Coping With Insecurity
I posted about it before on an older account, but I went through a really horrific and traumatizing period at work where I was getting relentlessly scolded for having tics.
Thankfully, they've been down 95% of what they normally are (not getting into details but I found something that helped), so I would say the ableist harassment stopped but I haven't recovered from it mentally and I'm still around the same people who aren't too hostile anymore but are very much not sorry. It's mostly in the rearview mirror but I'm not really over it. I never retaliated against people like this because I've been fired for having Tourette's before and I have no hope that it would be anything other than ME that gets fired. Every time I have an infrequent tic, it doesn't feel too great internally and I'm very insecure.
A lot of us have been bullied for having Tourette's and I was wondering if anyone had any advice to share.
