Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition and disability which causes involuntary movements called tics. I use my platforms on social media such as TikTok, UA-cam and Instagram to advocate and raise awareness for the condition and show what it is like living with a disability as a teen in school.
My name is Zara Beth (zeezee25 on tiktok) and I post videos about tics, tic disorders and what its like to be a teen living with Tourette's syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and a seizure disorder (NEAD/NES).
I show what its like having tics and Tourettes in class and in school and college, vlog, and I also bake, do other challenges and answer all your questions in Q and A videos.
I am also an ambulatory wheelchair user so I show what life looks like using various mobility aids and how needs change from day to day!
I am also a musician! My newest release is my first single (original song) called "She's Mine" which is now available on all streaming services - I sing and play piano, guitar, ukulele and I write, produce, mix and master all my own songs and content myself!
Thank you! Hygiene is super hard for me. With mental and physical problems I often get really behind. I’ll go way too long without showering or brushing my teeth sometimes and it’s so hard
Hi
I feel you 🫶🏼
I have mental, neurological and physical issues and especially during my high time of depression I really struggled with hygiene so much
I still often struggle with dental hygiene especially. Like I will often have enough energy to floss but once I’m done with that I don’t have enough energy left to actually brush my teeth
@@cottageCorebabe hey dont worry, most people don't floss anyway so if you only brush your teeth and dont floss, you will be fine
@@lillly1188 Thank you
But also sadly, no
Cause I got shit genes, so my teeth are about 20% softer then average human teeth, which means, either I floss + brush, or I have dentures by the time I'm 50
It's so nice to see that I'm not alone in this, I struggle extremely with taking care of myself by showering, brushing my teeth and just getting out of bed. I feel really ashamed of it sometimes and I'm really happy to hear someone say it's natural and not our fault❤
thank you for keeping it real and sharing this! my ocd makes me do some funny things like that sometimes too. and i just got out of a depressive episode and i can relate to the self care. thank you for being real with us ❤
This is so real
I’m in a bit of a pickle, I am burnt out both mentally and physically, partly because I’ve just been told I have anorexia and partly because I keep pretending I’m fine. But because of my ocd I force myself to keep my room and everything clean which is adding to the chaos right now I was wondering if anyone has any helpful tips?
@@Sunghoons-new-Jake i’m so sorry you’re going through this. when i was diagnosed with a few different mental illnesses, all i could think about was them. but try to just live life as normally as possible. try not to make anorexia the only thing you worry about and such. i’m sorry i might not be helping but i’m trying i’m sorry
@@snicole24 you don’t have to apologise it’s not your fault and your right I shouldn’t let it get to me. I’ll try my best thank you so much 🤍
@@Sunghoons-new-Jake i’m sorry idk if that was good advice
Autistic person here, I sometimes have a really hard time doing "basic" things like brushing my teeth (in the mornings) or taking a full shower, so I appreciate you talking about this!
Same but I can hyper focus on studying a time board an learning all presidents of the USA (I am European) till 2 am
"You can only do what you can do, and that is enough." Bruh 😭 I don't know why this made me cry but I feel this in my soul. 🥺 Guess I needed to hear it. 💜
I have OCD, and I have a really hard time with this. Sometimes people think I’m rude and I have to apologize because I’m kinda embarrassed to be like “oh no it’s my OCD” but it’s ok, because it’s not always like that. Sometimes I have really intense intrusive thoughts. But anyways thank you for sharing!
"You can only do what You can do, and that is enough." I've never heard anyone say it like that before. That's lovely.
Some basic task for others is talking.
I find it really difficult for me to say a few words while everyone else talks like they don’t think about it.
Tics, seizures, OCD, fainting
Respect for you 💛
fainting?
does she have a treined dog for that situations?🤔
@@lunadarkness03If I’m correct she doesn’t.
I have OCD but for a last few years it's not that bad but when I was around 9,10,11 i had to do my every move with my hands equally. Literally every move. It was really frustrating and it was a hard part of my life. Thank you for sharing this. It makes me feel better, that I am not the only one who struggles with OCD. ❤❤
Wait omg I do this. I don’t have ocd, but like I need to do something the same amount. Like I need to step in the parts of the concrete the same, like twice per square, and if I mess it up, I have to do it to the other leg, and like if I touch something I have to do it with the other hand. Like I have to do one squirt of shampoo with left then right then feel weird about starting with left so then I do right then left idk if this is the same thing as you but I totally relate with that
@@elephant1871 exactly. I did these things too. When I did something with my hand I had to do it again with my other hand.
I had a few of these when I was around that age 7-11 or so
I used to have some moves I did with my hands and once I started I had to finish the sequence
And looking in mirrors, checking the corners of each room in a little routine
I used to do an odd thing with my wrists/hands on my face, as if I had an itch
Idk it's coming back to me now,
It was just like once I started it with one hand I had to repeat with the other in a single single double x2 format
@@sssophie9292 yes. The hand movements are so annoying. I also heard that OCD can return back anytime. When you're adult it can come back in the stronger or different version. Be strong ❤
@@dessieeditss thank you
You take care (:
This really helped me! I have ADHD and Fibromyalgia. It is a constant struggle to care for myself, and sometimes I can't get what I need to sleep well at night. My pain levels can be awful, and it is tough to do schooling and find a job. I am currently struggling with my mental health a lot due to all this. People constantly are telling me to just do it. My parent often will tell me to stop making excuses when I am telling the truth that I cannot do something at that moment. I end up either pushing through and being in an incredible amount of pain after or I don't do it and lose my electronics or other things. One of the worst times this has happened, I had put in a load of laundry but I was in too much pain to fold my clothes. My parents said that if I didn't fold my clothes right then and there they would take them. I do not wish for anyone to have a physical or mental disability. Keep up the good work to change how some people view others!
Thank you!! My OCD does the exact same and I'm so happy to see that others can relate to the exact same thing
Me too
Hey Zara! your such a kind person. your beautiful and you seem like the nicest person ever! You're so strong and brave for keeping yourself going even with your mental problems!♥️ ♥️
Zara you have a great feeling of not just yourself and your own difficulties, but how other people's struggles can be very difficult and to be understanding of everyone.
Yes girl! You are a truly amazing soul! ❤ My OCD makes me want to stay inside all day.
When you started talking about the hygiene part I immediately felt spoken too, I have been told off and judged for not keeping hygiene up but I've never, not even ad a kid, could keep up with everything people wanted me to do and I literally started crying when you started talking about it because someone see's, someone understands. Thank you ❤
I have both OCD and Tourettes, and watching your content makes me feel more comfortable! Thanks for making this!
Oh my godness yes 😢 one of my best friends has dyslexia and i always feel so bad constantly correcting her 😭 i think ive reached the point that ive got used to it so it doesnt bother me as much but i think she understands and we sort of make a joke out of it 😂
Thank you so much I struggle a lot with my hygiene because of my mental health, but if I don't shower or get ready I know I will fill lazy and make myself worse, so even just cleaning my room is a huge accomplishment for me!
I have contamination ocd, at its worst I couldn't eat because I'm was so scared of the germs. It makes self care really hard. Luckily I've gotten alot better after doing ERP. To anyone else struggling you got this it won't last forever, I'm so proud of you today.
This helps because I struggle with OCD not a lot but sometimes I have noticed something that even during school it has happened.
I had a fresh note book I as doing great then my notes started to get a little sloppy and it was bothering me and I couldn’t stop thinking about it, got so bad to the point where I threw the whole book away I was only 3 pages in and I was able to rip them out I felt disappointed but at the same time I was happy at the same time😂
Youre right we really are trying our best
This is a really positive message that needs to be spread!!! You do you, and try your best at life!! ❤❤
She swallowed my kids
I have OCD too and I'm neurodivergent too. It's exhausting but now I been better than before
Hi Zara!I hope you keep on posting and stay strong! Your a amazing person,keep doing what you do!❤❤❤
thank you for this!!!! ❤ I experience this w/ my ocd as well & end up feeling so frustrated w/ myself because I hate to confront others, even when it’s a small thing! I really appreciate you shining the lens on this part of ocd- it’s something so rarely talked about. so many people just think that ocd is the stereotypical “wash your hands 20 times or your brain convinces you your dad will die” (which is a valid experience!), but ocd can also look like this: a corrective obsession (spelling or grammer for example) & failing to correct leads to rumination.
OCD, tics, seizures, fainting, keep posting and stay strong. You are an amazing person. Keep the amazing work up and keep that smile have some faith in yourself.❤❤❤❤❤
I cried at the hygiene part, I struggle really hard to keep up good hygiene.
You are so motivating❤️ you have saved me in ways you don’t know. Thank you for making it feels like someone understands
I can relate so much. You are not alone.
The ocd is relatable..I used to struggle with it..thank you for raising awareness. I correct spelling too. It makes me feel weird if I don't. I do things sometimes but my brain has to or I'm uncomfortable. Again, thank you for raising awareness. 🙏🏻 ❤️
When I was a child I hated showers I would throw a fit and cry because it was to much sensory stimulation and would go weeks without showering or baths and would get filthy, and I still struggle with self care and my mental health to this day ❤😊😢
Thank you! I have OCD and can relate to this so much, for a few years it was terrible but now it’s kinda alright and I just hope everyone is doing alright 👍
I wish more people had such kind heart as you do ❤ thank you for existing, you may not realize it but you're such a help. Especially for saying the last few sentences about basic tasks
For a few years I had OCD and didn't know it until recently. The sad part is nobody understands. Yesterday I spent about 20 mins just drawing my curtains, felt like somehow light would come in no matter how perfectly I pull the curtains and then I got yelled at for it. It's so frustrating
Wish my teachers would realize that the way they learn and the way they think isn’t the only way
I really struggle with correcting people and I hate when it’s teachers that I have do do it to
Girl you're so sweet and downright gorgeous. You carry yourself so well with all the difficulties you face, and it's great to see such a good model for others 😘❤️
I have ocd and I hear a little voice at the back of my head saying tap the wall 4 times or your family dies I have to do it.
Also don’t feel like that it’s just the way you are and you have helped me so much after I found you channel I love you your the best
My OCD makes me have to put everything in order and the grocery store whether it be cans to carts in order 😅 and on top of everything I am germaphobic 😂 so I yeah I get ya girl 😂
You are a breath of fresh air talking about yourself
I experience the same thing with my OCD and having to correct people. I do my best to explain my struggles both over text and in-person, but even then people usually take offense to it. It's very very difficult to do, but I try to condition myself out of it as much as I can just for the sake of people's reactions. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not 😅😅
she is so wholesome and i love her so much
Thank you Zara! You are just a person that we need in the world. Daily things something are stupid hard for me. I currently have Autism but Im going though the process of getting an ADHD diagnois because I fed up of the dealing with my mental strain and I just want to support my dad but I stuggle.
As someone who struggles a lot with hygiene and has been for years , thank you . I used to be so ashamed about it . Thank you 🫶🏻
I struggle with taking care of myself, also taking my meds
I have autism and i have these "episodes" which is basically when i have break downs. Like if i have these episodes it is usually when people dont understand what im saying or loud noises. I got diagnosed when i was 3. I feel really bad when i dont understand someone's feelings.
I never realized i wasn't alone with struggling with hygiene. It's not that i don't want to shower, it's just a struggle to actually do it. I have OCD and severe anxiety, so i don't know if that is part of it. I have 3 children, and my oldest son has autism, he has tics, not this severe, but it is something he can't control.
I struggle with hygiene when my mental health is bad, that results in not showering for days, sometimes weeks, and not brushing my teeth or washing my face.
As a result I feel gross so my mental health gets worse and it all just spirals really
For me I find it hard to stay on top of my hygiene. I know it sounds disgusting to others, but it is really hard for some people (like me). It has been getting better with things like washing my face; but it is still very hard and I get very disappointed at myself for not doing what u should everyday.
I have ocd to and really bad anxiety troma to but u make me feel so good five times a day I have a panic attack or a headache but u are Motivating me so much ❤
I DO THE SAME THING (THE FIRST ONE) AND IT SUCKS BECAUSE MY SISTER IS DYSLEXIC SO SHE MAKES SO MANY LITTLE MISTAKES!!
Omg I have that too! correcting people cuz of my ocd, ik thought I was just an asshole for so long until I realized it was just that
I don't mind being corrected, your amazing for sharing you're issues. #feelfreetocorrectme
Your*😂😂😂
I have very bad OCD and sometimes i have to follow a pattern and one time i was stuck tapping a wall 5576 times.... We counted it and it wasnt funny cause i was more slapping than patting the wall, it was at school they tried to get me to leave but i cant, i cant controle myself when i have a OCD thing again
I'm Brazilian and I'll speak in Portuguese so you never forget me. Você é especial e nunca deixe que digam o contrário!
let's be honest Zara, you have a very pretty name and are so sweet and kind. and i feel u bc i do the exact same things with my ocd and depression. i just wish people would see others with these things the same as other people they may hang around. have a good day/night!
I have the same ocd as u my friend is dyslexic I bet you can tell where this is going, every time I read something she writes I correct it I also have ocd bc when I go upstairs with my mum I have to step in every room before she does idk why she doesn’t know but we have gotten used to it 😂😂❤❤❤
Hey I'm in the hospital right now because I've been having fainting episodes and I'm scared but I just keep watching all of your videos❤it makes me feel better. Especially the videos of you fainting❤love you so much
Wise words from one so young, an old soul 💜✌️👍😊
I have dyslexia and it is extremely frustrating when you're just trying to do everyday tasks, like taking notes, texting, or school work. I find it really annoying when one minute you're perfectly fine can spell like someone without dyslexia can. Then the next minute you cant. Love your vids!!
Just love and appreciate you so much, lil sis! ❤
I’m similar. With the first one it doesn’t help that my best friend is dyslexic so she commonly misspells stuff. And I struggle with hygiene, my family doesn’t rlly understand that though like sometimes but brushing my teeth or washing my face or having a shower I’m supposed to have that day (rarely the shower one though)
Legit you said it nicer then other people. Like a year ago, a girl I thought was my friend made a qna video on yt. I asked her a question and said "What is your favorite GATCHA charactor" as she was mainly a gacha life youtuber. She made fun of me that entire rest of the video, like sure she has corrected me many times, but im a very forgetful person. I felt horrible. Im not gonna say any names here just saying, but I did get her banned from yt.
God I love u! I'm 42 n just learning what all my mental health has had an influence on my choices. Once I've learned I can change or address it properly!
YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON AND INTELLIGENT. ❤❤😊😊😊😊
Thank you for pointing out that doing small basic tasks can be a struggle to some people and it is to me. I have depression and mornings I just can’t get up because I have no energy and motivation. You really speak for everyone and that makes me happy. That why your a great person.
P.S. your very pretty and I enjoy your videos a ton!!
Hygiene is also an impossible feeling part to my day I have meltdowns and sensory overloads and it’s never enjoyable (I am autistic btw)
I have to do the same thing! For corrections online I'll usually put it like (pssst, I think you meant/did you mean "correction"?) Sometimes with an explanation, depending on the situation. It's gone over well every time, 'cause a lot of people do it very rudely on purpose. Kindness is always appreciated 😊
I totally get what you mean about needing to correct people
ima correcting person and I am dyslexic so I mess up alot I love this combo ^^😅
You are so sweet! Happy life!❤️
I totally relate to the first part, even though I don’t have OCD. I have to correct people and also feel so guilty for doing it but something in me makes me do it. And if I don’t do it my brain just can’t focus on anything else which stresses me out even more than I already was.
I'm AuDHD, which means I need routines and structured order to function but I can't do repetitive things to save my life. That means things like brushing my teeth is a constant struggle since I can actually feel physical discomfort of having to do it. Not only does my brain remind me of it all the time, but my body is "hell nah!". Same goes for any medication I need to take for more than 10 days straight. I'd rather starve than eat the same thing more than two days in a row. It's so frustrating having those two sides compete.
Add to this my ME(/CFS) and the energy levels are just nonexistent.
I also struggle with not correcting when someone says something factually wrong. I don't have compulsion to do so, but I will spend way too much energy thinking about it if I don't. And yes, I do fact check myself too, frequently.
You’re so kind to yourself about your OCD. 😅 I had to learn to feel like an asshole, and these days, I try not to let it get to me but sometimes I just gotta go and yeah I do feel like a dick about it at times (fucking autism.) 😂 I will always correct someone on my last name though. Either spelling or pronunciation, especially if it’s spelling in a work or school setting because to me this just basic self-respect and it’s something that a work-place especially should know how to do!! It’s not like they have my name on 20 different pieces of paper or anything. 😤
When im in speech class and when my friend says a word wrong my ocd makes me correcting her but my speech teacher told me to stop correcting her
I just ended my OCD treatment and I am soooo happy!!!!
I was having a really bad day today and hearing your voice really helped and although i don't have any disabilities i massively respect the care and love you put in your videos to support diabled people. Keep up the great content!❤
i do the same thing with my ocd and everyone always tells me i make things to specific, so it’s so nice to see that I’m not alone
That higeine thing? That’s the epitome of me sadly.
I currently struggle with big depressive thought (hint hint) and making sure I don’t over eat or under eat, that showering just, falls to the way side. I think I’m gonna talk to my therapist about that.
my memory's really shit so i don't know how long it went on for, but i used to be afraid of showering for a while after it almost made me vomit (i have GERD). i would wash every body part individually, and sometimes just my hair. it was really hard for a while, but eventually i learned how to shower again and now i'm doing it regularly :)
I just hate showering in the winter. Idk if it's all on my mental health but yeah, I barely have the energy to do my school work and showering is just another bothersome task to fulfill.
as someone who gets corrected a lot, I promise we don't mind. You don't have to feel bad cause honestly I appreciate the fix, even if it wasn't my fault
You talk about your OCD, like its something you cant control, like its a tic. But the fact is, you can change your ways when it comes to your ocd. You can keep neglecting your urge to correct someone, and after a while, you will stop feeling like your day is ruined, and it will become as normal as anything else 😊
I feel so seen, thank you ♡ personal hygiene is so hard for me
Hello Zara! I love your videos!
I have Anxiety so every time I’m witnessing drama I HAVE to tell someone or just go away because the more I experience conflict the more anxiety I get but if I’m part of the drama then I’ll hold a grudge and I’ll have to let out my thoughts so I don’t have to deal about it again. And I also have ADHD! So during conflict, my ADHD and Anxiety just work together to make me nervous and begin stimming so that’s another reason why I should tell someone or just not be near.
I appreciate you talking about your daily experiences with your condition.❤My chronic illness is narcolepsy I am exhausted a lot of the time…it can make it difficult for me to do basic task like cooking so I can eat.
Thank you for talking about OCD and mental health!
Your so lovely. Thanks for educating us and making us aware of the many consequences of this condition..
It’s all we can do girl is to do your best and never give up. I send you hugs and love to you.❤❤
I greatly appreciate what you do and have vast respect for your ability to stay strong despite all you face. I struggle with a lot myself and I know some days are worse than others and it can be very difficult to push through. I've struggled with PTSD and depression for some time now and I think what's hardest of all is people who don't understand why I am this way and not having anyone who can relate to what I've been through. I spent a few years in the military and have seen vast horrors. It's also difficult to know what I'm capable of. It's incredibly rare for me to talk about my experiences because I feel judged for it because most people who weren't there have no clue and are unable to picture these things being true. I also fear my family not being able to see me the same way. It's a daily struggle but I do all I can to cope and keep pushing forward. Sadly there's not much help out there for veterans and it's why so many roam the streets homeless or choose to end life entirely. You might not have served but the mere fact you are capable of staying strong and give everything your very best. You mam are a true warrior 🪖
Yay, someone who understands. I guess theres still hope in the world.
I appreciate you so much
Hi zara firstly amazing name secondly you have gorgeous eyes and thirdly thank you for sharing your strugles so others can learn you are a amazing person in every way!!!
Girl ty so much for all ur videos u are an inspiration to me bc I get tics n seizures n it sucks to have problems n other don't get it..❤❤❤
You're beautiful ❤
Your kind and I feel like that to but not with OCD I have adhd
I have ocd and I have to have everything the same everything symmetrical and I have to feel things until they feel right. So I feel you ❤❤❤
Kinda fun and just random fact: Both of these are signs of autism as well, some autistic people can have OCD traits as a trait of autism. These can also be symptoms of other mental health problems and or disorders
(Don’t use to self diagnose or anything I’m just very obsessed with learning about autism right now and I just want to say because yippie)
Thank you I relate to both and I don’t have OCD
A lot of the time I don’t eat drink or any stuff that I need to do that my body needs all day and I’ve been struggling with that for years I eventually stopped eating almost full about 2 years ago when these girls told me I eat too much and that I was getting fat but last year the opposite happened I was eating again at this point and I was happy with what my wight was but that all changed when I hurt my back a bit at school and the nurse told me that I must be starving myself or I was being starved I told her that I didn’t like how she was commenting about my body. and that day I started eating more and more but no matter how much I ate a gained no weight until about a month or 2 ago when I finally gained some weight I was super happy and I asked my friend how she thought I looked since I was proud that I was gaining weight but she commented on my body and I stopped eating for about 2 days then my mum said she had more fat on her big toe that made me laugh and I was loving my body again until new year and I was back to hating how skinny I was and this really helped
Sorry for the massive rant 😢
