Hi everyone! In this video I will tell the story of how I hid my Tourette's from everyone I knew. Just a disclaimer - I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING WHAT I DID. It definitely hurt a lot more in the long run, and I would always recommend being yourself over hiding away. This story about my Tourette Syndrome is definitely not something I'm proud of, but now, as a girl with Tourettes I am wanting to spread the word and raise awareness about my disorder. It's important to note that my tics - motor tics and vocal tics - have gotten a lot better as I've gotten older, but I still felt the need to hide my Tourette's from everyone I knew. And I regret it. Hiding Tourettes was difficult and awful and I don't recommend it. The truth about Tourettes is that it's something that shouldn't be hidden - and we should work together to break the stigma. I would love it if you'd leave a comment letting me know what other TS themed videos you want to see on my channel!! Thanks for watching!! (: As always, the goal of my channel is to provide education about and spread awareness to what it's like living with Tourette syndrome. Thank you and have a great day!
