Thanks dfh
And REEG, you have Tourette's? My doc can't figure out if my twitches are compulsions or tics, because I have head-jerks but usually there's a thought I'm "shaking away." It's not like I choose to do it though or could stop if I try - I also have other twitches in my legs and feet that never have anything to do with thoughts but always get much worse when I'm anxious. Thing is, I didn't really have these that much until the last couple of years, and Tourette's doesn't have adult onset usually. Sometimes I have what feels to me like a phonic tic, too - I say syllables like "ch" or "t." But then other times I have to say things in response to my repetitive thoughts, like I'll get caught saying a random word like yesterday it was "minimizing," and I think that's OCD.
It's
weird. This never used to happen to me until the last year or two!
