Feeling a little better about my new swearing tic thanks to my amazing friends! I was texting one of my best friends in college who is going to live in my suite this year and I told him about it. He was so amazingly supportive like always. We’re going to be in a class this year together and so he texted me back saying, “if you do it in class, i’ll give a mean glare to whoever looks at you!” He also\u00a0said, “I was going to say that I would swear with you, but then I realized that would cause more problems. haha, if we aren’t in class I’ll definitely join in.<\/i>”<\/p>\n
I have the best friends in the world! I was feeling so nervous about starting school with this new tic earlier today before I talked to him, but now I’m feeling so much more confident and less nervous about it. Out of all the things I can try to do to make myself feel better when i’m ticcing or nervous about ticcing, nothing helps more than when other people make me feel at ease about my tics by standing up for me when people stare, joining in with me, or joking with me\/making light of my tics.<\/p>\n
Accepting and supportive friends truly make such a huge difference in my life that I can hardly put it into words. Thank you to all those friends out there who are our first line in emotional support. You do more for us than you could ever imagine.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
