I have many disorders, the biggest of which is Tourettes (Tourette Syndrom, or TS)
I noticed the large amount of members, and think many of them may also suffer from this disorder, so if you have ts, or no omeone who does, please post experiences and ways you found releif.
I know that certain things (stimulants, stress) aggrivate my TS, which I have had for as long as I can remember, and at times it is so bad that I lock myself in my room and scream, amidst my ticcing.
I noticed that if I am really stressed, and think I may start to tic, or have started to tic, breathing helps.
Concentrate on breathing. Breathe in through your nose slowly for five to ten seconds, hold it in for ten or fifteen seconds, and blow it out for fifteen to thirty seconds. (you are able to tolerate longer times the more you do it.)
Do this for at least five minutes. whatever you are doing, just concentrate on it. Or even just make time in the morning and breathe like this for ten or twenty minutes. I've noticed that it really calms me down, and reduces or even at times prevents my tics.
