Hey 2ndfloor,
I have Tourette Syndrome and this sucks! It's like I was cursed at birth to have nothing but a sucky life. I'm overall pretty normal (except for being transgender ftm but people accept that more). I act like your typical teenage boy. Video games, biking, being gentleman-like, and guitar are my life. But I am still a girl who gets a period. My tics are usually mild but when it gets to that time of month, they get really really bad. Kids at school already make fun of me when they are mild. all i usually do is a low grunt every couple minutes but even then nobody wanted to sit next to me, they'd call me names, they'd say "who's making that noise?" and "stop making that noise.", some people mimic me. This is bad because that's when they are mild. Now that time of the month is coming and i cant stop making these loud obnoxious noises and facial twitches. Great timing for this too (sarcasm) because it is the end of the marking period and we have so many tests. Tests=quiet classrooms. my teachers know or at least should know about my tics. I don't want to be put back in special ed. I'm really smart for even the normal classes but my damn tics keep making it hard to do any homework or any simple things that i like to do like playing video games, and guitar. I think that my teachers think that i'm just being lazy which urks me because it is actually really hard for me to get a simple task done because i need to constantly stop, twitch, and restart.My brother also makes fun of me and will mimic me always and tells me to shut up when i'm ticcing which is a real pain in the ass cuz he also has tourettes. i wonder what the hell is going through his mind when he tells me to shut up. I mean, he cant shut up if i told him to. logic=there is none.
I only see one bright side and that is that people in my grade from my home town are used to my tics and it doesn't bother them cuz we grew up together. but alas, my grade from my hometown is only 8% of the entire high school.
Another good thing is today, a guy who is my former best friend's (they moved but came back. we drifted) brother who is usually an arrogant jerk was actually really nice to me in class when people started asking who was making the noises. He sits in front of me and they started blaming him for the noises. He could have easily ratted me out because he knew it was me but he just said that it wasn't him. then the teacher asked and he raised his hand as if to have a question the test and when the teacher came over, he explained to him quietly that it was me and that i cant help it.
Sincerely,
Twitchy
PS> I know my grammar and spelling is bad. Can you blame me? tourettes, 9:30pm, and rage typing...
