Under Pressure

 6 more days until results. My tics have been quite bad today because I'm worrying a lot about it. But I'm going to get my results with 3 of my best friends and hopefully the grades will be good. If they get all downgraded, I won't be pleased. 

Ways to cope with Tourettes under stress: 

• Listen to any music that makes you feel relaxed enough
• Watch a tv show that you absolutely love; in my case, Doctor Who, Friends or Scrubs
• Fidget with something that either squishes or feels nice
• Breathe in and out slowly for 7 seconds and then continue to breathe normally
• Talk to someone and let someone know what is wrong
• Ask for a hug from someone in your family or a really good friend
• Ask for help

Don't keep your problems bottled up because a problem shared is a problem halved. Yes, it's cheesy, but it's true. Please do not keep your problems all bottled up. It is no good for anyone and I take that from personal experiences. I should listen to my own advice.
