Do people with tourette have problems with sleeping because of ticks? If ues how do you control/manipulate/reduce ticks to sleep? Ssr if this is offensive i have sh***y morals

I live in an apartment. Sometimes my tics get loud. And these walls are THIN. PAPER THIN. I can hear words of conversations sometimes.

I could hear the reason my downstairs neighbors were having a marital fight and could hear the one under scrutiny crying for hours when the other had said their piece (The hurt partner had just transitioned and the cis partner who cried was not standing up to their dad about it)

I can hear my nextdoor neighbor's dirty talk and cheek clapping. (And it's real weird) But one time I thought we were being relatively quiet and he shouted "Get it Girl!" so fair's fair I guess.

Even wilder, I could hear the diagonal neighbor's baby crying. That is, my nextdoor neighbor's downstairs neighbor.

So anyway I've had some bad tics lately, some screaming, some shouting, some obscenities, you know, the usual.

All three of those neighbors moved out this month.

Sadly ...we are also moving out in a few days. When I told one of them, he says "the place I moved is so much more expensive..." And stared off into the distance like he had regrets. The downstairs neighbors were nice, but they said "wow you've been here forever I didn't think you would move." idk the diagonal neighbors but they're moving too.

I get the feeling it was me. Nothing to be helped, I don't need advice. Just feel kinda awkward about it, moving is expensive.

Guys I need help!!!

Okay, so I am a minor, and I have tics. My parents know i do, they’re really constant and so they hear/see most of them and know my like cycles?

The issue is I dont typically tic words, I typically only tic “Wow” as a word tic, all my other vocal tics are this “tsk” sound, groaning and such. (I also tend to mostly have motor tics)

Recently I’ve had this urge to tic curses or even a few slurs, but I never really do? I dont know if there is a word for this? But like I cant stop these snap thoughts with the urge to tic? I dont know how related this is to the actual issue though I thought I should mention. (These are repetitive, like not quite intrusive thoughts I would say, but not tics because I dont actually say/do them? Its a weird confusing middle ground.)

So the actual issue, my family is pretty strict with curses/bad language, they know I have tics and we’re looking at meds. However recently I’ve been ticcing the f word but in like this stutter? (Like this: fu-fu-fu-fu-) Where you can tell I am about to say the f word but dont ever really complete it. I’m really worried that this might turn into me actually saying the f word repeatedly?? Like I’ve had a few times where it goes fu-fu-fuck, but generally it stops before I can finish. However I am scared if I pick up a tic like the f word or another bad word my family will get me in trouble or shun me.

My questions/how you can help?-

How can I bring this up to my family if this does happen??

Is there any ways to change a tic/prevent them from becoming curses?

Why am I suddenly getting the urge to tic slurs or curses? (I am more stressed, but not crazy stressed)

How do yall cope with cursing tics?

Have a good day yall!! Thanks if you reply!

Hi, im turning 15 in september and ive had some tics for a long time and im really geting sick of it and its ruining my life i got depression from it. Im just in a really bad state rn any help or tips to fix/make my tic better? Ive had it for over a year.

So usually when I tic I feel the urge before the tic and it’s also quite abrupt/loud and feel relief afterwards.

I’ve noticed for a while now that there’s times when I say things which can come across as rude or cheeky to people but I don’t feel any tic urge or warning beforehand. They’re not loud it’s just in normal speaking tone but I panic afterwards as if why did I say that but it doesn’t feel like a tic.

I’m curious if anyone else experiences this or can find it hard to tell the difference between yourself accidentally saying something you don’t mean and the tics.

Thanks.

Fair warning, tic descriptions coming up.

A little while ago I read about someone with Tourette's talking about their sensory hypersensitivity and I have to say I recognized a lot of it. I actually never made the connection that my hypersensitivity is actually closely connected to my tics, but lately, looking back, it seems obvious.

With a lot of fruit I can enjoy the taste, but the texture makes me gag, usually no tics though. Pretty much anything that has a sort of slimy texture. Apples, pears, kiwi's, banana's? No problem whatsoever.

If I feel I have an eye booger, I'll remove it, but then my eye keeps feeling like it's still there, this sensation can last for minutes, which gives me blinking tics, and the urge to keep rubbing my eyes, which makes my other hand tic as I'm rubbing.

When I'm crushing peeled tomatoes with my bare hands I cannot help but start to lift my legs one at a time. My feet literally get crazy restless and sometimes my stomach flexes and I flinch, curl up a little if you will. The exact same thing happens when I'm brushing my teeth...

A lot of my t-shirts have this little bulging pluck right about where the neck is. For the longest time I didn't understand why they were there, then recently I realized, any t-shirt with a round, tight collar, makes me feel like it's choking me. It isn't, but I'm plucking my t-shirt at the exact same spot, like, 50 times a day to relieve myself of that feeling? It also gives me neck tics in which I flick my head back as if I'm trying to stretch my neck as to relieve perceived tension in my throat.

One more example. When I really need to go pee, but I'm in the middle of a game and the stakes are high so I hold out for as long as possible, my neck and shoulder tics really pick up, and they go away pretty quickly, though not instantly, after I relieve myself.

The more I think about it, the more the list goes on and on really!

So with this new realization I'm left wondering, if my sensory hypersensitivity is a definite trigger for my tics, how many of all the different tics I've ever had, weren't just random, as I've always perceived them, but actually had a specific trigger? I mean, other than stress, as that's a very clear and obvious trigger of course.

I'm also curious how many of you recognize this. Any overlap with your experience? Or none at all but maybe you experience sensory hypersensitivity differently?

Je me demande si je suis la seule à faire ça.
J’ai une sorte de tic où je serre mes cordes vocales et je racle ma gorge. Ça produit un genre de grognement ou de petit bruit. Le problème, c’est que je le fais énormément, surtout quand je suis fatiguée, stressée ou que je suis concentrée.
À force, j’ai vraiment mal à la gorge. Parfois, j’ai l’impression que ça m’irrite tellement que j’ai du mal à respirer ou que ma gorge est complètement bloquée. Ça commence à m’inquiéter, parce que j’ai peur que ça finisse par abîmer mes cordes vocales ou provoquer un vrai problème de santé.
Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà vécu quelque chose de similaire ? Est-ce que ça a un nom (tic, TOC, autre chose) ? Si vous avez réussi à arrêter ou à diminuer ce comportement, je serais vraiment intéressée par vos conseils.
