Hi all,
I found this space while searching for low-barrier PTSD support. I'm very grateful that it exists.
My traumatic event happened 6 years ago, but its impact is still present in my body and mind. I struggle with physcial and verbal tics that came on shortly after the event and have not gotten much better since. They used to only happen with flashbacks, but now they happen when I think about anything even remotely uncomfortable (sometimes unrelated to the event).
They interfere with my daily tasks and focus. When it happens around other people, I have to try to play it off like I saw something or was coughing. It's really embarrassing.
I'm hoping to find some strategies to regain control over my body and mind so that the tics will go away.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
