Tourette's Documentary
Tourette's Documentary
This is good documentary on Tourette's Syndrome. It's quite informative. It's also quite funny. And as someone with Tourette's, yes it's fine to laugh.

My physical tics are more like Billie's in this clip (sorry to put you on blast Billie ):
I have had them since childhood but they were mild enough that I could usually suppress them until I was alone or get away with just letting a few of them out in public (usually is the key word), but the frequency and severity increased a lot in 2018 and it never went back to the way it was before that.

Re: Tourette's Documentary
There are two reasons I am posting this.
1. It is good for people to see it and understand what it is so there is less stigma about it. When I was young there was a lot of stigma around this. Now, not so much. That is, in large part, due to Billie Eilish being a famous person and speaking about her Tourette's.
2. These kinds of things are inspiring for people who have Tourette's, and can help them feel normal.
Mine picked up in 2018, but I was used to having them, so even then I didn't speak to a doctor about it. Like I said earlier before that it was easier to suppress them and I just didn't really deal with it properly.
It wasn't until I saw this video which I will show below that I became inspired to get diagnosed and to be open about it.
Although I wasn't particularly of fan of hers at the time, she inspired me to do that with this interview. Thank you Billie. You are an inspiration.
Today, as I reflect on it on a few years later, I am so much better off for it. Thank you Billie.

Re: Tourette's Documentary
Astrology never ceases to amaze me. The sun is coming up to conjoin pluto which has to do with hidden hurts, wounds, and things that have hidden or unspoken powers. The sun is my 3'r house lord, and I was wondering for a few days how this transit was going to affect me. I had no idea I was going to create this thread today or even reflect on this (tourette's) a lot today. Clearly this is how this conjunction is manifesting for me.
As an aside, I looked at Billie Eilishe's chart, which is publically available, and her benefic jupiter sit's directly on top of my ascendant point.

Re: Tourette's Documentary
Virgo please can I ask you, how having Tourette's syndrom changed your view and opinion on dharma? Was it a determinant factor for choosing a buddhist lineage? Thank you

Re: Tourette's Documentary
I can't say it's really influenced which lineage I practice, but it was certainly influential in helping me realize the importance of the Four Noble Truths.
My compassionate teachers helped me choose the Mahayana.

Re: Tourette's Documentary
Can you speak more about this?
As someone who also has Tourettes, I still struggle to see it as anything but an affliction. It was much worse when I was a kid where I had vocal tics, but now it’s primarily facial muscles that I tense (which thankfully goes unnoticed by almost everybody).
I do find that getting caught up in the web of thoughts aggravates it which is good for awareness. Meditation stills it which is quite nice.
