come back next week for *I spent a day with FAMOUS DRAG QUEENS*! shoutout to everyone who has turned on notifications 🔔 and directly support me in continuing this series.
I liked her! Those tics, very entertaining. What i like, is that you don't have to view other peoples' tics as annoying or something to make them aware of. They are funny, and brings a lighter moment where you can just laugh along with them rather than of them! Make tics something you all can bond over, and think positively of! Her tics made me laugh and feel kinda happy. They were entertaining! Positive. To be honest, i have never before this video seen a tic and actually thought it positive like this, and just enjoy what i saw. Im glad. ----------------------- I myself have Tourettes, and two particular tics appeared and became kinda more frequent as most of the video went on. My left eye gets sorta irritated, and i tend to roll my eyes, mostly pick/rub on that part of the eye to try lessen the reactions i have there. As well as a sound i make with my throat, but not my throat clearing tic, just some sort of a vocal tic. So i have a history with Tourettes, and hope this video will be very helpful for me! It was very nice to watch.
Actually people that have had hardship and been treated badly by others are exactly the same people that tend to become extra nice and not wine as much.
Seriously the girl who has the hat on, her mom was the worst. Her arm was broken and she was shaking it and telling her not to make a fuss. Her mom doesn't deserve her.
@@ljbarrowmanlj8542 She streams on Twitch, she's a cool dude. She was on a Sidemen video just before the lockdown that was pretty hilarious too. Watching them trying to navigate what she was saying was actually really interesting.
"I dont see my tourettes as who I am, I see it as my challenge. Everyone get's challenges, and I'm not defined by the fact that I'm facing it, I'm defined by how I handle it" damn i felt that
to add to her challenging past, she actually had a banana tick that people literally used on purpose. She actually choked up blood once because she couldn't stop
Oh yeah the banana tic, I remember watching one of her streams once and everyone in chat just spammed the word banana and she chocked up blood and almost cried
@@guest00108 she would say in a really high pitched voice "Ba-NYANYA, I love baNYANYA!" and it would distort her throat so much that it would cause her to bleed 😢
The past can be horrible but you're amazing and have done something incredible being so open about it and letting others know and she's so brave to be able to say about it
I have a tic where I shout "Butterfly". There was this one time when I ticked and there was an actual butterfly near me and there was this little boy that heard me and said, "It looked more like a dragonfly to me". It made my day :)
@@AckYes correct, because repetition is the best way to remember something. that's why the catchiest part of a song is (typically) the chorus, that's why masters of martial arts train for their whole lives, and that's why book writers will refer to an important detail multiple times over the course of a book. humans are _literally_ built to learn from repetition.
I was really angry with that women, I mean, at what point do you decide that it is a good idea to CRUNCH THE BROKEN ARM OF A LITTLE GIRL?! Fuck, just keep that woman away from childrens and teenagers for the rest of her life.
How the one girl was treated as a kid, how she was yelled at and told off for it and basically abused explains more clearly why she always feels obligated to apologise, even though she doesn't have to.
I’m sure a lot of people will disagree with this, but I don’t really see it as a bad thing that she apologizes for her tics. I understand that she can’t control it, but like she said, she’s just expressing that she isn’t trying to interrupt or be rude.
I was diagnosed with tourettes when i was really young. The way they described the feeling of having a tic is spot on. I have a tic where i shake my hand or head. Its like a tingly feeling in my chest that wont stop until i do it. The longer i dont the stronger the feeling gets
I get feelings like that in different parts of my body where its almost painful to not move. I dont think it's tourettes in my case though. Its like the explanation on restless legs, but I get it in different spots sometimes but mainly my legs. I twitch my knee muscles in and have to kinda pull other muscles.
i feel this a lot, but i believe it's due to autism. i'll turn my head like i look like i'm trying to crack my neck, twitch and jerk my fingers, and click my mouth. but they're not exactly involuntary so i don't believe it's the same thing. i did feel the description of the urge as feeling like you have to cough though
I do similar stuff but its cuz im autistic and for me they arent tics they are stims but some stims are involuntary or very difficult not to do especially when im stressed or tired
My big sister has tourettes and i seeing the fear when Anita was talking about being near cliffs with friends really hit home because Dea has pushed me down the stairs and punched me and is always so upset, even though we know it isn't her fault. I'm really glad this episode showed a more realistic side to the syndrome, rather than the oddly hyped up version of coprolalia.
You're so understanding! I don't have tourettes and I'm not trying to be rude but The cliff conversation really makes me scared. I know it differs from person to person but Is that happening rare? I know they have no control but it seems really scary to me.
@@prim_manga9885 Not many people have it that bad. The best thing is just to keep the distance, but never bring it up if you're in that scenario. eg, if you're at a cliff don't say "Don't push me" even as a joke, or anything like that in different situations. Or they will. It's an intrusive thought, and they're emotion based. If they get more built up anxiety about it, they are more likely to do it. Just
@@emmalucas5307 and one time they were spamming another trigger word that makes her say a thing over and over again (banana, it isn’t a tic anymore) and since she has an autoimmune disease, her vocal cords started BLEEDING. Because she said it so much. Honestly, I don’t think the people who do that deserve the title “fan.”
@@timberwolfy9865 she does have mods but she consistently gets over 1000 viewers so it's like impossible to moderate :( and banning the word banana wouldn't have helped bc what if someone doesn't know that's a tic and it comes up naturally?
“I don’t see my Tourettes as who I am, I see it as my challenge. Everyone gets challenges, and I’m not defined by the fact that I’m facing it, I’m defined by how I handle it.” 👏👏👏
"Does Tourette's interefere with relationships?" As a person with Tourette Syndrome, ABSOLUTELY. I hade a girlfriend who had Tourette's as well and we could never spend any time with each other because we would always set each other off. She was a great partner.
Yeah, I feel so bad. It even made a crunch sound and she couldnt show that shes hurt because shes gonna be scolded. They also threatened to take her tea (i think that means food and stuff). Its disgusting how parents like these exists. And so what if shes attention seeking, first of all, you cant assume that. And second, if she is, that means you arent giving her the attention she needs.
And then getting fucking nagged at whilst not being able to be express your pain of a broken arm, expecting to be quiet. What the fuck. That pisses me off.
@@sleeppyy3221 yea and because she had the n word tic she couldn't even call her dad cuz he was black and she was scared that she was gonna say it. I feel so bad for her.
Ya ONLY ONLY ONLY time I let someone trigger my tics is if they're my friend and I ABSOLUTELY NEED IT like I have tics where I can't "satisfy" and my friend triggering another tic helps
Yeah, it's really cruel. Some tics are even dangerous and painful. One of my alters has tourettes and he has a tic where he kinda snaps his head to the side really fast and sometimes he has to hold his head in between his hands or legs because he's hurting his neck so bad. It's so mean and embarrassing for someone to trigger someone's tics without their permission
I had that at summer camp this year, i was okay with most of them, but one of my best friends accidentaly caused me to first hate bees, then shout "fuck the bees" then say "hey a bee" and clap my hands, to eventually threatening almost everyone there that I was going to murder them and their families. So sometimes it was ment as nothing bad but tics like that happen. With a lot of my friends I'm pretty okay with it but definitly ask the person about it
A friend of mine has tourettes and if you cough he would cough along no matter what. I never thought of playing around with that, never... but a guy we know while he was talking to him started coughing just to see for how long it would have worked. I mean, testing it once or twice may be okay but exploiting it is just disgusting
I was hospitalized at a psych ward with a girl with Tourettes and one of her tics was smacking stuff. My favorite memory of the place is probably when I was peacefully eating lunch in the cafeteria and she sat next to me, then smacked me on the arm with a banana. Me, being confused af, just looked at her and maybe that embarrassed her or something because she suddenly yelled "PEANUT BUTTER"
I feel so bad for how the British girl was treated as a child while she was undiagnosed. I can’t imagine how scary it was to not understand why things are happening, and getting in trouble and even beaten up for them.
She told in one of her streams that the first time she went to the doctor to get some sort of diagnosis, they started to ask questions that were gearing towards to esquizofrenia and she didn't have it, so they just said that it was attention seeking and she had to live with that for so long Edit: she also said that she got super isolated and went through depression and 4 therapists, and only the last one actually managed to help her, I've seen the video about it and it's personally beautiful how she puts it
My dads friend has tourettes and he has a random screaming tick and he was at his mothers funeral and had to leave bc he was so stressed he was screaming the entire funeral it was really sad to see
My son has a tic that sounds like screeching. Everyone we know personally is aware of it though so I'm pretty sure even if it were a funeral it wouldn't get to anyone. They'd all know and understand. I realize this is NOT the case for every family though and definitely not the case for every person with TS. I'm sorry he had to leave. Poor guy.
"I'm not defined by the things I didn't choose about myself. I'm defined by how I choose to handle my challenges." Simple but encouraging quote, especially given the severity of the speaker's condition. At times I have been tempted to reduce everything about how I interact with people based on some of my peculiarities, but this quote has stuck with me and helped me to grow outside the box I I was putting myself in. Thanks.
I know! She was so severely bullied and people take her tics out of context. It’s not something you can control and she just unfortunately has a lot of tics that cause her to say curse words or “be mean/rude.” She is so so sweet. It has to be very frustrating at times since it clearly makes her life difficult, but she IS so amazingly strong!
When I saw the title of this video I emediately thought of you and then when I saw that you were in the video I legit jumped out of my seat! 😂 You're my favorite comedian and I think you have true talent for it. I love all of your videos and I rewatch your old shows all the time! You're an amazing inspiration and I think you should have won AGT for sure! 😂
YES. Schizophrenics are depicted as crazy, dangerous anomalies in horror movies. In reality, they’re more of a danger to themselves than to anyone else.
Just because I deal with it 24/7, doing a video on living with ADHD would be amazing. It’s crazy how many people misconstrue what it is. These people are amazing!
@@anasaziz9649 Well hope someone beats you into unconsciousness...... That's just how bullies are though because even being Autistic I got beaten as a kid from bullies and family.
I had a “Call the police!” tic for a while, and my little sister thinks it’s so funny, that she’d try to trigger it, even in public. I had to sit her down to tell her not to because people may actually call the police. Edit: My sister was quite young at the time. About six (6), I believe. She did stop triggering my tics after I asked her to, for those who were wondering.
Sweet Anita is seriously the best, sadly, she's being threatened once more by a stalker who's been at it for months. He even violated her restraining order against him and the uk police are basically blaming her for being a streamer instead of offering her proper protection. He already assaulted her and it looks like they're waiting for a second assault to act on it. Disgusting.
What's up with police not doing their jobs? I get that it can get annoying sometimes but why did they take on that job in the first place if they weren't up to the task.
@@Martin-yh7vi this is actually one of the big reasons behind the American riots right now, A black man was found hanging in a noose in manhattan park so they immediately ruled it a suicide even though there was little evidence for it being suicide and substantial evidence for it being murder, here's an article about it. nypost.com/2020/06/16/death-of-black-man-found-hanging-in-nyc-park-ruled-a-suicide/
Well what are the police supposed to do? Devote an entire division just for some streamer? You putting yourself on a public spotlight is not helping either.
@@noochtv She's given a shitty hand, but she's played that hand well. Analogy towards playing cards. Getting a decent life from a difficult start is admirable.
I'm sorry this is off topic but how is no one talking about the delay..? It's driving me insane, it's like a full 2 seconds behind from the audio, no other videos i watch are doing it and my wifi is fine.. it's killing me
I must say, a man working at my local Walmart has the patience of a saint. I was looking for silicone necklaces for chewing on when my tics get bad because I saw an ad saying it was useful for people with tourettes, and I'm tired of biting my tongue or cheek when I have tic attacks. I couldn't find them, so I asked this employee if he could help, so he called his manager for me. They unfortunately didn't have them, and he let me know. I tried to say thank you, but ended up telling him to f*** off 8 times instead. I felt so bad I started crying, but this man was so. Freaking. Understanding. He gave me a hug and said he never met anyone with tourettes before but he understood, and you don't understand how much my heart melted.
Sort of random but still contextual, they may have them in baby stuff. They usually have necklaces by there for that purpose that look like gems and stuff for teething but theyre legit the same thing except with a picture of a baby on the box. I saw them once figured if anyones looking its a good place to try
Omg Sweet Anita is literally a sweetheart. The injustice she faced - getting beaten up, evil step mom. And that thing about the cliff is absolutely terrifying
the number one thing that pisses me of is when doctors say "i'm not goin to give you a diagnosis because I don't want you too...." Like no. Stop. People go to the doctors for a diagnosis so they can understand and manage something, not giving a diagnosis is bullcrap.
If you have a condition or disability what's the point of not having a diagnosis. It makes no difference in whether or not you have it, it just makes explaining it harder.
I’ve been to a few doctors for my anxiety, but none of them have given me a diagnosis, or told me to see someone about a diagnosis even though they literally use the word anxiety when they talk to me and so every time I talk to someone about anxiety I feel like the biggest fraud. It sucks
You don't pay a doctor to find out something and keep it from you.. I would be pissed. Anyone who has the thought to do that shouldn't have their license.
I don't have a physical condition, but when I was in 7th grade I had so much anxiety surrounding school that I switched to homeschool and went to a psychiatrist. She told me in that office that she was never going to diagnose me because it made her uncomfortable to 'put a label on a kid.' Over the years, this increased my problems so much because I would convince myself I was just being dramatic and i had nothing to be anxious or sad about. This caused so much anxiety and confusion that it drove me to hurt myself for the next two years and almost attempt to kill myself in 8th grade. Fast forward to 10th grade, I have a new psychiatrist. She didn't even take a full session to figure out what was going on and understand completely that there was something really wrong and that I needed help. After 3 long years of confusion and being so afraid that I was just faking everything and convincing myself that I had absolutely nothing that would make me feel this way, I finally got diagnosed (severe depression and social anxiety). I just remember the feeling of relief so vividly; I finally realized that I wasn't just being dramatic and that I had a reason to get some medication and start feeling better.
When I was a minor, I had a “fake” diagnosis. On my charts it said “traits of BPD” and I didn’t know this until years later. When I was 15 and found out about it I asked my psychiatrist at the time what that meant. I said “if I have traits, don’t I just have it? If I have the symptoms of a condition, I have it, right?” And he told me “Well you’re young so we can’t just diagnose you with BPD, but we say you have traits so that other doctors know that you have it.” And I was like “wtf?? Doesn’t make sense but whatever I guess.” The same thing happened with Bipolar. They told me they didn’t wanna just diagnose me with it because I was young so they would always diagnose me with “unspecified mood disorder” instead. Like why??? When I turned 18 I finally got officially diagnosed with BPD and Bipolar. But it honestly doesn’t make any sense to me. Just give me my diagnosis so I can cope with it. Because now I’m turning 20 next week and all my mental illnesses have upgraded due to lack of proper treatment and other events going on in my life. I already had a disability I was born with but now I have more. I made new appointments with doctors and therapist today and hopefully they won’t be like the ones I grew up with
"I'm not defined by the things I didn't choose about myself, I'm defined by how I choose to handle my challenges." I needed this right at this moment. Thank you.
I am a psychologist, but Anitta is so bright about adversities (certainly by living it) that I imagine she would be a better therapist than myself, even without any formal education.
my cousin has tourette syndrome and a lot of kids at school stay away from him and it has a big impact on him, please don't be one of those people. treat everyone equally.
I feel like I'd be scared too if I didn't know what it is. Some Tourette curse, and it's loud, so it would very awkward. But yeah, it's also important to be respectful and tolerate differences, we're not the only one living this world nor does it revolves around us. I feel like Tourette is the most common syndrome that doesn't talk about often enough. We need to educate children about it. I only learned about Tourette as an adult by my own. And that's not something I'm proud about.
Very validating. My breathing tics are so bad that I went to the hospital just so they could put me to sleep to give my body a break. I begged for sleep. My daily tics are annoying and I get made fun of by people in school. Just today people were airdropping pictures to me and trying to bother me and I wanted to just sink into the floor at that moment. The physiological effects this part of my life has had in me has been severe, and I also have imposter syndrome so when my tics are less bad I’m thinking, “There’s no way I have it, I’m being dramatic and I’m just a lazy slacker”. When they are bad any doubt in my mind is silenced but it is a constant struggle and the road to even get my own parents to believe me has been rough. I had to fight to go to the doctor to get it checked out bc my parents were really against it but now many situations in my past have been validated and I can live my life better, at least on the social end, the tics are still annoying and painful AF
I am so so sorry. That teasing and bullying sounds terrible on top of the medical things.. I have autism spectrum disorder and I have been plenty bullied for the way I am. It is a terrible feeling, but at least we allies got eachothers backs 🫡
Don't worry butterfly, one day we will come out of European Western made up civilization and we can get back to reality that God created our bodies and minds to be so diverse. We literally have natural electricity that comes from the universe and runs through our bodies just to keep us alive, so sometimes it causes malfunctions within the neurological system and we get gifts like you. 😍🙏🏾
My boyfriend of 2 years has Tourettes! He makes little grunts and sometimes he blinks rlly hard and shakes his head when he gets really excited about something, especially if he's eating a food he really likes. I think it's adorable and it's just one of the many things that I love so much about him :)
More than anything else, this episode confirmed three things for me: 1) Anita is a wonderful person 2) Some people shouldn't be allowed to even be near children 3) I hate humanity as a whole
4-Hate those who make humanity shit, Not everyone is bad and god has every reason to beat the fuck outta all humans, What have humans even done yo not anger god? They've done most of the shitty stuff ever and they won't stop. I just hope that god doesn't destroy us humans in the future
Yeah like that one time where she quickly muted her mic because she was saying her password as a tic, she also covered her mouth so you couldn’t see what she was saying. It’s crazy to think how quick she did it meaning it might of happened before
@@mr.mysteriousyt6118 that's such a bad comparison, what? streaming is literally her job, are you telling me she should quit her job just because she suffers from tourettes?
I have severe Tourette syndrome and I’m so happy that there is more representation out there coming out 🙏🏻 I’ve been severely harassed for my Tourettes and we need more knowledge about this syndrome
“my Tourette’s doesnt define me. its my challenge. everyone is given challenges. im not defined by it. im im defined by how i *handle* it” that was amazing 👏
I have Lupus, RA and MCTD. I’m older, and fight to try to get people to understand how hard normal things are for me to do....I get so depressed, but now I get it is how I handle it and what I do to instead of trying to get others to “feel “?how I feel, is what can help me keep my sanity.
I love how he makes people feel comfortable in his interviews, it's just to so nice to see him listen to this people talk and ask them questions, I know that's an odd thing to say but still :)
I feel so sorry for Anita, abusive parents, no diagnosis for 26 years, getting beat up to the point of unconsciousness and people trying to cancel her for something she literally can't control. She's a very strong person
@@juliangonzales4553 I think people should cancel the ones who do have control on what they said and know the n word shouldn’t be said at all but still say it, instead of people who don’t have control at all of what they say or do. It still wrong that she saying that, but we can’t make her to stop, she already knows it’s wrong, but it’s out of her control.
HONESTLY as a person with Tourette’s I clicked on this video already rolling my eyes expecting to see three people screaming obscenities but was pleasantly surprised to see the average person with Tourette’s. The super aggressive forms of Tourette’s is what I think people mostly think of and these three interviewees were a perfect example of what we’re like. Thanks Anthony!!
My dad has it and didn’t know what it was far until he was in college bc he just has muscle spasms in his arms and twitches his head, but since it was physical and they had only heard of it being verbal and over the top he had no clue
My sister actually has pretty bad Tourettes (I have minor Tourettes). I actually wanted to see if I could find someone who would be similar to her in which maybe she could gain some inspiration, learn from, or relate to. Because she really struggles to gain an understanding of herself to others, and even I can't help, because mine are so different to hers. But I do agree, the video was very pleasant and I was happy to find that there were so many normal people just living their best life with Tourettes. I'm sharing the video and hopefully she won't feel so restricted within the world.
I will never forget one interaction I had with someone with tourette's, I was shopping and looking at some make up and this girl randomly screamed and it jump scared me so bad it triggered my PTSD (screaming is my biggest trigger) so then we're both standing there panicking really badly and just both profusely apologising to each other explaining our own mental conditions😆 oh gosh she was so sweet we both felt really bad like we were an inconvenience to each other or something. I hope she's doing ok I think about her all the time Edit: this blew up more than I thought it would. If that lady from dollar general is reading this I HOPE YOUR DOING WELL
Thats exactly whats happening in my country regarding corona . They have just stopped testing for covid-19 and govt says " see we have stopped corona we are such a capable govt! " While people around us are dying from " flu " .
I could see the pain in her eyes before she even started talking. Childhood trauma is easy to spot that way. I wish her all the best in life and hope she gets the care and affection she deserves.
Completely agree with the stigmatism. I have worked with many schizophrenic and schizoaffective patients. They are genuinely so misunderstood and feared for NO reason.
I would enjoy an "I spent a day with people with auditory hallucinations" video. I feel it would be an informative video, since I was recently diagnosed with auditory hallucinations. They suck - hearing disembodied things where you can't find the source makes you paranoid and checking your surroundings. Interestingly enough, auditory hallucinations don't have to be related to schizophrenia. PTSD, depression, and anxiety (which I also have, mind you) can also play a factor. I remember they started out of the blue and I was scared - December 17, 2021. Been dealing with them ever since, even with my new medicine.
Hi friend. I also have a hallucinatory disorder (HPPD) and experience visual hallucinations 24/7 with occasional auditory hallucinations. I’ve lived with it for 5 years (it was drug induced back in May 2017) and understand what it feels like. If you need someone to talk to that knows what you’re going through I’m more than happy to share what’s helped me. Cheers :)
I would also like to see a video of that or just hallucinations in general because I've also struggle with hallucinations litterly at least one for every 5 senses
I don't have auditory hallucinations, but sometimes I hear random humming/ticking/murmuring and it's horrible, it's so disorienting, I can't imagine what its like when they are louder and more consistent.
My friend’s roommate has auditory hallucinations, mostly voices. It has been interesting learning about it through him. I never bring it up or ask, I don’t want him to feel like I’m grilling him, so I just listen when he talks about it from time to time. I’m just curious because the human brain is fascinating to me, I feel like in another life I was a psychologist or a neurologist instead of a starving artist lol
my parents thought the exact same thing because touretts doesn't start over time it just starts, so for example before i had touretts i was normal and never had a tick in my life then i fell asleep and woke up and started ticking which involved shaking my head, moving my arm ect and for a few weeks my dad was full on yelling at me because he thought i was just faking and trying to get attention but when i got diagnosed my dad backed off and felt sooooo bad because he was yelling at me because of my disability and he apologised so in the end it was okay but it was horrible trying to say that i cant control my ticks and no one believes me
I’m pretty sure I’ve been diagnosed with tics ( not Tourette’s) and talking about it makes me tic and my mom thought I was attention seeking :/ idk why it happens it’s just like a muscle pull and it makes my roll my eyes back until I twitch my neck. Now I make jokes about breaking my neck. It really only happens at school tho? Idk.
Cory Colmer Im so sorry that happened to you! ): I bet that was frustrating as hell 😭 but the important thing is that you found out what was actually going on , and that you dad apologized. Makes me wonder how many kids are suffering the same thing, and their parents thinking it’s just for attention.
@@Mandee_ i feel the same way but in some way i agreed with my dad getting mad at me even though i now it wasnt my fault but from his perspective i out of no where started ticking and the day before i was normal so he would have been confused and frustrated so im not mad at what he did because if i were in his shoes before i experienced having touretts i honestly would of done the same thing because before i had it my family never even heard of touretts so i would of thought that my kid would just be trying to get more attention but that is exactly why we need to let more people know about touretts because then if their kid gets it then instead of going through what i and many others probably had to they would be treated the right way and taken to the doctors instead of getting yelled at.
I find it sweet how at the beginning, Anita waa as apologizing for her tics but over the course of the video she got more comfortable with Anthony and they were laughing about some of them by the end
I'm really glad that my introduction to Tourette's was the movie "Front of the Class" and not something offensive or inaccurate. It was pretty educational actually and I learned a lot when I watched it. Thank you for making this video because it might be the first time someone is exposed to Tourette's (or the first time it isn't used as a joke).
I have a friend with Tourette’s. To make light of it, she created what she calls “Tourette’s Bingo”. Each time she does one of her most common tics, you mark it down. She is so sweet (she’d kill me if I said that), and takes this in stride. She’s so strong with it, and just the funniest person.
i'm so glad videos like this exist, honestly. all of these people are amazing and i love the questions anthony asks. it's horrible to see kids on tiktok make fun of that condition or spread false information that it's a "mental illness". that faking trend needs to die off immediately.
Anita has such a toxic fan base and her life when she was young sounded rough af! She broke her arm and her mom shakes it, made it worse and made her scared even more...She even got beaten by bullies until she was unconscious which is terrible. Wish you all the luck Anita
@@Amsyar_Lahhh apparently her chat also spams trigger words and idk if this is true or not but I think once the chat spammed the word "banana" and it triggered her tics and caused her a lot of pain. Her banana tic is gone now. I saw a clip of her telling it to chat and it looked like she was crying.
@@divbani yea she used to have that tic and she has an autoimmune disease i’m pretty sure that she said it so much her vocal cords started bleeding, but i could be wrong
yes. having a racial slur as a tic must be so fkn rough. especially since most tics tend to be kinda loud in my experience (my grandma has tourettes and im autistic, so i have some, tics but way less than ppl with tourettes)
Samuel and Anita are basically my idols, not because I have tourettes, but I learned alot on how tourettes can mentally and physically affect people, and they are literally my inspiration as they literally define that even if you are made fun of or degraded, humiliated, you can just ignore that and focus more on the brighter side of your life.
maybe “i spent a day with people who are blind or have eye diseases”. i have a rare eye disease called corneal granular dystrophy and it can cause me to go blind in one or both eyes. the thought of being blind or having an eye disease can be really discouraging to many and seeing an in-depth video about this can help calm those fears/anxieties
I know someone who is blind. She is pretty awesome. She does martial arts and is a classical musician. It also turned out that she was my friends neighbour for some time and when we talked about her (my friend) casually some time ago she was like: "Oh so that is the person I would occasionally hear playing the violin." The crazy thing is she lived in the house across the street from her. That's some next level hearing ability.
My mom is basically blind. She has vision in her left eye, but its lacking. Like she can't "see" how deep the stairs are or if the ground isn't smooth anymore. It's shit being a blind/deaf person kid sometimes, because we never got anyone to help and my dad let me do the job.

Since we're all sharing here, I also have Tourettes. At one point in my life I was working for a family business under the promise that i would get an apprenticeship for hvac. I was onsite cutting pipe on one side of a large warehouse, while a coworker was working on the opposite side I don't know how he could hear me but apparently my tics set him off because he stormed all the way across the warehouse while i was running the pipe threader (very loud machine) and he proceeded to yell at me for making the annoying noises and for obsessively clearing my throat and blowing my nose among other things. I didn't feel like going into a huge explanation for why i do the things i do because we were both on the clock my lack of an explanation ended up with me being taken aside by a supervisor who asked me to go somewhere else to do what i was doing so as not to annoy coworker. Anyway i'm used to these types of incidents I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but it ended up being used in a power play by a rival supervisor who was nearby who tried to reframe the incident as me being punished by the other supervisor. So I was hauled into the office with the owner, and supervisor 1 and 2 who argued amongst themselves about how i was treated on the worksite all for the purpose of getting supervisor 1 fired or disciplined or something. The owner knew I had Tourettes previously, so the question ended up being, did supervisor 1 harass you for having this problem, and I said no he was just trying to find a compromise it was "coworker" who was harassing me. I didn't like that I was being played like a political pawn It wasn't long after that I was laid off because of low work, and I was genuinely glad that I was.
“We aren’t gonna actually give you a diagnosis and help you so you don’t get bullied” yeah because NOT doing anything about it makes people be less mean
Literally the logic of “if we don’t test, there won’t be any coronavirus cases” like just cause you don’t explicitly prove that it’s there, doesn’t mean it’s not?
ララ Lara 라라 I’m going to agree but change the phrasing. “Just because you have no symptoms doesn’t mean it’s not there” you can still test for COVID and still pass it. But otherwise yes
@@angie-nf3iu therapists aren't just meant to compliment you and make you feel good, they're meant to help you root out the problem and understand it, THAT'S how they make you feel good as you're suggesting, simple compliments don't subdue the problem.
“I wont diagnose you so you don’t get bullied” like sir thats like saying “ I won’t diagnose you with depression because I don’t want you to get sad” 😭😂
My mom refusing to take me seriously when I say I'm depressed and that I should probably go get diagnose so I can get meds: (I got diagnosed thank God) also she blamed my friend for making think I was depressed because she was so it was a difficult.
Well more like I don't want to diagnose you with depression because you might be disowned (that happens) So I guess he was just trying to suggest a treatment anonymously
@@gas8257 yep, because you calling me an asshole is so nice! But, I wouldn’t expect someone like you to take your own advice. And that’s mostly because of your “hero” attitude. You think you’re always so great because you tell of the people who you think are “bad”, but the only reason you do that is so you can get attention from the other people who think of you as some “hero”. And that stems from you being a Narcissistic person, because you can’t get your attention. So I would at least try to be a little less hypocritical.
I loved Samuel when he was in AGT XD But Emberly's experience about the doctor not wanting to diagnose her is something I can relate to. My mom could also tell that I had ADHD when I was a kid, she had it too and she'd studied neurodivergence. But she didn't take me to a doctor 'cos she didn't want me to feel different and get bullied. Que over 10 years of bullying and extremely low self-esteem because I thought I was just lazy and useless and didn't know why I couldn't concentrate.
I have ADHD with Tourettes Syndrome and I blurted out the N-word in school and got suspended soooo yay. (i was not diagnosed at the time) Also THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT and now everyone in my school thinks i'm faking but who cares?
Anita seems so sweet and expresses herself so well. Her voice is super calming. I’m so sorry for the traumatic shit and bullying she’s been through, despite that, she seems like a wonderful person. I don’t watch streams but I might watch hers lol
Please consider doing "I spent a day with people who have OCD". I have it and it can be really disruptive and people who don't know anything about it tend to judge those of us who have OCD. They don't understand why we repeatedly have do or say certain things over and over again. Also, people with OCD tend to sometimes have depression and/or anxiety too, myself included.
4:26 “I don’t see my tourets as my condition, I see it as my challenge. Everyone has challenges. And I’m not defined by the fact that I’m facing it, I’m defined by how I handle it.” Wise words. Hit me hard.
all of the guests seem so endearing and friendly, they all made me smile when they let themselves open up and enjoy being interviewed :D It's always really nice to see something new come up in my feed from this channel and get to both learn while having fun along the way. Lovely people working on this series from start to finish, thanks to all of those supporting both the channel and the people who get interviewed. Watching these is usually the highlight of my day ^^
i really admire that he chose 2 people who dont have verbal tics. I have tourettes but grew up with no verbal tics (i have 2 now) and people would always say to me "youre faking it cuz i dont notice it" or "youre not screaming and cursing so you dont actually have it". its refreshing to see that all different types of the disorder are being acknowledged and accepted :)
The girl literally said she had a coughing and water drop noise tic and the guy said he makes noises too??? They all have vocal tics??? To be diagnosed you have to have minimum 2 motor tics and 1 vocal tic?? What??
Vocal tics are literally one of the diagnostic criteria for tourette's, otherwise you have chronic tic disorder Edit: yeah y'all are right, not all vocal tics are strictly verbal. My bad
@@theescapist9450 @sky vocal =/= verbal, vocal tics can be something like coughing or humming or that popping noise Anita does but verbal tics are actual words or phrases.
I have been diagnosed with Tourette's, though I've never been treated, and the symptoms have been very mild and have never really grown out of two urges (stretching and clearing my throat), so people don't notice it. I don't have any other "verbal" ticks besides coughing and throat clearing (my swearing is my own, thank you...)
Anita's childhood experience is so horrible. Considering what she was saying about how if you're told not to do something it can trigger a tic, it makes me wonder if having a diagnosis earlier would mean some of her tics now would be less extreme. These were all great guests and it was really great to learn more about this syndrome 👍
absolutely nightmare. This is the kind of parent who would shout 24h a day "don't do that", specially when you have forgotten the tic, the parent would constantly remind you of it and worry you about it, will never let you get rid of the tic.
I hope she doesn't feel pressured to respond and give money to an abusive family so people don't go around in her streams and videos saying "oh my god, she ignores her mom, what a terrible person". She absolutely does not need to talk to toxic people or to do what they pressure her to do, it doesn't matter if it's family.
Each case is unique in its own way. There is a natural progression of the affliction that is dependant on environmental variables. Some people improve over time. Some people deteriorate. Some people can be easily provoked and adopt new mannerisms easily. Others are more resistant to those same influences. Some people do well with medication. Others do worse because the side effects are far worse than the affliction. The crossovers of Tourettes being spread between a physiological and neurological impairment can create a varying spectrum of endless different presentations. There is no single recipe for guaranteed success in treatment. Not enough is known about chemical imbalances of the brain to offer the treatment options necessary to control such involuntary subconscious impulses. For many, the stigmas and anxiety of social interaction is worse than the syndrome itself. Sadly, we live in a very ignorant and intolerant world, where far too many take far too much for granted.
@@maddie8655 afaik she really doesnt mind and embraces it and knows its entertaining people. At least thats what I heard. So I mean if saying slurs while having tourettes get you banned constantly maybe the moderators should be a little more considerate?
I watched this video when it came out, and it led to me finally getting a diagnosis after 6 years of symptoms. Thanks for making it lmao, my brain apparently needed help finding out why I kept yelling "monarchy".

Could you do borderline personality disorder
“your child is a TANK”
she really is though,,, she got bullied and she was misunderstood but she is SOOO nice, if you watch her streams
I liked her!
Those tics, very entertaining.
What i like, is that you don't have to view other peoples' tics as annoying or something to make them aware of.
They are funny, and brings a lighter moment where you can just laugh along with them rather than of them!
Make tics something you all can bond over, and think positively of!
Her tics made me laugh and feel kinda happy.
They were entertaining! Positive.
To be honest, i have never before this video seen a tic and actually thought it positive like this, and just enjoy what i saw. Im glad.
-----------------------
I myself have Tourettes, and two particular tics appeared and became kinda more frequent as most of the video went on.
My left eye gets sorta irritated, and i tend to roll my eyes, mostly pick/rub on that part of the eye to try lessen the reactions i have there.
As well as a sound i make with my throat, but not my throat clearing tic, just some sort of a vocal tic.
So i have a history with Tourettes, and hope this video will be very helpful for me!
It was very nice to watch.
i dont watch her streams but she seems very kind and nice to be around
What is a tank?
QueenOfClowns ASMR it just means she’s very tough
Actually people that have had hardship and been treated badly by others are exactly the same people that tend to become extra nice and not wine as much.
Seriously the girl who has the hat on, her mom was the worst. Her arm was broken and she was shaking it and telling her not to make a fuss. Her mom doesn't deserve her.
I think she said step-mom. But that is still straight up abuse.

The more I hear about Sweet Anita’s background, the angrier I get. This woman has faced SO much abuse. I’m so happy she’s in a better situation.
to add to her challenging past, she actually had a banana tick that people literally used on purpose. She actually choked up blood once because she couldn't stop

@@AckYes correct, because repetition is the best way to remember something.
that's why the catchiest part of a song is (typically) the chorus, that's why masters of martial arts train for their whole lives, and that's why book writers will refer to an important detail multiple times over the course of a book.

Fuck, just keep that woman away from childrens and teenagers for the rest of her life.
That broke my heart....
Yea like omg even if you think the kid is faking you don’t just shake their arm first
I hate parents who treat their kids like Anita's did. It's hurts my heart. I was a victim myself of abuse and this experience still hurts.
I can’t believe her father let this woman further break her arm, AND intimidate her into lying about her pain level.
it sounded so much like my dads ex girlfriend🙄 she would always make my dad be against me and my siblings
Her aunt is the type of person who hasn’t matured and grown up since the age of three.
my heart broke for her..
I AM THE 1000TH LIKE LOL
How the one girl was treated as a kid, how she was yelled at and told off for it and basically abused explains more clearly why she always feels obligated to apologise, even though she doesn't have to.
anita's pretty sweet. check out her twitch highlights channel xD
I’m sure a lot of people will disagree with this, but I don’t really see it as a bad thing that she apologizes for her tics. I understand that she can’t control it, but like she said, she’s just expressing that she isn’t trying to interrupt or be rude.
@@moonshot9056 im american but i do this a lot haha
I was diagnosed with tourettes when i was really young. The way they described the feeling of having a tic is spot on. I have a tic where i shake my hand or head. Its like a tingly feeling in my chest that wont stop until i do it. The longer i dont the stronger the feeling gets
I get feelings like that in different parts of my body where its almost painful to not move. I dont think it's tourettes in my case though. Its like the explanation on restless legs, but I get it in different spots sometimes but mainly my legs. I twitch my knee muscles in and have to kinda pull other muscles.
@@sarahdalley2614 I get that in my legs and my hands too
@@sarahdalley2614 total long shot, but have you ever tried magnesium supplements?
i feel this a lot, but i believe it's due to autism. i'll turn my head like i look like i'm trying to crack my neck, twitch and jerk my fingers, and click my mouth. but they're not exactly involuntary so i don't believe it's the same thing. i did feel the description of the urge as feeling like you have to cough though
I do similar stuff but its cuz im autistic and for me they arent tics they are stims but some stims are involuntary or very difficult not to do especially when im stressed or tired
My big sister has tourettes and i seeing the fear when Anita was talking about being near cliffs with friends really hit home because Dea has pushed me down the stairs and punched me and is always so upset, even though we know it isn't her fault. I'm really glad this episode showed a more realistic side to the syndrome, rather than the oddly hyped up version of coprolalia.
I knew a guy who has the "stereotypical" coprolalia, and I also have Tourettes, so when the two of us together is quite the show in public.
You're so understanding! I don't have tourettes and I'm not trying to be rude but The cliff conversation really makes me scared. I know it differs from person to person but Is that happening rare? I know they have no control but it seems really scary to me.
@@prim_manga9885 Not many people have it that bad. The best thing is just to keep the distance, but never bring it up if you're in that scenario. eg, if you're at a cliff don't say "Don't push me" even as a joke, or anything like that in different situations. Or they will. It's an intrusive thought, and they're emotion based. If they get more built up anxiety about it, they are more likely to do it. Just
It’s really hard when you end up hurting people by accident. I’ve ended up punching my sister and kicking my dad and I always feel so, so bad about it
I always thought that ill people that could potentially hurt others are in an institution? Especially if it could result in death?
"I didn't have an N-word tic until I started streaming"
God that both makes so much sense and is so depressing a the same time.
yes, people were spamming Anita's chat during one of her streams with the n word in order to try and trigger her to say it
@@emmalucas5307 and one time they were spamming another trigger word that makes her say a thing over and over again (banana, it isn’t a tic anymore) and since she has an autoimmune disease, her vocal cords started BLEEDING.

I have turrets I don't swear but people don't know how hard it is I don go out side I get bulled all the time and it's hard to explain to people

I relate to that me and my boyfriend both have tourettes and we can hardly ever be together
Kinda broke my heart to read that.
I feel so bad for anita. Getting your broken arm shook by your parents to check if it's broken. It's absolutely sickening.
Yeah, I feel so bad. It even made a crunch sound and she couldnt show that shes hurt because shes gonna be scolded. They also threatened to take her tea (i think that means food and stuff). Its disgusting how parents like these exists. And so what if shes attention seeking, first of all, you cant assume that. And second, if she is, that means you arent giving her the attention she needs.
@Megan Houghton oh thank you! That makes sense.
And then getting fucking nagged at whilst not being able to be express your pain of a broken arm, expecting to be quiet. What the fuck. That pisses me off.
It is sooo disgusting who in their right mind would do that to someone
@@sleeppyy3221 yea and because she had the n word tic she couldn't even call her dad cuz he was black and she was scared that she was gonna say it. I feel so bad for her.

@Sydney Primeau I feel bad for you
Ya ONLY ONLY ONLY time I let someone trigger my tics is if they're my friend and I ABSOLUTELY NEED IT like I have tics where I can't "satisfy" and my friend triggering another tic helps
Yeah, it's really cruel. Some tics are even dangerous and painful. One of my alters has tourettes and he has a tic where he kinda snaps his head to the side really fast and sometimes he has to hold his head in between his hands or legs because he's hurting his neck so bad. It's so mean and embarrassing for someone to trigger someone's tics without their permission
I had that at summer camp this year, i was okay with most of them, but one of my best friends accidentaly caused me to first hate bees, then shout "fuck the bees" then say "hey a bee" and clap my hands, to eventually threatening almost everyone there that I was going to murder them and their families. So sometimes it was ment as nothing bad but tics like that happen. With a lot of my friends I'm pretty okay with it but definitly ask the person about it
A friend of mine has tourettes and if you cough he would cough along no matter what. I never thought of playing around with that, never... but a guy we know while he was talking to him started coughing just to see for how long it would have worked. I mean, testing it once or twice may be okay but exploiting it is just disgusting
I was hospitalized at a psych ward with a girl with Tourettes and one of her tics was smacking stuff. My favorite memory of the place is probably when I was peacefully eating lunch in the cafeteria and she sat next to me, then smacked me on the arm with a banana.

Anita saying that seeing tics can trigger your own helped me realize why my small physical tics happen more often while I’m watching certain things.
I feel so bad for how the British girl was treated as a child while she was undiagnosed. I can’t imagine how scary it was to not understand why things are happening, and getting in trouble and even beaten up for them.
She told in one of her streams that the first time she went to the doctor to get some sort of diagnosis, they started to ask questions that were gearing towards to esquizofrenia and she didn't have it, so they just said that it was attention seeking and she had to live with that for so long
Edit: she also said that she got super isolated and went through depression and 4 therapists, and only the last one actually managed to help her, I've seen the video about it and it's personally beautiful how she puts it

I must say, a man working at my local Walmart has the patience of a saint. I was looking for silicone necklaces for chewing on when my tics get bad because I saw an ad saying it was useful for people with tourettes, and I'm tired of biting my tongue or cheek when I have tic attacks. I couldn't find them, so I asked this employee if he could help, so he called his manager for me. They unfortunately didn't have them, and he let me know. I tried to say thank you, but ended up telling him to f*** off 8 times instead. I felt so bad I started crying, but this man was so. Freaking. Understanding. He gave me a hug and said he never met anyone with tourettes before but he understood, and you don't understand how much my heart melted.
That is so sweet omg. I’m so glad he was understanding. Makes me wish everyone would react with such empathy
That’s so amazing
This made ME cry!! Awwww
Sort of random but still contextual, they may have them in baby stuff. They usually have necklaces by there for that purpose that look like gems and stuff for teething but theyre legit the same thing except with a picture of a baby on the box. I saw them once figured if anyones looking its a good place to try
I have it and I've never met a person with it
Omg Sweet Anita is literally a sweetheart. The injustice she faced - getting beaten up, evil step mom. And that thing about the cliff is absolutely terrifying
the number one thing that pisses me of is when doctors say "i'm not goin to give you a diagnosis because I don't want you too...." Like no. Stop. People go to the doctors for a diagnosis so they can understand and manage something, not giving a diagnosis is bullcrap.
If you have a condition or disability what's the point of not having a diagnosis. It makes no difference in whether or not you have it, it just makes explaining it harder.
I’ve been to a few doctors for my anxiety, but none of them have given me a diagnosis, or told me to see someone about a diagnosis even though they literally use the word anxiety when they talk to me and so every time I talk to someone about anxiety I feel like the biggest fraud. It sucks
You don't pay a doctor to find out something and keep it from you.. I would be pissed. Anyone who has the thought to do that shouldn't have their license.
I don't have a physical condition, but when I was in 7th grade I had so much anxiety surrounding school that I switched to homeschool and went to a psychiatrist. She told me in that office that she was never going to diagnose me because it made her uncomfortable to 'put a label on a kid.' Over the years, this increased my problems so much because I would convince myself I was just being dramatic and i had nothing to be anxious or sad about. This caused so much anxiety and confusion that it drove me to hurt myself for the next two years and almost attempt to kill myself in 8th grade. Fast forward to 10th grade, I have a new psychiatrist. She didn't even take a full session to figure out what was going on and understand completely that there was something really wrong and that I needed help. After 3 long years of confusion and being so afraid that I was just faking everything and convincing myself that I had absolutely nothing that would make me feel this way, I finally got diagnosed (severe depression and social anxiety). I just remember the feeling of relief so vividly; I finally realized that I wasn't just being dramatic and that I had a reason to get some medication and start feeling better.
When I was a minor, I had a “fake” diagnosis. On my charts it said “traits of BPD” and I didn’t know this until years later. When I was 15 and found out about it I asked my psychiatrist at the time what that meant. I said “if I have traits, don’t I just have it? If I have the symptoms of a condition, I have it, right?” And he told me “Well you’re young so we can’t just diagnose you with BPD, but we say you have traits so that other doctors know that you have it.” And I was like “wtf?? Doesn’t make sense but whatever I guess.”
The same thing happened with Bipolar. They told me they didn’t wanna just diagnose me with it because I was young so they would always diagnose me with “unspecified mood disorder” instead. Like why??? When I turned 18 I finally got officially diagnosed with BPD and Bipolar.
But it honestly doesn’t make any sense to me. Just give me my diagnosis so I can cope with it. Because now I’m turning 20 next week and all my mental illnesses have upgraded due to lack of proper treatment and other events going on in my life. I already had a disability I was born with but now I have more. I made new appointments with doctors and therapist today and hopefully they won’t be like the ones I grew up with
"I'm not defined by the things I didn't choose about myself, I'm defined by how I choose to handle my challenges."

I am a psychologist, but Anitta is so bright about adversities (certainly by living it) that I imagine she would be a better therapist than myself, even without any formal education.
my cousin has tourette syndrome and a lot of kids at school stay away from him and it has a big impact on him, please don't be one of those people. treat everyone equally.
Yes
I hope he's doing okay love 😔
I'm so sorry that he has to face such horrible things because of the horrible people he's surrounded by. Much love and power to you ♥️

I feel like I'd be scared too if I didn't know what it is. Some Tourette curse, and it's loud, so it would very awkward. But yeah, it's also important to be respectful and tolerate differences, we're not the only one living this world nor does it revolves around us.
I feel like Tourette is the most common syndrome that doesn't talk about often enough. We need to educate children about it. I only learned about Tourette as an adult by my own. And that's not something I'm proud about.
Very validating. My breathing tics are so bad that I went to the hospital just so they could put me to sleep to give my body a break. I begged for sleep. My daily tics are annoying and I get made fun of by people in school. Just today people were airdropping pictures to me and trying to bother me and I wanted to just sink into the floor at that moment. The physiological effects this part of my life has had in me has been severe, and I also have imposter syndrome so when my tics are less bad I’m thinking, “There’s no way I have it, I’m being dramatic and I’m just a lazy slacker”. When they are bad any doubt in my mind is silenced but it is a constant struggle and the road to even get my own parents to believe me has been rough. I had to fight to go to the doctor to get it checked out bc my parents were really against it but now many situations in my past have been validated and I can live my life better, at least on the social end, the tics are still annoying and painful AF
I am so so sorry. That teasing and bullying sounds terrible on top of the medical things.. I have autism spectrum disorder and I have been plenty bullied for the way I am. It is a terrible feeling, but at least we allies got eachothers backs 🫡
Don't worry butterfly, one day we will come out of European Western made up civilization and we can get back to reality that God created our bodies and minds to be so diverse.

My boyfriend of 2 years has Tourettes! He makes little grunts and sometimes he blinks rlly hard and shakes his head when he gets really excited about something, especially if he's eating a food he really likes.

People need to realize that when Anita starts saying bad stuff in her tics she tries mute her mic and you can tell she doesn’t wanna say those things.
Yeah like that one time where she quickly muted her mic because she was saying her password as a tic, she also covered her mouth so you couldn’t see what she was saying. It’s crazy to think how quick she did it meaning it might of happened before

HONESTLY as a person with Tourette’s I clicked on this video already rolling my eyes expecting to see three people screaming obscenities but was pleasantly surprised to see the average person with Tourette’s. The super aggressive forms of Tourette’s is what I think people mostly think of and these three interviewees were a perfect example of what we’re like. Thanks Anthony!!
yes! when I was a kid, that’s all I’d ever seen of TS. I thought I didn’t properly have it because I didn’t curse all the time
My dad has it and didn’t know what it was far until he was in college bc he just has muscle spasms in his arms and twitches his head, but since it was physical and they had only heard of it being verbal and over the top he had no clue
My sister actually has pretty bad Tourettes (I have minor Tourettes). I actually wanted to see if I could find someone who would be similar to her in which maybe she could gain some inspiration, learn from, or relate to. Because she really struggles to gain an understanding of herself to others, and even I can't help, because mine are so different to hers.
But I do agree, the video was very pleasant and I was happy to find that there were so many normal people just living their best life with Tourettes. I'm sharing the video and hopefully she won't feel so restricted within the world.
It's too bad Ethan from H3H3 doesn't talk about his Tourette's more, his is so mild probably a lot of people wouldn't even clock it
Anthony is great at being thorough and genuine with this series! Shining an optimistic and realistic light on all these topics. It's very lovely.
as a person with tourettes, this was so amazing to watch and see people talk about this because it is very misunderstood.
I will never forget one interaction I had with someone with tourette's, I was shopping and looking at some make up and this girl randomly screamed and it jump scared me so bad it triggered my PTSD (screaming is my biggest trigger) so then we're both standing there panicking really badly and just both profusely apologising to each other explaining our own mental conditions😆 oh gosh she was so sweet we both felt really bad like we were an inconvenience to each other or something. I hope she's doing ok I think about her all the time
Edit: this blew up more than I thought it would. If that lady from dollar general is reading this I HOPE YOUR DOING WELL

Gosh that must have been terrifying. That's cool that you can laugh about it now though! :) I hope you're doing well.

I would enjoy an "I spent a day with people with auditory hallucinations" video. I feel it would be an informative video, since I was recently diagnosed with auditory hallucinations. They suck - hearing disembodied things where you can't find the source makes you paranoid and checking your surroundings.
Interestingly enough, auditory hallucinations don't have to be related to schizophrenia. PTSD, depression, and anxiety (which I also have, mind you) can also play a factor.
I remember they started out of the blue and I was scared - December 17, 2021. Been dealing with them ever since, even with my new medicine.
Hi friend. I also have a hallucinatory disorder (HPPD) and experience visual hallucinations 24/7 with occasional auditory hallucinations. I’ve lived with it for 5 years (it was drug induced back in May 2017) and understand what it feels like. If you need someone to talk to that knows what you’re going through I’m more than happy to share what’s helped me. Cheers :)
I would also like to see a video of that or just hallucinations in general because I've also struggle with hallucinations litterly at least one for every 5 senses
May I ask what drug induced this? I have a couple of guesses but I'm curious to which it actually was..
I don't have auditory hallucinations, but sometimes I hear random humming/ticking/murmuring and it's horrible, it's so disorienting, I can't imagine what its like when they are louder and more consistent.
My friend’s roommate has auditory hallucinations, mostly voices. It has been interesting learning about it through him. I never bring it up or ask, I don’t want him to feel like I’m grilling him, so I just listen when he talks about it from time to time. I’m just curious because the human brain is fascinating to me, I feel like in another life I was a psychologist or a neurologist instead of a starving artist lol
The girl with the cute lil hat makes the most perfect sound effects. That’s really cool lol. I could never.

Hyk eth. Whats her YT?
@@glossyyeri479 sweet anita
Her yt channel is Sweet anita
she does the cutest twitter bird whistle too, unfortunately i can't watch her streams because her tics trigger my tics oof
Wow, that one step mom that thought her daughter was “attention seeking” .. that pissed me off. Poor girl.
my parents thought the exact same thing because touretts doesn't start over time it just starts, so for example before i had touretts i was normal and never had a tick in my life then i fell asleep and woke up and started ticking which involved shaking my head, moving my arm ect and for a few weeks my dad was full on yelling at me because he thought i was just faking and trying to get attention but when i got diagnosed my dad backed off and felt sooooo bad because he was yelling at me because of my disability and he apologised so in the end it was okay but it was horrible trying to say that i cant control my ticks and no one believes me
I’m pretty sure I’ve been diagnosed with tics ( not Tourette’s) and talking about it makes me tic and my mom thought I was attention seeking :/ idk why it happens it’s just like a muscle pull and it makes my roll my eyes back until I twitch my neck. Now I make jokes about breaking my neck. It really only happens at school tho? Idk.
Cory Colmer Im so sorry that happened to you! ): I bet that was frustrating as hell 😭 but the important thing is that you found out what was actually going on , and that you dad apologized. Makes me wonder how many kids are suffering the same thing, and their parents thinking it’s just for attention.
@@Mandee_ i feel the same way but in some way i agreed with my dad getting mad at me even though i now it wasnt my fault but from his perspective i out of no where started ticking and the day before i was normal so he would have been confused and frustrated so im not mad at what he did because if i were in his shoes before i experienced having touretts i honestly would of done the same thing because before i had it my family never even heard of touretts so i would of thought that my kid would just be trying to get more attention but that is exactly why we need to let more people know about touretts because then if their kid gets it then instead of going through what i and many others probably had to they would be treated the right way and taken to the doctors instead of getting yelled at.
I find it sweet how at the beginning, Anita waa as apologizing for her tics but over the course of the video she got more comfortable with Anthony and they were laughing about some of them by the end

I have a friend with Tourette’s. To make light of it, she created what she calls “Tourette’s Bingo”. Each time she does one of her most common tics, you mark it down. She is so sweet (she’d kill me if I said that), and takes this in stride. She’s so strong with it, and just the funniest person.

Samuel and Anita are basically my idols, not because I have tourettes, but I learned alot on how tourettes can mentally and physically affect people, and they are literally my inspiration as they literally define that even if you are made fun of or degraded, humiliated, you can just ignore that and focus more on the brighter side of your life.
maybe “i spent a day with people who are blind or have eye diseases”. i have a rare eye disease called corneal granular dystrophy and it can cause me to go blind in one or both eyes. the thought of being blind or having an eye disease can be really discouraging to many and seeing an in-depth video about this can help calm those fears/anxieties
Vanessa Perez that is a great idea :) I hope you stay safe and well!
I know someone who is blind. She is pretty awesome. She does martial arts and is a classical musician. It also turned out that she was my friends neighbour for some time and when we talked about her (my friend) casually some time ago she was like: "Oh so that is the person I would occasionally hear playing the violin." The crazy thing is she lived in the house across the street from her. That's some next level hearing ability.
Thats a brilliant idea! He could try to contact molly burkes for an interviewer too! :D
Yes! I love this idea! I have Glaucoma but I also have a lot of eye problems and lost my left eye and all of that to eye diseases and eye trauma.
My mom is basically blind. She has vision in her left eye, but its lacking. Like she can't "see" how deep the stairs are or if the ground isn't smooth anymore.
It's shit being a blind/deaf person kid sometimes, because we never got anyone to help and my dad let me do the job. She has consodered getting a service dog, but they are quite expensive and difficult.

Since we're all sharing here, I also have Tourettes. At one point in my life I was working for a family business under the promise that i would get an apprenticeship for hvac.
I was onsite cutting pipe on one side of a large warehouse, while a coworker was working on the opposite side I don't know how he could hear me but apparently my tics set him off because he stormed all the way across the warehouse while i was running the pipe threader (very loud machine) and he proceeded to yell at me for making the annoying noises and for obsessively clearing my throat and blowing my nose among other things. I didn't feel like going into a huge explanation for why i do the things i do because we were both on the clock my lack of an explanation ended up with me being taken aside by a supervisor who asked me to go somewhere else to do what i was doing so as not to annoy coworker. Anyway i'm used to these types of incidents I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but it ended up being used in a power play by a rival supervisor who was nearby who tried to reframe the incident as me being punished by the other supervisor. So I was hauled into the office with the owner, and supervisor 1 and 2 who argued amongst themselves about how i was treated on the worksite all for the purpose of getting supervisor 1 fired or disciplined or something. The owner knew I had Tourettes previously, so the question ended up being, did supervisor 1 harass you for having this problem, and I said no he was just trying to find a compromise it was "coworker" who was harassing me. I didn't like that I was being played like a political pawn It wasn't long after that I was laid off because of low work, and I was genuinely glad that I was.
“We aren’t gonna actually give you a diagnosis and help you so you don’t get bullied” yeah because NOT doing anything about it makes people be less mean

I have ADHD with Tourettes Syndrome and I blurted out the N-word in school and got suspended soooo yay.
(i was not diagnosed at the time)
Also THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT
and now everyone in my school thinks i'm faking but who cares?
what a bunch of dicks i have ts too and people take the piss put me and ask me to shout things as if i just want to do it
Woahhhhh
Wtf, they didn’t try to understand you??
That’s absolutely ridiculous. I don’t even know if that’s legal.
Oh nooooo
You should've told them you have tourettes 😮
Anita seems so sweet and expresses herself so well. Her voice is super calming. I’m so sorry for the traumatic shit and bullying she’s been through, despite that, she seems like a wonderful person. I don’t watch streams but I might watch hers lol
kid with tourette's syndrome: i have tourette's
the bully: *understandable have a great day*
not really , my class clown mate sometimes sarcasm w/ my TS but then i improve myself to less these Tics and it finally work.
ksjiak
@@Zach_Keith it was a joke, but I'm sorry you had to go through that
If only
Imagine a beautiful world like that where people are ✨UNDERSTANDING✨
Please consider doing "I spent a day with people who have OCD". I have it and it can be really disruptive and people who don't know anything about it tend to judge those of us who have OCD. They don't understand why we repeatedly have do or say certain things over and over again. Also, people with OCD tend to sometimes have depression and/or anxiety too, myself included.
ohhhhh my god yes and the stupid offensive "ocd game" ads should be discussed...i don't even have ocd and they piss me off
@@kattila7 so what are you trying to say?
@@solobruhclfd7927 The ads are damaging have nothing to do with ocd.
Talking about Pure OCD would be amazing. An ocd that many people don’t know about, unfortunately.
Yea and now ppl will actually know what it is instead of that one kid being like ‘OMGGGG I HAVE OCD GUYSSSS’
“My parents were like yo stop”
That was so great lol
I think that response goes with everything.
She kind of looks like Michael reeves
"You should probably stop" i was screaming
She sounded like my friend when she said that lol
4:26 “I don’t see my tourets as my condition, I see it as my challenge. Everyone has challenges. And I’m not defined by the fact that I’m facing it, I’m defined by how I handle it.”
Wise words. Hit me hard.
all of the guests seem so endearing and friendly, they all made me smile when they let themselves open up and enjoy being interviewed :D It's always really nice to see something new come up in my feed from this channel and get to both learn while having fun along the way. Lovely people working on this series from start to finish, thanks to all of those supporting both the channel and the people who get interviewed. Watching these is usually the highlight of my day ^^
AGRRREEEEED
Best comment ever
Gloria F. Exactly
He's like a theripist. But not like an actually theripist.
Little late to this comment but anita has a twitch account where you can get to know her more!
i really admire that he chose 2 people who dont have verbal tics. I have tourettes but grew up with no verbal tics (i have 2 now) and people would always say to me "youre faking it cuz i dont notice it" or "youre not screaming and cursing so you dont actually have it". its refreshing to see that all different types of the disorder are being acknowledged and accepted :)
The girl literally said she had a coughing and water drop noise tic and the guy said he makes noises too???
They all have vocal tics???
To be diagnosed you have to have minimum 2 motor tics and 1 vocal tic??
What??
Vocal tics are literally one of the diagnostic criteria for tourette's, otherwise you have chronic tic disorder
Edit: yeah y'all are right, not all vocal tics are strictly verbal. My bad
@@theescapist9450 i think the original commenter meant talking ot coprolalia tics instead of vocal
@@theescapist9450 @sky vocal =/= verbal, vocal tics can be something like coughing or humming or that popping noise Anita does but verbal tics are actual words or phrases.
I have been diagnosed with Tourette's, though I've never been treated, and the symptoms have been very mild and have never really grown out of two urges (stretching and clearing my throat), so people don't notice it. I don't have any other "verbal" ticks besides coughing and throat clearing (my swearing is my own, thank you...)
Anita's childhood experience is so horrible. Considering what she was saying about how if you're told not to do something it can trigger a tic, it makes me wonder if having a diagnosis earlier would mean some of her tics now would be less extreme. These were all great guests and it was really great to learn more about this syndrome 👍
Yeah
absolutely nightmare. This is the kind of parent who would shout 24h a day "don't do that", specially when you have forgotten the tic, the parent would constantly remind you of it and worry you about it, will never let you get rid of the tic.
What's even worse is that now that Anita became successful, her family members started to contact her and also asked her for money 🙃
I hope she doesn't feel pressured to respond and give money to an abusive family so people don't go around in her streams and videos saying "oh my god, she ignores her mom, what a terrible person". She absolutely does not need to talk to toxic people or to do what they pressure her to do, it doesn't matter if it's family.
Each case is unique in its own way. There is a natural progression of the affliction that is dependant on environmental variables.
Some people improve over time. Some people deteriorate.
Some people can be easily provoked and adopt new mannerisms easily. Others are more resistant to those same influences.
Some people do well with medication. Others do worse because the side effects are far worse than the affliction.
The crossovers of Tourettes being spread between a physiological and neurological impairment can create a varying spectrum of endless different presentations. There is no single recipe for guaranteed success in treatment.
Not enough is known about chemical imbalances of the brain to offer the treatment options necessary to control such involuntary subconscious impulses.
For many, the stigmas and anxiety of social interaction is worse than the syndrome itself.
Sadly, we live in a very ignorant and intolerant world, where far too many take far too much for granted.
Girl with pig tails seems so funny and genuine to be around
Imagine having tourettes and deciding to stream knowing how cruel is the Internet, Anita deserves the world
I don’t understand why she had to stream instead of like youtube where you can edit the most offensive ticks?
@@maddie8655 she does youtube as well
@@maddie8655 she explained she did not have the n word tic when she started twitch
@@maddie8655 afaik she really doesnt mind and embraces it and knows its entertaining people. At least thats what I heard. So I mean if saying slurs while having tourettes get you banned constantly maybe the moderators should be a little more considerate?
@@maddie8655 she likes streaming :)
who’s the girl with the braids in her hat?! shes hilarious “iono i’m dancing” i love her lmao
Her name is Emberly. Her Instagram is in the disc
lil peepshirt
Natalie Nicole she’s peng too
@@heartofetherea disc?
Ruple Thaker description of the video💜
I watched this video when it came out, and it led to me finally getting a diagnosis after 6 years of symptoms. Thanks for making it lmao, my brain apparently needed help finding out why I kept yelling "monarchy".
That’s amazing
Monarchy?
Man, I thought mine was random.
Mine is chapstick lol
Damn hope your good man
Great job.
I've pretty sure I've got tourette's syndrome since I have a bunch of tics. If I can count correctly I have 10.
