cure_me

Thanks for the replies, I'm 19. I would say it's minor for me since I can control it most of the time. But sometimes it does overtake me. Nobody except for my parents have noticed me doing it because I do have a lot of control over it when I’m around other people. Anyway recently it has started to get worse. Now I tick while I'm driving, which gets pretty scary since my tics are mostly things I do with my eyes. But so far I have been able to not drive into anything, although there were some very close calls. I don’t really feel burdened by my tics or my checking alone, but together they do waste a lot of my time. and some tics really hurt like ######.

Hi, I'm new here. I haven't been diagnosed with turrets but I do have motor ticks. Some of which are: Head jerking. Looking up with just my eyes. Closing my eyes. And when I was around 8 I used to cough like as you would if you wanted to get someone’s attention. Also I believe that I also have OCD because I check things a lot like if I turn of a light I press several times on the switch. So I just want to know if there was anything physically wrong with my brain or is it just my mind tricking me into ticking? Also has anyone here actually grown out of it or managed to cure themselves? And is it something you're born with or does something trigger it? Because I didn't have any of this until I was 8. Also it went away when I was 10, but came back when I was 14.
