same I feel you 😭
Same😔...hugs 🥰

Andrà meglio. ❤️ Ti auguro un buon 2021😊

“try not to blink”
my blinking tics: allow me to introduce myself
i just jammed my eyes closed for like half the video.
Ah yes people like me😂😭 Eye tics are really annoying though
My eye tics are quite new and the blinking thing has set them off so bad 😅
My eye rolling tics usually get me in trouble at school a lot 😃
aaaahhhhhh exactly, i have one where my eyes close and i can’t open them😂💀
My husband has TS and he was bullies by his third grade teacher so bad that he finally went home and told his dad .... my husband's dad went straight to the school and chewed the teacher out so bad that he MADE HER CRY .... so awesome
I hope that teacher got fired from that horrible experience your husband must of had
This is a really good book. I knew a lot of kids who when they were 8 would make fun of this behaviour. I was friends with someone with Tourettes when I was about 8 and 9. A lot of people made fun of her until she moved school about year after we met. I haven’t seen her since but I’m sure she’s fine.
When I said « who would make fun of this behaviour » I meant something along the lines of « would make fun of someone with Tourette’s » if you couldn’t tell 😂
@@Eliza_Is_Weird oh ok I got a little confused
@@imbored2227 glad I put that in there
@@Eliza_Is_Weird so am I lmao
My tics started around 8 and 9 and some people at my school found it funny or saw it as a game. Some people would laugh, some people would avoid mentioning it at all costs. They tried to trigger my tics or give me new ones and I had my first tic attack in no time. I’m glad people are more aware of things like that now (people might just be more aware at my school but whateveverr).
My little sister was asking me questions about why this person I was watching was doing their tics I couldn't explain it very well so I clicked on this video, now she knows so much about it and I even learnt more so thank you soo much and I love your channel ❤️
✨beans!✨ That is so adorable!! ☺️
✨b e a n s ✨
also "the beetroot," which doesn't happen to show up here, but appears in others.
This should be her merch saying BEANS
Yeah jelly beans are especially cute
I love "beans" it's a nice fun word to say hehe ☺️
Hi I have tourette's too and I am happy I found someone who I can relate to
my brother has had Tourette syndrome ever since he was in 3rd grade
I only recently noticed I had tics
I'm not sure if I triggered them or something but ye at the begging if the year I started having blinking tics it's nice to know that someone else has them too
When she said go ahead pause the video try not to blink I was like no thanks I don't need to I have tic lmao I already know how uncomfortable it is
Edit: wait there's mental tics. Do that's what the worrying every night was about random stuff that I highly doubt would ever happen. Thanks for clearing that up Evie I've had that type of tic for years now and never noticed
I don't have Tourette's but I also struggle with tics sometimes
@@natroseee you might want to go to your doctor about that if you haven't already
Dang didn’t realize my mental and physical stammering is part of my ticks, also Tourettes is connected to many other neurological diversity (anxiety, Aspergers, adhd, and more)
Yea true. I have a type of autism, and I have tourettes. I searched it up and tourettes is also connected to my type of autism.
I have pretty severe adhd and have many (non tourettes)tics to the point they just shoved me on haldol and called it a day 😅
@@local_anxiety_rat1276 you might have a tick disorder but not Tourettes
@@always0tired415 thats what i said I have adhd tics
I feel like Tourettes isn't talked about enough, so thank you so much, Evie for talking about it so openly.
Hearing the list of the little boy's tics made me start doing them too. :) I compare holding tics in to a conveyor belt, where, if you hold your hand in front of the items coming down the line, and they build up till you let go and everything explodes.
This is amazing!
That holding your eyes open analogy is amazing. I just am so happy the artist wrote about it
Thank you! ☺️ x
Sianna Stodd Oh wow you replied - that’s just lovely.
Excellent book! I think you found a lovely way to explain what Tourette’s is in a way everyone should understand ❤️
I just love the vibes in her videos u get me? Feel comfortable around her
It's been a rough patch of life for me lately, because I've been struggling with tics. These tics just came, and I'm so glad I found your channel because it's helping me out so much. If I do end up having Tourette's, I'll thank you for making me strong enough to deal with it. Looking at the way you live your life with Tourette's really gives me hope. Thank you, and I will never stop supporting you!
Dating a girl like this wouldn't be a burden at all. I would enjoy being supportive and laughing with her, not at her.
I love how you educate people and spread awareness all while having fun and brightening people’s days. So amazing♥️
you're my spoonful of sugar during the quarantine! what an attitude Evie! hugs from Greece
I have a mild form of tourettes and any time I see other people with it display their tics, I can feel all their tics in my body. I had someone ask me if I had tourettes one time, I'll never forget, they could tell because they also had it. For some reason my tourettes lies very dormant until I'm trying to learn or focus on something, then it just is like gahh, it made school so difficult.
Hey a late Christmas present, story time with Trippy Hippie! I think this book is a great idea, helping children with tourettes learn that there's nothing 'wrong' with them & that they're just as valid as everyone else. It's great that people like you are building this community & spreading awareness. Can you imagine how hard it must have been years ago before stuff like this existed? Keep up the good work 💜💜
Edit: I'd never heard of mental tics either, I've learnt something ☺️
You're such an inspiration and I hope that you can live your life to the fullest even with your tourettes ❤
she's doing a great job!
@@pixtresque Definitely 👍!
Thanks for spreading awareness about tourettes syndrome. You're an inspiration.
Having a difficult syndrome that gives you a hard life, but as an inspiration like you you're a great person to everyone who's following your vids and enjoying it. I hope you'll have a great life. Huge respect for you😊
Such a cute book. It's actually really informative in a very easy to understand way
I’m currently in the process of getting a diagnosis for my tics and all the testing has been rlly hard...hearing ur voice was enough to make me feel so much better. Thank you :)
your whistles are just amazing, the one you did in the beginning, was so accurate to one of the notification sounds
I love it when you read us a story! You bring so much light into my...OUR shitty days! Thank you for existing Evie! You're perfect and wonderful...Such a huge fan!
this is absolutely wild! I know ASL and I have the same mental tics at night where I finger spell words that get stuck in my head. I had no idea this was a part of my tic disorder!!
My daughter has it too, and we love your videos. I have learned so much from you, and I get it a lot better now that I have watched your list. Keep on keeping on!
Yes!!!!! Finally ive been waiting ages for you to upload
Same
*sorry for bad english*
Thank you for sharing your happiness, I follow you since 2 weeks and i've lerned a lot of things about Tourette's Sindrome . Good luck for this channel and Happy new year from Italy!
That was good English well done 😂
I love your videos and I saw that lots of others in the comments have Tourettes and I thought this would be a safe place to share that I have had tics for around a year now and it has recently been diagnosed as Tourettes and I have felt different. I find having hiccups really hard and I repeat actions and loud sounds. Sometimes I hit my friends and sometimes I say It’s the chickens mrs tweedy. People question my Tourettes and say that my tics aren’t real because sometimes I have random tics but I have to explain over and over that I have main tics and random tics. I’m only 11. I didn’t tic to much whilst watching this because of your calming voice nd the relaxing music. If you read all of this thank you. Please like to stand up against tics and Tourettes.❤️
I love you evie, with or without Tourette’s 🥰❤️
I just found you on TikTok and I've been watching some of your vids here on YT. I've read a comment thread of the one where you're reading a story and had a tic attack at the same time and apparently there was a hater in the comments. All the comments of that person are deleted now so I couldn't read them, but I read the other people's replies and your replies to him. I hope you learn to ignore those trolls and haters, please, instead of trying to argue with them, because they're ignorants and have no brain, and they won't want to understand anything you say to them.
You do you girl and never forget that people love you for the way you are, I didn't start to follow you because of your condition but because of your personality. Please don't let the haters bring you down.
Sorry for the long text (if you read this).
Take care and surround yourself with love and positivity. And just never stop doing what makes you happy.❤️
that blinking analogy is so helpful
I've also described it as an itch that really needs to be scratched.
The blinking analogy was so simple yet powerful, what a great book ❤️
Evie is a very REAL inspiration she's AMMAAAZZIIINN in so many ways pls BE KIND if you don't understand or get what she has LOOK IT UP not hard to do I will never understand why people think we're faking our ticks and our disabilities it's because they've nothing better to do with our lives so they have to put us people down that have really big syndromes that we're facing and really big challenges with our disabilities so people don't understand and don't know they just love to put people like us down but I'm happy you're so strong and can pull through anything don't listen to the haters obviously they have nothing better to do with their lives than torture you and bring you down and you don't let that happen
I tried to stop blinking, and I realized 2 things : 1) as you said it become very hard, but 2) when I did let myself blink again I was blinking non stop, like 4 times more than usual.
I suppose trying to control your tick could do the same, forcing you to have even more than before?
Youre right haha
7:49 Cool, I didn’t know that was a thing! I’ve noticed I almost never tic when I’m singing.
She is a strong angel I hope you have a good day ily ❤️
I truly believe that I have mental ticks. I don't have anything physical, but I do stammer sometimes and get stuck shen speaking and it really frustrates me. It started happening while I was already in my 20s and idk what it is. I've expressed concern to my doctor, but he has never tested anything or prescribed anything and I don't think he takes me seriously, but he doesn't know what it's like in my head and it's really hard to describe to someone who has never experienced anything similar. I hate going to the doctor for anything, so why would I make this up? I can't prove to you that my brain is weird.
This was such a nice video! I think it’s nice how you’re talking about your mental tics and the hard things. I learned so much from your video’s, so I want to say thank you💗 xx
thank you for continuing to spread positivity! you are so lovely, and it’s great to hear from you! i hope you had an amazing christmas as well, and that you and everyone in your home stays safe and well 💕
The analogy of trying not to blink and the sting in your eye really made me feel how difficult that can be. I'm sat here watching your video with my 12 year old son, who had never heard of Tourette's before. He said there are some good sides and bad sides and feel is was very educative. We're going to carry on watching and have subbed :) Thank you for sharing your story! EDIT: By the way, your phrase *"In My Head Instead"* is either, a great name for a potential album of your music, or a book you may write in the future, or your MERCH!. Either way, GET IT REGISTERED! - as a Google search in those context, doesn't bring up much in those departments :)
Your amazing. I'm so proud of you and how far you have come. Thank you for spreading awareness ❤
Loved that video. Very helpfull for people that dont really understand what tourrettes really is! Thanks for Sharing all your experiences. I couldnt Do that at all, i hold my tics even in front of my Mom cuz i hate doing Them and i dont want her to judge me, so doing Them in front of camera and in front of thousands of people Watching. Cheers!
Thank you so much for talking about singing and not experiencing ticks! I found your videos a week ago and have been curious ever since. Love watching your stories!
Omg that eye analogy was perfect! I will be using this to explain it to people more often
Some of my friends have tics and I understand that it’s hard to let out during school so at recess I let them tic hit me and they always say sorry and I’m like “you have to hold them in always in class so it’s fine” I wish it was normal for people to let out tics in class because it’s a thing you can’t control and the other kids in my school really don’t understand that and it makes me sad that people can’t understand
But with people like you who try to have people understand and help other people with your content it makes me really happy :)
this is so awesome. I only have 2 tics that I know of. never been diagnosed with anything. but the other things like mental tics, “anxiety”, and burst of energy are all things that happen to me. very inspiring and helpful video and book
My friend in my school has torrents syndrome and he dose thing and makes noises but I know that’s gonna happen and don’t ever tell a person with torrets to stop bc they can’t stop
Best Christmas present ever!!! A new video by Evie
I agree on the part where it said the first tic he did he didn't know it was a tic because my first tic i didn't think anything of it either.
Ive enjoyed these story times/ readings . Very lovely ❤️☺️
You are such a wonderful inspiration to so many people, your gorgeous, kind, and strong. Love you and hope you had a great holiday ♥︎
thank you so much for making these awareness vids. you have a beatiful soul!
I watched this with my 4 year old❤️ He loved the story and I like knowing he will hopefully grow into someone who is very accepting❤️❤️ We love you ❤️❤️❤️
I hope you had an amazing Christmas (or what you celebrate) and everything is ok! I hope 2021 will be better for all of us haha and you made me happier during the year. I’m so glad I found you because you taught me a lot about Tourette’s syndrome and how bad it can really be, also you made me laugh a lot and smile so much throughout the year! I hope everyone who is reading thing has an amazing life and stays positive ❤️😀
the book was actually great - need to make sure my library has it. but evie you yourself are really the best possible ambassador for the condition through your self-acceptance & amazing sense of humor, the way you & also your family seem to find your infinite surprises more delightful than anything else. like you're an unintentional jokester. the wordplay that tics out is especially fascinating & funny, where it fills in the blanks with whatever completes a pattern. these are the kinds of things i often impulsively think, creating a private amusement, but your tics just shamelessly spit them out, & i think that's awesome. somehow even though I don't have tourette's, my sense of humor feels less alone & weird. does that make any sense? i really love your content, persistence, education, & attitude. I'm sure it's harder to live with than you let on, but just so you know, what you do let on is totally lovable & succeeeds in demystifying fnd/tourette's, making it easier to see the unique individual behind the tics in anyone. thank you for being!! 💚💙💜
Thank you Evie! I’ve had a wonderful time as a recent subscriber! I love how open you are able to be with your family. I wish mine was like that as well. You certainly help me in my self.
these last few days have been really hard for me, i am non binary and i keep getting misgenderd by my homophobic family,
it triggers my tics a lot cuz i get really anxious. i really needed to hear youre voice and see youre face !!
thank u ! u saved my life whitout even knowing !! ❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺🥺
I really enjoy your social media platforms. I binge watched your Tik Tok videos for an hour when I came across your account and really enjoyed all the content. I cant imagine how hard living with tourettes must be but your personality and talents truly outshine your ticks. I love your sense of style too!🌙🌙🌙☀️
i really relate to evie because we have similar stories with our tics and tourette’s. i have mental tics too and i also get those random bursts of energy. i’ve been finding it difficult to explain how tics feel to someone so thank you for that bit. i love you evie, you inspire me!! happy new year ❤️
I just discovered your channel and absolutely love your content. I've already learned a lot from your experiences and stories. Also, you got my cats' attention every time you whistled, so they came over to see what I was watching. 😂 Thank you for the amazing videos, and keep up the hard work! Stay safe and be well!
i love your videos!! i recently have been dealing with tics of my own that have developed and you have helped me more than you know.
you deserve all the love and support you sweet human bean ❤️ happy new year to you and your loved ones too and I hope 2021 will be kinder for you xx
Cool wish they had a book on D.I.D or also know split personalities and how it explains how d.i.d works
Same
Omg I can’t wait to see what she has in store for 2021... I missed you so much and a happy New Years to you too 💕
Evie, you are a perfect spokesperson to help teach awareness of Tourette’s. I’m so sorry how hard this disorder is on you.
This is random but I was lowkey having a panic attack tonight and watching this video calmed me down tremendously. I'm still kinda panicky, but not so much as before. Thank you ❤
That way of describing how holding in tics feels was very interesting. I never really understood before when you said it was very uncomfortable to hold them in ❤
Thank you for uploading!! I know you may have been busy but your uploads really make me smile! 🥰🥰
that was beautiful story! i’ve only had my tic symptoms for about 6-7 months but they’ve gotten a lot worse and it’s difficult for me.. but watching your videos gives me a ray of hope so thank you for that 💕
I had no idea that mental tics was a thing! Thank you for teaching me something new today.
You’re so adorable...also so brave for making these videos to educate and help others understand better what it’s like to have Tourette’s. I wish I would have been as brave as you about my struggles as a teen. I had psoriasis and never wore shorts or went swimming for an entire summer in AZ (120 degree heat) bc I didn’t want anyone to see it. It was Hell (literally lol). I feel like UA-cam and brave people such as yourself are tearing down societal walls and bringing people together. Much love and hugs from CA, USA
💜✝️
"Oh sorry plant" lol PLANTS HAVE LIVES TOO!
i cant imagine how hard is for people with tourette.... u are so strong you really are and im proud of it, you are such an inspiration for people that have this sindrome
I'vee been very sad because my dad has to leave home for 3 months because of his work and hearing your voice and seeing you makes me feel very good. It's amazing how one person can change your mood in a second. Thanks for everything, Evie! Love from Argentina ✨🌙🌱
Dear Trippy Hippy,
Thank you, for being a excellent representative. Your skills are top notch. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. And have a great New Year.
I'm so glad I've found you on TikTok. You're a sunshine, I wish you all the best. ❤️
I CAN’T WAIT to see what you have planned for 2021!! I hope you and your family/friends have a beautiful New Year!
My philosophy on life is to always be kind, so I love that the author out that in the book. We need more kind, understanding, empathetic people in this world...just like you Evie!! ❤️
Thank you for sharing that book with us. The more we know the better we can be.
Definitely procrastinating at work and watching you today!
i was really having a hard time and then, the notification of Evie's video, it really made my day 🥺🥺
Thank you for an educational video, Evie. You are a special girl and thank you for being you.
Love from Greenland❤
You are amazing and just keep going , remember that your in this world for a reason and we all love you so much.
Hi! I just wanted to say that you're beautiful and amazing! I also have tourettes and I know they're hard and sometimes painful. But no matter what, just keeping living life as much as you can! ❤️✨
Merry Christmas Evie, glad to see an new upload! Hope you have a beautiful rest of your day!
A very informative book and as you say, very good for raising awareness. Thanks for sharing Evie, you are awesome!
These are my favorite videos from you is when you read books. You are very talented and beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us.
So proud of you, and this video 💓💓💓💓💓💓
Yesss!! I’ve been waiting for that vid since seeing it in community 😂
I love you evie and support any decision, you make. You are and amazing, and gorgeous person. I hope you have an amazing week and weekend! Always keep your head up because we are here for you!❤️❤️💕
I feel the same as Alfie when I try to hold my tics in. I always try to hold them in near my family. That’s why I am scared to spend time with them. It’s super uncomfortable. It makes me feel jittery and super anxious. 😟 I plan on telling my family about my tics soon so hopefully I don’t have to feel like this around them anymore :)
merry (late) Christmas love! You are so amazing and you inspire me and so many others.
You’re such a kind, honest and open human...
I always look forward to your videos. You're so full of joy despite your hardships and that's very inspiring for me. My mental illness sometimes makes me act weird especially in public. Seeing your courage gives me hope. I wish you the very best for the New Year!💛
Aww this book is so amazing! Thank you for teaching me a lot more about Tourettes Evie.
I found you yesterday and have spent most of my time watching your UT videos. I also watched other tourettes videos and find it hard to listen to them. However I find listening to you to be comforting.
this is a beautiful xmas gift .. IT'S YOU !!!
What cool book thank you so much for reading it on your channel :) I can’t wait for your merch ! You got this happy new year
I’ve been developing new tics for the last probably 3 months now. I’ve always had tics (as long as I can remember) especially ones like the mental tics. Which I didn’t know existed until legit right now. I make draw out shapes in my head over and over but then I feel my body starting to move along with that shape. It could be in my arms or anything, but now I’ve been having ones like facial and vocal tics. But my mom doesn’t believe me anymore and writes it off as me being dramatic or making it up. She won’t let me go see anyone because of this so I’ve just been struggling alone. I appreciate your videos so much. Thank you for being there for me! 💜
Omg I'm early. So glad we got a video this morning! ❤❤
