Hi again, I've noticed something in my life : when I go on stairs, I like finish them with my left foot. Is it a kind of OCD or not ?

Unfortunately, I haven't noticed something which caused my tics, I don't really know why they started... Maybe, I tend to tic more when I'm listening to something (in class, TV, music...) but there is no a specific fact which triggers my tics

Ok, I agree with the fact that tics act like compulsions on me, it's a kind of obsession, if I do my tics, I "feel good"

No, I've never been diagnosed with OCD

First, I do my tics when I'm not doing something physically (for example, while I'm watching TV, listening to music...). In the case of cracking my fingers, I can feel a sort of tension in my arms (which can be traduced by little trembling) and, to stop this tension, I've to crack my knuckles by pushing them under my chin (which is very ugly to see). If I don't do the tic, I cannot stop thinking about it. For the throat tic, it's a little bit the same thing, I can feel "something" in my throat and I've to snore and clear my throat. Something I don't understand about tics after reading some websites, it's the fact they are called semi-voluntary : what does it define. When I do my tics, I'm totally aware of it so it's voluntary

Sometimes I clear my throat : I don't know if I can consider it as a tic.

Hello, I'm French and I'm 21. For 5-6 years, I've done some weird movements : - I crack my knuckles over my chin. I also crack my wrists by the same way, my elbows and my shoulders - I roll my neck - I bite my lips If I don't make these movements, I can feel tension until I make it. I would like to know if this could be a tic disorder
