A mi me pasa que cuando tengo tics y estoy interactuando con una persona que también los tiene, me agarran más seguidos. No se como explicarlo ni se porque me pasa, solo se que es inevitable como ver a una persona bostezar y contagiarte del bostezo.
¿Saben porque pasa esto?
First and foremost: please keep it civil.
I’ve been thinking about apologies for tics recently. Including but definitely not limited to copro type tics.
There are tics that can harm or startle others, tics that can make others uncomfortable beyond just “tics are weird” ignorance. I’ve accidentally struck people, for instance. I always apologize. But it got me thinking.
A good apology involves recognizing harm, sincere remorse for the harm, acknowledging the impact of the harm, not making excuses for the harm, and committing to change, trying to prevent the harm from happening again.
If this is true, how can our apologies ever be truly satisfactory to others? Especially (but again not limited to) in higher stakes situations or for very severe tics like slurs, physical harm etc. We cant truly commit to change/not doing it again, because we cant control it. And we also cant say “I was personally wrong for doing that to you” because we cant control it and didn’t decide to do it.
I often feel my apologies are hollow because of this. I can only offer what I consider a partial apology. Most people are sufficed by that, but not everyone…do you see what I mean? I hate having to consider “how do I best apologize for who I didn’t decide to be?”
What do you guys think? All of our experiences will be different, so please, nobody try to posit that your way of handling this is The Best Way. This can be a sensitive subject. Just want to hear how you feel about it because I feel a little lost.
I feel so lucky right now. My olanzapine got in reased to 15 mg‘s in march and over the past few months my tic frequency got less and less. It had been a month till my last tic and the urge/ tic sensation that I always used to have is gone aswell. I know tics wax and vain over time but what if the meds supress them so well they don‘t come back ?
I’ve got a tic that causes me to roll my eyes upwards. Usually it’s more uncomfortable than painful, but sometimes I’ll get these headaches behind my eyes (or just one eye more often) that makes it hurt to roll my eyes back. I’m curious if anybody else gets this and has any advice. I can’t tell if it’s like an eye strain thing or unrelated headaches that my tics are just making worse. It’s quite annoying and painful and advil doesn’t really do much 😩
Any advice?
