Literally a few hours ago read about how things like tensing your muscles because you felt like you had to was a tic! I honestly just assumed that was something people did. I had no idea, and it makes so much sense now lol.

Hi Glittergloss, there are different types of tic disorders, and sometimes behaviours such as squeezing muscles because you feel like you have to, can also be associated with anxiety conditions including obsessive compulsive disorder. If you would like to read more about Tourette Syndrome, in which someone has to have a combination of vocal and motor tics for at least 12 months, then I'd suggest reading the Tourettes Action website which has lots of information and links to further support: tourettes-action.org.uk
Best wishes
