  1. Thank you for responding. I think it was stress of a big project coming up and my brain was a little late to recgonize that the project was over... I'll look at the triggers list next time it happens! For me, the triggers can do a lot with anxiety... which I have a lot of at certain times.
  2. Hi everybody, I am new here. I've had tics since I was five or six. They used to be very painful- excessive eye-blinking, jaw moving, biting on the lips and cheek until they were raw, etc. Also, I have vocal tics, such as humming briefly in between sentences. The physical tics died down about a year ago, and the vocal tics are still there, which don't bother me so much. But about a week ago, the biting of the cheek tic started up again, and it's more violent (at least it feels like it.) The physical tics used to hurt, but would be background "noise" so to speak. But this one; it feels like it's just draining me. My tics don't usually interfere with my daily life. I can still do things. I don't think I have Tourette's, but I don't know. I've never been diagnosed. I see a therapist, but she's retiring soon, and she is honestly a wonderful person, but when my tics get like this, there's nothing really to help. I worry a lot, but I've never been diagnosed with actual anxiety. I'm just looking for some people who understand what I'm going through and can give some advice... it was so good to feel like it was all behind me, and just the vocal tics remained. But apparently not. It hurts and it makes me feel bad about myself that I can't stop or control my tics. Please help! Thank you.
