Tourettes and My Tics

Hi, I'm Alex, I'm 15 with a mild case of tourettes. Stress, Anxiety, and Panic attacks trigger my tic attacks. My tics cause me so much pain when it come to relationships. Lets say I'm kissing/making out with my SO, I could hit them, jolt, and possibly harm them. It really sucks, but its funny sometimes. 😂 For example, my vocal tics. Luckily, I have learned to restrain my tics for long periods of time. I guess it could be considered a disability, even though it doesn't keep me from doing really anything. (But making it sooo hard to type this correctly)

Usually things are considered a disability if you have trouble with or have to spend more time thinking about certain things that non-disabled people don’t have to, which it sounds like applies to you. But you are free to decide whether to consider yourself Disabled or not :)
