i desperately need advice, parents wont help.
I am a 14 year old who has tics and I got conscious of it when I was 5 when I couldn't stop blinking rapidly, I really need help as it has been bothering my studies, I tried to talk it to my parents earlier in my life and they always noticed I did those "weird" things like how I couldn't stop jerking my head and stuff like that, and all they said was... "it's just mannerisms it will go away" they kept using that excuse for years. Not wanting me to go to a Psychiatrist/Neurologist, i knew they are afraid. They are afraid that their normal child has problems. Every day my health keeps deteriorating, no matter how much I try to control my tics they just seem make it worse. I also cant stop chewing anything and doing stuff like "I have to do that or something will go wrong" for example whenever i sing i will get bad luck, its like stuck inside my mind that doing that specific task will trigger something. My parents won't help me, people keep pointing it out and make fun of me, I can't focus on school and I'm scared of my future.
not only parents though, my whole family wont take it seriously. I talked my problems with my aunt who also had mental problems but ironically she said the same thing, mannerisms.
