Ok, so I am not generally a shy person, I have spoken in front of large groups of people. I socialise and go out.........but why is it that my Tourette's will take over when I pick the phone up (not with friends of family usually), or when I order food in a restaurant.... and most definitely in a shop!! This has a snowball effect on the anxieties associated with it.
My tyre was flat yesterday, I knew it had to get fixed, I knew friends or family would help out and come with....BUT, I feel sometimes, I have to do these things myself. I took me a long time to build myself up to go: I was incredibly anxious and a ticcy mess when I arrive at the tyre centre. As usual I was treated well when I explained my condition (which I find the hardest thing to do) and the tyre was fixed. I came home exhausted, pleased I had done it but angry that I feel this way!
Most of the time I feel ok, but it is the effect of being treated as a defective human by certain people (that thankfully are no longer in my life) that has left me feeling this way!
Medication?
