DD's latest tic is making me murderous.[title edited by MNHQ]

[FuckYouSheRa]

It's a revolting little throat noise. Over and over and over again.

I thought the random clicking from a few weeks ago was bad enough, or the rhythmical sniffs or last week's tap tap tap but OH MY FUCKING GOD all I can hear now, even over the hubbub of Sunday dinner, is mm mm, mm mm from the back of her throat.

I've had to leave the table and I'm on the verge of tears. If anyone has ANY idea how I can get through this, please share.

No idea why she tics, by the way, she always has. It is actually torture to not react or scream at her to stfu .

I'm posting to take my mind off it tbh.

my son tics my daughter does too she clicks her throat constantly and taps her teeth pulls on her nose i swear her nose is being pulled out of shape because of it her nose used to be a nice shape now it looks out of shape i watch her pull on it and im gently telling her hands away please by the end of the weekend im like OH MY FUCKING GOD GETOFYOUR DAMMNOSE! in my head!!

my son rubs his penis till its bruised and has been back and forth to the doctors till we realised it was him they nearly operated thinking he needed his foreskin removing due to constant infections the last few years he has been scrubbing his hands together he has a line of hard skin on his hands now

he also clicks clacks as soon as he is told to sit still so his brother can go to sleep he starts flapping and jumping in his face he even ran up to him and shouted at him are you asleep yet? he is compelled to do this i should really not ask him to be quiet should i

you have my sympathies

oh the flapping, bouncing, grimacing, hair twirling etc etc completely washes over me but the vocal ones are draining :/

Honey, be it ticks, the way they chew crisps or slurp soup every now and again we are all entitled to feel like that and I'm sure most of us here have gone into the other room and screamed into a cushion as well.
If posting here is your outlet and your way of dealing with something that I imagine is frightening for you as well then you carry I doing what you need to do to cope.
The majority here will support you, hold your hand and scream into the cushion for you.
Have a non mumsnetty hug and may all your cushions be soft and plump

Burping tic has been the worst one that ds has had. Having a tic free few months at the moment.

OP you have my sympathy

Something like that would drive me utterly insane

I don't blame you for coming here to rant.

Obviously it's awful for the person who has tics, but that doesn't mean it isn't also awful for those closest to them to have to listen to it.

DD1 throat clearing, funny breath drove me crazy.

However, we found the cure. DD1 is a serious singer. If you ask her to sing she concentrates on breathing properly and annoying the ought clearing goes away.

The best of mums get brassed off sometimes, venting in a safe place and saying what you'd never say or do in RL is a great way to release some of that steam and be able to carry on. Hope she's asleep now and you've had a good chance to de stress a bit OP.

You have my sympathies, I've just yelled at DH as his throat clearing is horrendous tonight. He has ASD and Tourettes, the Tourettes is the head stretching when stressed/nervous and the throat clearing,I know this, but sometimes the sheer sound of it drives me insane. I still love the very bones of him.

My ds has tics , moves something ALL the time, lines his eyes up with things, blinks...
Non of it irritates me. I am able to cut it out. Dh is snoring lightly beside me-now that makes me want to stab out his eyeballs!

I can empathise.

We used to have Tic Of The Month with ds1. Ds2 used to copy them

He's grown out of them now thankfully.

My ds has AS and was diagnosed with TS, some of his tics can be small and easily ignored, some are huge whole body tics that hurt him. I've had tics for 44 years that also are varied like ds's. I have no diagnosis but have accepted he has likely inherited TS from me. I feel the same shame and embarrassment now that I felt at 15 when everyone laughed at me. My dm did not cope well and thought I was doing it for attention. She was filled with rage as well. Any tic however minor causes upset and embarrassment. When I see my ds suffering I just feel so devastated at the thought he has them for life. I don't get irritated by them, I get desperately sad and upset. I quite frankly don't care what other people think about his tics. I just wish I could take a pill and make them go away permanently. It is infinitely worse having them than watching them. Flowers for your dc op

My daughters latest tic is hiccuping like a frog. She seems to have hiccups every 5 minutes at the moment and the noise is so loud! Although this is better than the high pitched giggle that was like nails on a blackboard..i know she can't help it but it can be very wearing. Her elder brother had silent tics..tapping..jazz hands..knuckle popping..leg shaking (which he still does a lot) and he was diagnosed with aspergers at age 11..shes just starting that process but they are very alike.

Ds went through a summer when he was 8 making a very odd throat noise,I think it was a combination of hay fever irritation and a mild stress tic. Dear Lord it drove me absolutely up the wall, he didn't even know he was doing it. Thankfully it went as quickly as it started. No amount of music or television distracted me I could hear him doing it wherever he was in the house. I'm sure I was honing in on it because I was worried. I hear you OP

My DS is like Linski's. He has whole body tics. The uni let people in his lectures know at the beginning of each year. He has seriously hurt himself when his tics have been so bad that he's fallen in the road/on pavements etc. We live with it, getting angry and telling him off, as others have done is pointless, he cannot help it. Telling him to stop is like asking a short sighted person to remove their glasses, it helps no-one.
I'm sorry you feel the way you do OP and I hope things improve for you.
