. just bc they might not explain it very well and make it seem like they’re self diagnosing, doesn’t mean they don’t have it.
Right as you said the OCD and tic levels may be connected I saw that there were 666 views. Claire...I think you need to take that up with the devil lol. Also would you rather have more tics less OCD or more OCD and less tics?
I’d rather have more tics ngl, I feel less embarrassed about my tics then I do my OCD. And I don’t need to take it up with the devil because I am the devil:)
I don’t think i have that ocd thing where u have to pop pimples, but.. i HAVE to pop my pimples, my face gets super red and bleeds. and i cant stand others not popping their pimples
beautiful girl. hey hey saludos desde venezuela I'm new to the channel, I don't know how I got here I was watching videos of Billie Eilish, it's really weird
