Tourette at a party or social event

1 experience has been shared in this environment via the Tic Log.

Parties, a place where self-consciousness can really flare up. And maybe a drink or two help with socialising, but it can make tic worse and isn’t the best long-term solution.

Things to consider:

Feeling embarrassed in front of lots of people
Using substances to gain confidence, but can make us less self aware
Burnout from masking for long periods of time
Staying up late can reduce sleep and worsen tics
