Sick of Tics "Literally!"

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on in a couple of days, but I have been really sick, like throwing up sick. I threw up twice, and I could only eat jello and gatorade for a whole day! Oh well. But my shouting tics are getting much worse and I can't control the volume of my voice that much. I hate this tic more than any other tic that I have ever had before! On a brighter note, on Saturday I am going on vacation! But I am not looking forward to being stuck in a car for twelve hours with people who don't want to hear me shouting. This is such a hard tic to manage, my sister is already up my neck about even being near her, but this whole shouting thing now really annoysher. I can't be anywhere where she is, and that's kind of impossible because we are twins. It's so hard to go out in public without being able to really let go! Today I was out at a theatre and all through the play I had to bite my lip to keep from ticcing, and at the applause I looked like an idiot, shouting and ooing like a drunken voicebox. Well I guess I'll have to make due! But I have acupuncture tomorrow, so that is good! Till next time, see ya!

New school, New friends, New teachers!

Hi again! I had a fantastic time at the new school, and I barely ticced at all. I think it was because all the kids were so nice, it totally took my mind off of my tics. Every person wanted to meet me and get to know me, and all of them wanted me to come back and go to there school. I think that I want to go there next year, but I haven't decided yet. Although I think that all the students at the new school are such nice people, whereas the ones at my school now are jerks, I don't know about the teachers. My school now has great teachers but jerk students. And the new school has great students and mean, strict teachers. I still don't know what I want to do, so I am going to meet with the seventh grade students to see what they are like! I hope they're nice! Oh and guess what! They have lockers!! Well, till next time, see ya!

Dealing With It

Hi again, I've got some cool news! Remember how I said that my teachers and school really suck, well guess what! Tomorrow I am going to get to shadow someone at a different school, to see if I would want to transfer there next year in seventh grade. I'm a little worried about my tics getting in the way, but I guess I will have to deal with it, after all it is part of who I am. I really hope that I will like it there, because right now it is my only option, and I definitely don't want to go back to my old school! Well, I'll tell you about it after my day there tommorow, see ya!

Shout Out Loud!

Guess What! Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life, when I discovered that I have a shouting tic. Everytime I talk, I shout a lot, and I can't help it! But on the upside, my hissing tic that makes me sound like I have a lisp is mostly gone. But I would rather have that than this. I have to cut myself off from most people, and take sleeping medicine at night. I asked my mom about medicine for my tics, but she said that there aren't many and that they all have side effects, like drowsiness and weight gain. If anyone has had a shouting tic, can you please tell me, and if there is any good way to deal with it please let me know. I'm desperate!! Thanks, till next time! See ya!
