Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition and disability which causes involuntary movements called tics. I use my platforms on social media such as TikTok, KZread and Instagram to advocate and raise awareness for the condition and show what it is like living with a disability as a teen in school.
My name is Zara Beth (zeezee25 on tiktok) and I post videos about tics, tic disorders and what its like to be a teen living with Tourette's syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and a seizure disorder (NEAD/NES).
I show what its like having tics and Tourettes in class and in school and college, vlog, and I also bake, do other challenges and answer all your questions in Q and A videos.
I am also an ambulatory wheelchair user so I show what life looks like using various mobility aids and how needs change from day to day!
I am also a musician! My newest release is my first single (original song) called "She's Mine" which is now available on all streaming services - I sing and play piano, guitar, ukulele and I write, produce, mix and master all my own songs and content myself!

Thank you for this! I’m going back to school in a week while I’ve developed some nasty symptoms which are making me more anxious than ever, I will sometimes even have to use mobility aids which terrifies me (teens my age can be quite nasty) 💜🙌

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD along with generalized anxiety, and I came across your channel! It's worth saying that it's been really helpful 💛
Would love a video on friendships and neurodivergency!
And I have an anxiety disorder, too, so so many things in common. Yes, they are different but there’s some commons too!
The list thing made my autism happy lmao I definitely see the potential for the tism in you tho I’ve never heard you mention it directly, just an observation⭐️ Anyways lovely video
Great Video! Anxiety & panic are constant companions that you need strategies for to deal with. Your tips are hopefully helpful to a lot of people. My sister hast dealt with severe anxiety and panic attacks for over 20 years now. At her worst she had trouble getting from the living room to the bathroom, taking out the trash or getting the mail were impossible obstacles for her. But she never gave up and kept working on her issues and seeked out help wherever possible and a couple of weeks ago she managed to do a overnight trip to the ocean which she loves. I'll send her this video, I told her numerous times that some form of meditation or mindfulness would be very beneficial for her, maybe this will do the trick ;) Stay sane and safe out there everybody! PS: That Top is super cute!
Watching your videos makes me calm down and have faith that things will get better soon ❤
Hi! Your videos really make me feel safe with my mental illness
I’m going back to school in less than a week and I’m so panicked bc everyone always decides on one person to pick on and bully and for the past 2 years I’ve been in the school they have picked me both times and I really can’t deal with it again!

First and amazing video Zara. You are such a rolemodel for everyone. Keep up the informative and amazing videos 😃
You are just so amazing. You don’t know how much this helps. Really good information. When I have an anxiety attack, it feels like there’s a million people, running through my body. I can’t sit still. I’m definitely going to try the stretching and yoga. My brain never stops. I really hope this helps. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much Zara Beth I have both depression and anxiety and this video is great. It gives me great tips on how to deal with my anxiety and depression. Plus it's great to hear another person's story who has the same conditions that I do too.
Ah this is so amazing for me, just being alone and away from triggers is what I really need to work on.
Thank you for this video!! Im currently having a tic attack right now and its really hard to calm down! I love your channel so much
I absolutely love your videos, you articulate everything so well thank you 💜 I’m autistic and also struggle With anxiety daily x
I can relate to you sm, i have a lot of problems and diagnoses but anxiety is number one. My anxiety started in kindergarten and it has been going up and down since then. Rn im in an extra anxious time, and i really really appreciate everything you do :)
Love the video and your cat doing his light movement in the background!
I always do my best to be as organized as possible. If anything is as much as even slightly moved 'wrong' from where I have/had it then it becomes a waste of my time which I does not make me the least bit happy.
Thank you for this. It did help me to understand my anxiety a bit better. You are doing an amazing job, hats off to you.
Thank you so much for posting this, I have really bad anxiety and Im having lots of signs of depression. So I’m just thanking you so much, you just made me life a lot easier! Love your videos thanks! ❤😊
You are such a strong and awesome person!!
Absolutely loved this video, thank you. You'll have helped a lot of people with your insights ❤
We all love you Zara , and I’m sure you’ve inspired thousands one day millions
Thank you. This is very helpful. I am going to follow these tips.
Thanks so much Zara, I have pretty bad social anxiety and I am quite nervous about starting high school, I will probably use some of these things, love your videos, well done for staying strong -Chloe 💗
PS Oh my gosh I so agree about yoga. I hadn't thought to put it so elegantly but yes, it being a physical way to release things is an awesome sensation.
Thank you!
Those glasses and outfit look great on you, thanks for posting a great video and have a great week!
Hey. I have ST since I was 13 when I was first diagnosis. Congatulations for your corauge and confidence to show about your life. Keep up with your content

I don’t know whether you’ll see this but exams probably start soon. So good luck! You’ve got this and for every exam you take give yourself a reward and remind yourself that your one step closer to being done with them. I believe in you!!
Heh, aww, that one little kitty tic that had musical notes this time made me giggle. On a more serious note as someone who deals with an astronomical amount of anxiety thank you. This was super helpful and I appreciate knowing I'm not alone. Lots of love to you dear
Thank you so much for the video Zara! As a person who deals with anxiety this is really helpful and i do agree with all those tips! I hope you have a great day :)

By the way i know that this is a very delicate question but i didnt really understand it when i searcher it and obviously dont answer if you dont want to. What is crashing? I mean what does it mean that you crash bc of chronic fatigue?
Zara is the best❤❤❤
Thank you 4 sharing 😊😊😊
i love your channel ❤❤
Preparation vanishes half of my anxiety, too
I know this doesn’t relate to the video but I need to know where you got your T-shirt?!
I’ve had underlying anxiety that’s just been getting more intense ever since I knew my grandparents are gonna visit in a few days. I know it’s hard to understand if you don’t have social anxiety, but it’s an absolutely horrible feeling. I’m also fully bedridden so it’s even worse since I’m sick and I have to greet them from my bed. I have so much guilt for not wanting to meet them. I hope this can help a little
Do you by any chance use smartphone/screens with OLED display? I dont have the condition that you do but OLED screens give massive eye strains and seizures whenever I use them. Even does to my mom. These screens have pwm flicker tech to control brightness. Our eyes are too sensitive to it, but a lot of people on the internet have also reported this problem. I have been using traditional LCD screens for all my devices and it doesn't hurt anymore.
I hope this helps me thanks for the video I have panic attacks sometimes a few weeks ago I had one and I couldn’t get out of it until I went back and I can’t do that in a chrusie I’m going to in 2 months
for me i sadly have to take sertaline since the age of 17 my brain over analyses everything and think of all possible outcomes to the situation but i do similar to yourself, thank you for the educational video Zara 😀
Thank you
Ooh, you love classical too? Excellent choice of music genre. I'd love to pick your brain sometime! 😘
I have a question (as someone with absolutely zero knowledge on Tourette’s, but a decent amount on most other neurodivergent conditions) for you to ponder on for a while (like at least an hour) before replying. Sorry I don't know the correct terminology but might it be possible that Tourette’s could actually just be physical and/or verbal stimming? Would you say that tics (?) are triggered when you need to regulate, focus, anxious or are over excited just like when stimming appears (for instance I noticed at the end of this video you were swapping between a ton of other stims and had no tics? happened)? I would consider my own stims involuntary, though now I deliberately try to stim if I notice I'm in sensory overload as it helps me to escape the overwhelm or to focus. It seems like perhaps tics (?) are like a sudden stim that catches you off guard or one that's repressed because it's perhaps deemed unwanted. Sorry I mean no offence. I'm just trying to broaden my understanding of neurodivergence and have a lot of theories that tend to be accurate so I want to check if that is the case or not. You are an amazing person and content creator so keep it up! 🥰

As far as I know, stimming is an urge and tics are completely involuntary. Tourettes is a neurological condition caused by the brain misfiring signals, whereas stims are (to the best of my knowledge) not. Different people have different feelings about this, but medically stimming and tics are different. Hope this helps

@@chloerichardson8008 thank you so much for sharing. It is all so fascinating and I've figured out so much since posing that question. I personally think all the different types of neurodivergent presentations are largely defined medically on how the body responds to perceived 'threats' by what resources the brain or more specifically the amygdala has and does not have access to (eg swearing, lack of language access), and what type of threat response it goes with (eg fight, flight, freeze, fawn etc). I also find the more your logical part of your brain tries to resist the amygdala, unfortunately the worse the amygdala lashes out (eg if I try to prevent myself an imminent yell/scream, I'll instead lash out aggressively physically).
I have an anxiety disorder and planning things in advance honestly stresses me out because it forces me to think about all the things I need to do then I become overwhelmed. I still haven’t found any good solutions for me nothing seems to work…
Thanks so much for this Zara these will really help me 💞💞💖💞💞💞💞💞💖🌹🌹💖💖💞💞💞💖🌹🌹💖💞

I understand, but people nowadays know what a panic attack is and your classmates probably have many problems, too.
Hi hopefully you answer this because I would love to hear back I suffer from epilepsy any movement disorder called cortical my clonus I am on medication’s for seizures, but I’m looking to possibly have an implant. It’s a very big question right now and thing in my life lots of complications and a very long story but to keep things short are you on any medication‘s? How long have you been dealing with your seizures and what kind of seizures are they , I really wish I had your number or some other way to talk to you because I have so many things I would love to ask and just talk about because I’ve been battling this battle for 10 years now January 4, 2013 was when everything happened and that’s when by everything I mean, a lot of things changed so I won’t go into that because it’s a very long story hotel hear back from you and talk some more because you seem like you are a very kind person and want to share what’s out there and get the world more knowledgeable about seizures and more! Thank you too for all you’ve done. God bless you.
Ngl you look like my 6th grade ela teacher

I need to be honest with you, I have the biggest crush of my life with you I really wish I can get to meet you sometime, I’m so amazed with every part of your being, and I know that it could be annoying or complicated for you, but speaking genuinely with my truth I love your tics and cute sounds you make like it’s the most adorable thing I have ever seen as well as all your expressions I feel like your beauty is not for everyone to see and I see it s clearly with my heart, maybe cuz it’s already yours but seriously I’m loving and enjoying so much everything that comes from you!!! Just want to send you tons of blessings and love, you deserve more than everything and I hope somehow I can be part if your life!!
