Hi everybody.
It's been a long time since I've been on here.
So, things have been going pretty good.
Lately my tics have really decided to show out, though. Not a problem. I've learned to deal with them, work around them, etc. Last night I got this major headache and then started ticcing on top of it...bad combination. I ended up in bed early. I just wanted to cry, but that would only make my head hurt worse, and I figured that would probably make my tics worse.

I said my first full phrase the other day too. It was a bit odd.

Now, I'm hoping some mothers can maybe give me some advice on dealing with my mother.
My mom thinks its up to her to try to fix everything I guess. When she realized how bad I was ticcing again, she started going on and on about what she thinks the problem is. She thinks its green tea making it worse lately. I explained to her that I drink just as much green tea as ever. I even quit drinking it for a while just to prove that it's not the problem. I haven't been sleeping well for a while, and she knows that I've always had a problem with my tics being worse if I don't get enough sleep. She just will not listen to me! And I finally had to tell her to just drop it a couple times. I even told her that all she was doing was aggravating me and that only makes it worse.
I'm trying not to be rude cuz I know she's just trying to help, but shes driving me nuts! She doesn't understand that I'm fine! Nothing terrible is going to happen because I'm ticcing so bad. I would rather her just ignore it and pretend that it's not there and act normal like everyone else does! I need her to understand that I am an adult and she doesn't need to baby me. I mean, sure there are times when I need my mom and need her help, but I will ask for it when I need it.
The way she acts is like she doesn't like that I'm ticcing and she just wants me to stop so she doesn't have to deal with it. Maybe she really is just trying to help, but it's getting annoying!
