Suppressing a tic is like suppressing a sneeze; eventually it\u2019s going to happen, so you\u2019re just delaying the inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m driving in my car (I\u2019m still not sure if this is legal yet or not) I let it all go, and it feel fantastic. This is usually because I\u2019m driving to or from work, where I HAVE to suppress it, so I\u2019m either wearing myself out beforehand or letting it out after. But still, I feel like I never take time to be completely myself in my free time and time with my girlfriend.<\/p>\n<p>However, nowadays small things have been seeping out, as I have said. The coprolalia in parts as well as more painful urges. I\u2019d be interested to see what it might be like to spend a full day with myself as I naturally am, and see how it felt to deal with the full onslaught.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following post is from Alec Stott, author of the Adult Onset Tourette Syndrome blog who this year, at age 21, was diagnosed with TS.
