A person with Tourette Syndrome has uncontrollable behaviors “ticks” such as swearing, excessive blinking, shaking, etc. It was explained to me that they can keep these behaviors at bay for a short period of time. However, one minute too long and the behavior manifests like a flood of water when a dam breaks. I totally understand this now. My “ticks” are my tears and it makes me very anxious in social situations. One minute too long and the dam breaks. At least my swearing is under control :)...unless I find the bastard who took Gracie’s butterfly light from her grave…..Tourette’s! I'm always missing my Gracie but lately it's just brutal.
