Twitch Streamer On How Tourette's Impacts Her Life *UNSEEN FOOTAGE* | Minutes With |

Ойын-сауық

We checked in with Sweet Anita on the impact that the original video had on her. She shared the following message:
I have been on the internet for so long that every time I reach new people I unconsciously brace for the backlash, anger and accusations that come when people don't understand my condition. Instead I was overwhelmed with how much love and positivity came from this interview. Tourettes can draw a lot of attention and stares, but I rarely ever feel truly seen. Anyone can look up the definition but that doesn't tell you what it's like to live with it. It's a relief to not just be heard, but also to be understood. Thank you.

    She humbles me when I watch her stream. Thoughts on the pet-for-sale industry and perceptions regarding social constructs that are considered the norm have made me reconsider my every day existence. Ultimately she’s such an incredible human being, it almost hurts that she’s gone so much, and my experience is so tame compared to the struggles she’s gone through.

    10:05 “If you disengage from your anger and you don’t address it, you lose all hope that things can change. Anger is a hopeful emotion, it’s when you don’t stand for how things are and you want them to be better. If you lose that, it can be very defeating and depressing” never knew I needed to hear this.

    I have a little tip which might help some Tourette's sufferers. My tics began around the age of 4 or 5. Fortunately, they were just 'motor' tics (e.g. facial twitches and so on) rather than vocal tics which are somewhat more difficult to deal with. At the time, my mother took to slapping me across the face whenever my face twitched as she could not bear the embarrassment of other parents knowing that she had a 'defective' child. After one particularly unfortunate experience when I had taken part in a school nativity play at my infants school (I can still see my mother's face in the audience, purple with rage because I could not control my tics), I decided I had to do something about it. I reasoned that if I could transfer my tics from my face to somewhere else in my body where they could not be seen, I might obtain some respite - and might once again hopefully become a child that my mother would not be ashamed of. So I tried squeezing 'hidden' muscles whenever I felt a tic coming. For example, I tried squeezing the muscles in my wrists or in my stomach. Amazingly it worked and within a few days, both the facial twitch (and the face slapping) had come to an end. I have used this technique since that time (around 65 years), which has been so successful that virtually no-one knows that I have Tourette's - despite ticking maybe a thousand times a day. You can guess how surprised a neurology student friend of mine was when he hooked me up to an EEG machine for his PhD research and saw a level of brain activity in my motor cortex that literally went off the scale. In summary, this technique which I invented for myself at age 5 has meant that fortunately I have been able to avoid many of the more serious social consequences of Tourette's which many people suffer. So maybe others might find this technique worth trying (but bear in mind that it requires a huge amount of energy to keep it up during the day and it can really wear you out).

    This was an incredible interview, and she seems like an incredible person. I have autism and adhd myself, and have been around other neurodivergent people a lot in my life. I easily just see them as people like anyone else, but I've always struggled to accept myself for my autism and how it hinders my life. I get really bad sensory overload. I can't work or have much of a social life because I get so exhausted so quickly from literally everything, and that's so depressing. Like I'm rotting away in loneliness, unaccomplished and can't do anything about it. I got diagnosed at age 16 (I'm currently 32) and I still wish for a cure. But in the past few months, I've started to see a little glimpse of light in my condition, and I don't only hate it as much anymore. I've started going to a daily activity centre (pretend work for disabled people) close to my home, and it's great. I can nap there without getting shit for it, and socialize a little. I sleep several times a day just to be able to go there for a few hours a week, but it's worth it. Several people there are like me or have similar issues, and it helps me not beat myself up for my condition as much anymore. I met a guy there, who's also my neighbour, and we quickly became friends. He curses a lot, like really a lot, and talks non stop, but I'm not easily offended, and I care far more about intent than word choice. Especially when it's not even really a choice. So I gave him a chance and liked him more for every time we hung out. It was like a month after first meeting him that he told me has tourettes, and I was just like... oh, that explains a lot! So he didn't warn me, but also he didn't need to. I don't quickly judge people.

Casts just help to put the arm into a better position for healing and lock it so it doesn't move on accident. So, it would be pretty sad and unusual if the person has long term effects of the broken arm. But, it also depends on where and how it's broken of course, as to why I said I didn't want to speak for OP in particular.

I did not understand some of how she came off towards people. Having seen this, my heart has been touched and now can see past the ticks the wonderful person behind them now. Thank you for posting this interview and thank YOU Anita for doing it. So many have a misunderstanding of Tourettes, and this brings it farther out of the shadows of our ignorance into the light of understanding.

    I think I've seen her channel a while ago, she's got a lovely voice and demeanor. I can sympathise with alot of what she says due to my previous and ongoing struggles with anxiety and depression, it definitely gives you a stark reminder of the reality of life and the world. This LADbible Minutes With series is amazing.

    I have very minor tics, as an adult and since high school I have been good at controlling them around others and when I’m recording a video, but when I’m alone they just start up like I have to get them out, my tics resemble clearing my throat and the physical one resembles twitching. I have so much respect for her because she has Tourette’s a form of tics far worse than I have and I couldn’t imagine having to deal with them. I remember people mocking my tics when they developed in the 5th grade and my 6th grade teacher sending me to a empty room while taking a test and all the other student getting mad that I kept “clearing my throat” and I could only imagine what that’s like for her. This was a great interview!🙏🏾

    Brave woman... imagine if we all experienced this kind of ridicule, harassment, neglect and shaming, we would see a level of humanity this world has never seen. Thanks for sharing your story. Someone I know and love deeply has tourettes, I didnt know for a long time and found out because someone else in the room recognized it (they also had it) and called him out in front of me. I didn't speak to him about it, I waited for him to speak about it... the way he was treated by his own grandfather as a child, knowing his diagnosis, breaks my heart everytime I think of it. Good for u, u have every right to be you and speak...it is disgusting to think you have been banned for your disability. This video has helped me understand one of many layers of trauma the person I mentioned above experienced. I am truly grateful for your bravery.

    Thanks so much for telling us. I had ticks my whole life… some mental, some physical, some verbal and some just barely audible like repeating linguistic patterns or a slight but repetitive catching sound in the back of my throat. When I was little, my parents and family used to punish me or make me feel ashamed of myself for not controlling them. I know they did not mean me any harm, as they were mostly worried about how I would be perceived by others. This was back in the 80’s and there wasn’t any good information on them. I still struggle to this day and find it difficult to do much other than stay to myself and my immediate family. For years I used substances to cope with either the ticks… the fear of social interactions, and mostly the constant hyper sensitivity I have of my body sensations and the impending panic that comes from that sense of over stimulation. I don’t believe I have Tourette’s although who really knows… after seeing this, maybe I do. I think though that I might be on the Autism spectrum / Asperger’s and that a great deal of it is anxiety driven. It takes so much out of me just to make myself seem normal around others that by the time I get home, it feels like it takes me another full day… or three… just to recover. On top of that, I’ve gotten so good at masking the situation to fit in, that it makes me afraid to tell anyone out of fear that people will now think I’m full of it. Anyways now that I’ve written my life story here (sorry I’ve never really admitted it publicly before) 😬😳🙃 lol… well I just wanna say I loved the video and I’m so glad to see someone like you being able to find your place in the world and that people are starting to embrace “different” types of people for who they actually are, and not for just being able to fit themselves in to a typical conceptual category. We need “normal” people and “unique” people both.

    I can honestly relate to her. I stutter, I've been stuttering since I can remember. I can still recall how my backlash I got because I was unable to communicate, the same way others did. It got so bad that, for a time, I preffered not to talk to anyone. It also prohibited me from pursuing my goals. But guess what? You can learn to live iwth it, you can learn to use it, and you can learn how to work around it! Ultimatly Iwas able to find a way to make my stuttering work for me. Since I remember I wanted to serve in the armed forces. God knows how many times I've heard "NO". But hay, never take "NO" for an anwser, and keep on pushing. Been in the military for a couple of years now, never looked back. Life can be brutal, life will throw you a curveball. But it's up to us to dust our selfs off, get up and keep going. Belive me, it will be worth it at the end. Thank you for sharing your story. Stay the way you are, people like you make this world so much more interesting. Lots of love - Robert

This stressed me out I felt so alone so I started ticking. The he made comments about it so I supreessed my tics. When I suppress them I will shake and will be in a lot of pain. Once I got out of that I had a tic attack. People like you are needed
