The biggest problem lately I have with people I kind of know, but don't really know is them trying not to offend me when I do or say something funny relating to #tourettes tics.

Trust me, I know how insane this situation is. I think it's funny too, and will probably laugh as well if something absolutely insane happens to come out of my mouth. Or I do something silly compulsively, or have a clumsy moment since I can barely control my hands at times.

I am not easy to offend :D

It's too hard get help in the #usa.

I think of a time where I was begging for help, and didn't really know what could help before I realized I had #tourettes and severe #cptsd. I was recovering from drugs, misdiagnosed and nearly dead.

I had to almost die, be hospitalized many times, and go to several doctors for proof before I could get on #disability and find Full Service Partnership for #housing and other assistance.

You shouldn't have to almost die to be worthy of aid.

I AM GETTING MY OWN APARTMENT!

Eventually that is.

My case manager is working with a housing program specifically meant for people who have chronic illnesses that can result in being #homeless.

In theory I should be able to get priority as #tourettes has the risk of shouting myself out of places if I panic, or have persistent problems that lead me to not feeling safe in combination with severe #cptsd.

It will be a months long wait, but I am excited!

Oh no...

...I met a girl with #tourettes and now she wants to follow me around and told me that I'm cool (I'm definitely not but I won't correct her if she wants to think it,).

That's dangerous...

SIGN ME UP IMMEDIATELY AND WHERE THE HELL IS MY COFFEE?! O.o

I really am the authority on my own condition.

#tourettes is horribly misunderstood, even by professionals to the point that I was ignorant about too, up until I discovered I had it at 27ish after going to #therapy for other reasons.

Not even my own #family understood it, particularly my father who never understood #mentalhealth and tried to punish odd behaviors out of myself, my brother and my mom who spent half of my childhood in hospitals as a result of his #abuse.

I had a laugh walking to the grocery store a while ago.

I have a #jeep tic and while walking down a road I hadn't yet, I went by a whole JEEP DEALERSHIP by accident.

My #tourettes immediately compelled me to yell "HOLY MOTHER OF F*CKING JEEEEEPS/STOP LOOKING AT THE JEEPS/LOOK RIGHT IDIOT,"...

...I started giggling then looked into traffic and saw two Jeeps driving by and said "JEEP/DOUBLE JEEP/I'M BEING PERSONALLY ATTACKED BY JEEEPS!" Then I almost lost my balance laughing.

I like to ask myself important questions in #life.

Questions like "Do I really want to eat the entire pizza?".

And "Why are you asking stupid questions? EAT THE DaMn PiZzA!" Or maybe that last bit was the #tourettes.

But it sounds like a good idea to me, and it's a peculiar life when I'm simply happy I had an oven to bake it in.

Which I lacked until very recently O.o

Small steps, my life gets better, and I accidentally command myself to eat more pizza, and then listen.

I really do have a hell of a combination to ensure my head hurts a lot.

1. I have #tourettes which comorbid comes with #migraine like headaches that are caused by suppression of #tics if I do it too much, essentially my nervous system overloading.

2. Constant neck/shoulder strain from dystonic tics that make me subconsciously tense my shoulders.

3. #visualsnowsyndrome which has actual migraines as an extremely common comorbid condition.

Where's my ibuprofen...

I am quite glad my particular flavor of #tourettes is more on the severe motor #tic and mild vocal tic side of things.

My vocal tics are frequent, but I can indefinitely suppress them if I am not afraid, or very angry/stressed somehow even if it's uncomfortable.

I can pretend to be a normal sounding person who makes a bunch of eccentric movements.

I know someone who shout insults randomly, and they barely leave their home out of fear of being retaliated against.

I'll never get over the fact that unless it's a neurologist, I know more about #tourettes than every medical professional I come across, and as a case as severe as mine as an adult is rare, I end up being a curiosity to them.

I know more than my case manager, who is about to finish studying to be a therapist.

I know more than my psychiatrist, who I taught a few things and was asked a ton of questions by.

I know more than my GP.

I should be a neurologist O.o

Sirens are a very useful tool used by emergency vehicles of many types, and are a required evil when most people can barely pay attention to their own hands even if annoying...

...I just wish I didn't lose the ability to use my hands properly every time an ambulance or police car zoomed by me, as sound plays with my tics. The louder and more annoying the sound is, the more impairing this effect is.

I avoid downtown #losangeles as it's nothing but sirens, horns and chaos.

Anyone else's #tourettes get worse over time?

Someone asked me to come up with the most random sentence I possibly could while we were talking this morning.

I am quite proud of my on the spot answer I gave without skipping a beat.

"Some the was home on and he was the somehow so the what dog biscuits carnivore camel,".

My #tourettes allows me to do this, as I am always subconsciously ticking even if I don't show it, and it can be really random.

I'm basically a brand new sentence generator.

I just discovered I have a new condition:

#visualsnowsyndrome.

Here I thought everyone saw that way, like TV static across everything but RGB.

So far we are up to:

#tourettes #adhd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #cptsd #asthma #insomnia facial neuralgia, peripheral neuralgia, #synesthesia, just being plain eccentric, and now visual snow syndrome.

Whatever made my soul must have hit the randomizer.

I have evidence in the form of audio recordings enough to file a #lawsuit against 3 different establishments for #discrimination based on #abuse I received for #tourettes at this point.

I could have probably 10 if I was allowed to have a phone during inpatient #mentalhealth stays.

I wonder how much money I am about to make simply because I was smart enough to #record for my protection, and abusive control freaks are dumb enough to forget people can do that in 2025.

One benefit to #tourettes - it acts like a dumbass filter.

Intelligent people who understand I'm constantly oversharing, have a hard time not saying exactly what I'm thinking, and cuss a ton absolutely adore me.

Stupid people hate me as I'll call them on their BS without thinking about it, or they find me abrasive or rude. They find my explosive energy annoying, and think I'm crazy.

I'm okay with dumbasses thinking I'm crazy. Keeps them away.

Well I live somewhere else now.

I got entirely tired of having to constantly fight with staff who work in #mentalhealth and somehow don´t know that #tourettes can make you randomly insult and cuss at people.

I have all I need for a #lawsuit so I left and now stay at a sober living place until I can find another...

...I have a #job now so I don´t think I will ever stay in shared living again.

The place used to be a hospital, and it kind of reminded me of one you could leave.

I had discrimination committed against me AGAIN.

I am now exposing this place and here is an audio recording of the supervisor for the day not knowing how #tourettes works and making me basically BEG to get in the door.

I am pressing charges.

I am filing a #lawsuit.

I am exposing them for patient abuse and discrimination. These people almost put me in a HOSPITAL.

Made me APOLOGIZE

Go to hell.

The full story about how messed up my week has been.

I am posting a video on #youtube and #scoopz every single time something weird or messed up happens from now on.

Maybe I'll get famous for the survival of the BS #tourettes gets me into.
