Hello and thank you in advance for your help. I have suffered from some moderate twitching all my life. In the last 3 years, 95% of it has gone away. I used to think it was just biological but I learned that the twitching stemmed from anxiety and it was my body's way of dealing with stress. I eliminated the twitching by learning some cognitive techniques, meditation, and overall just becoming a more peaceful person.

I still experience twitching (mostly eye twitches in the form of excessive blinking) when I go to class (I'm 27 and go to night class for psychology). Now I wouldn't say at all that I am nervous in class. In fact, I enjoy speaking in public. But the blinking does bother me as you can imagine and I get somewhat self conscious about it. When I become aware of the blinking, that's what makes it worse. I do notice that it occurs more when I am tired. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd rather not take any medicine for this because it really only is confined to the classroom setting and also when I go on a first date. But like I said, I'm not nervous but not exactly 100% comfortable either.
