  • thanx for putting ur self on u tube. u helped me understand my friend better :)

  • god bless you!

  • Honey are you aware that Cannabis (indica, not sativa) reduces many subconscience reactions. Its the reason I can no longer have dreams (good dreams or nightmares).. But, the conditions I have been saved from is definately worth it. P.S you are a real cutey.

  • do you have Tourette's?

  • stay strong,...i could go on n on writing 'bout my health issues,from having cancer 2x in 6 yrs. and now having fibromyalgia,,i'm 34..and you are a special beautiful soul..keep up the videos...bless you ..we are daily sufferers = survivors = strength ///// = peace/love/life/happiness/musi­c/~AG'BLisS

  • hey 

  • I met my first person with turrets the other day and was surprised by the disorder even though I heard about turrets before I never understood it before. Now I'm curious about the disorder and wish I could help. Thanks for posting your video. And Sarah keep in mind STAY STRONG! Your beautiful and remember to reach for the sky! Pete

  • You are amazing.

  • It's wonderful of you to post these candid videos. You're fantastic!

  • I subscribed because of this vid. If we humans had more strong people like you in charge, I don't think the world would be quite the toilet it's turning out to be. Keep being you. the world really does need you.

  • do tics come when you're asleep?

  • you are a powerfull woman

  • we are by youre side sweetie

  • I can relate to your description. I'm not exactly diagnosed with Tourette's. I kind of have many uncontrollable quirks. I hope you get well, or manage well. I pray for us. I don't know if you have this type of Tourette's but I have found that using earplugs helps me to keep my mouth closed.

  • mustache

  • i have FUCK BALLS tourettes and FUCK SHIT BITCH i need BALLS help! please SHIT FUCK BALLS ASS

  • @RougeTyrant People actually deal with this and you come on this girl's video just to be a trolling asshole? Grow the fuck up you immature faggot.

  • Hi! About an year ago i had some kind of tick where i snapped with my fingers every minute, and i feel some kind of itch when i dont do it... now, i stopped snapping, and started rubbing my pointer finger and my thumb together... if i think about it, i can stop, but after 2-3 days i continue... so, is this tourettes or just a habit?

  • @AirborneB6 Im sure its only a habit my friend, If you are in younger years its very common.

  • You are such a pretty young lady, and I've watched a couple of your videos and you are very inspring. I think you are wonderful and aweseome, especially for coming forward for making this video to help others. You are so brave. Thank you.

  • Whaow you're brave! :)

  • I don't have Tourette's but I have had difficulties socially in the past (I'm 20). I haven't been diagnosed with anything (other than having Crohn's Disease and that has fueled some of my anxiety/depression feelings) but I do understand how difficult it is to deal with something that's out of your control and how frustrated you can get by life and not being "normal" but eventually you learn how to adapt and accept yourself; being different isn't a bad thing, it teaches you how to be stronger

  • trust me I feel your pain... im 26 now had it forever, never talked about it so people always thought I was on drugs .

  • see if you can take Haldol it kinda works for me

  • i had mine since birth and was diagnosed at 5

  • tourettes can also cause problems with your body like mine cause arthritis and severe neck pain along with a car accident that made the pain worse

  • I searched for information about TS after watching an episode of True Life where a girl had the same condition. Your videos are absolutely amazing! You are such a great person - please keep providing light to this subject! :)

  • Thanks Sara ! Hugs from Brazil ! You make a lot of us feel better.

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO!

  • Hey - I found this very inspiriational. I have Tourettes and I am a 39 year old man. I could relate to a whole lot of what you said on this video, I know how you feel. Thank you so very much for this video, I am also on medication that tires me and I also get brief flashes mentally during which I feel very negative and depressed for about two seconds. Bless you - this is awesome.

  • I have a friend who has turrets and I think I might have them to cuz my muscles tense, twich and clear my throat every 5 seconds same with my friend

  • I showed this video to my college class, I found it to be the best video and most honest and from the heart. You are a brave young lady, you will go far in life with this kind of view on life.

  • sometimes when something crosses my mind of a time when ive been embarrassed, I automatically say something (usually I swear) or I sort of flinch, is that considered tourettes behaviour?

  • so how are you in all of this?

  • Too be honest i think ur ticks areee soooo cutee... >_< if u were my gf i want u to know id never get bored xD

  • You have excellent videos with good information for youth who are struggling to cope with TS.

    Lately, I've been having tension build up in my chest/solar plexus giving me the feeling that I need to shout or scream, only to have the tension go away and leaving me with sore muscles.

  • my ticks are when I find snacks, I eat them in one day, and when I find my favorite drinks, I drink in a taller cup.

  • @Playstation227 those arent tics, nor are they ticks....

  • God bless you for staying positive! You are an amazing young lady. I think you should write books for children and teens on coping with TS. Thank you for sharing your story. Keep the videos coming :D

  • BOB SAGET!!!!!!

  • your video was very interesting and helpful thank you ^_^

  • this link might help addforums . com /forums/ showthread . php?t=82484

    no spaces

  • i hear detoxing heavy metals from your body helps TS. you might want to google about it.

  • your cute

  • Hi Sara. You know how you said that when you're focused on something you enjoy, like playing music, your tics disappear for awhile? When you stop playing, do you find that for a little while your tics are even worse, like they've been building up?

  • cute girl, congrats, great vid

  • this one a really good video, congrats, really pretty good and nice

  • My son was diagnosed @ 7 he is now 22 he took klonopin for 2days when he was 17 . He hated it. He Stopped and just accepts his tourettes. So You can too. Get off the meds. They are not necessary.You can ! Everyone loves who you are regardless. So if you are ticking that bad on meds I don't see a need for them .Nor should your doctor.

  • ur so beautiful, keep your head up...it seemed though the more you talkd about it the more you stressd urself out and had ticks :(

  • Yep, that pretty much sums it up. A mild form of Tourettes runs in my family. My dad, my uncle, and I have it. I have not been diagnosed and neither have my dad or uncle but it's clear that I have it and that they have it too. You're right when you said it's like you have to fulfill something, because I could not have explained it better. Sometimes on bad tic days it's like going through hell. I really wish there was a cure besides the medicine that just makes you tired.

  • is there a connection between this and being anti social? my bf has this really terrible side where he becomes anti social and doesnt wanna talk to me. And I feel frustrated when I talk to him, its like talking to a kid.

  • Totally what I go through every day! :-) Awesome video! :-)

  • Sarah, I just wanted to let you know that you are so strong and confident. My school is having a science night and I'm doing a report on Tourettes, and I really wanted someone who has Tourettes point of view. I don't have Tourettes, but I respect everyone who does. Thank you so much, this was very helpful.

  • Are People born with this?...or can it just simply pop up in your life at any age?

  • @Midnightryder7 they are born with it but most of the time it isnt recongnized because kids are so playfull and happy, just like people with Tourettes seem happy. They get diagnosed with it as teens because most teens are so playfull and they have tics and vocal tics that shows that they do have Tourettes. :) hope this helped ya out a bit. @lotsofcurlz36 I went to the doctor and I was diagnosed with Tourette's and OCD.

  • @ImSoFreakingAwsome thanks for responding to my question!

  • beautiful girl!!!

  • Great video....

  • lol it was really funny when u said hm. mm mmm *eyebrow flex* , lol your tics are way better than mine. I scream and I like open one of my eyes and close the other one and twitch my head and make grunting noises.

  • you hang on in there i have the same thing basically exept im in the earlier stages schools a fucking nightmare even hanging out with friends is difficult

  • I learned about tourettes last semester in health and I just feel so bad for the liitle kids and all the people who have it. I have many physical disabilities so I know how u feel about going into school with new people and stuff. I have glaucoma, spina bifida, hydro sephilis, regre syndrome, and one other thing I can't remember at the moment. I just started watching ur vids and I already love watching ur them

  • thanx for making videos !!! i always get the best feeling and the biggest smile whenever i see your face on my subcription page.

  • Hi Sara I want to thank you because somehow you have inspired me to

    make my own video .. I'm Mexican ... I'm 19 years old ..

    and also I have tourettes since I was 10 years old.

    I have not been diagnosed or anything like that ... and .. I should have been

    grateful to see all these videos at that age ... and so I knew that what I have is normal ... and I am not a strange person ... hehe thanks sara!

  • #care

  • wow im so sorry for u i have ADD witch is kinda like that

  • Hello, I'm a medical student here in Brazil, I watched your videos and loved it. I did more research on Tourette syndrome and found it very interesting how people can live with this disorder. Congratulations!

  • Very Nice Video thank you...

  • you are very inspriational

  • I really liked seeing your videos on TS. I was diagnosed when I was around your age, maybe a few years younger. That was about 20 years ago. Much of what you say reminds me of how I was when I was younger and what I went through. Thank you for talking about your TS and sharing with us.

  • my lil bro has tourettes. its not severe or anything. he has facial tics. he usually blinks and shakes his head but its not really noticeable unless your looking for it. it dont seem like it bothers him to have tourettes and he gets along great with the neighborhood kids and kids at school. tourettes hasnt affected him at all, at least thats my opinion.

  • Can we get married?=D

    We have sooo much in common. both with Tourettes.

  • I have touretets I'm not sure how to spell it but most don't know that so thankyou for making that video

  • Thank you for sharing I also have Tourette's.

    It is not an easy life somtimes. I don't want to live anymore.

  • i like you, you're very smart and mature about the whole thing! good for you! :)

  • Sara, you are fantastic!

  • Thanks for sharing this video. It helps/educates me. My daughter who is 10 was just diagnosed with TS but, we have noticed it since she was about 7 years old. She's had the humming, blinking, lip smacking, skipping, throat clearing, arm extending and now she is having the head jerking, shoulder rolling and hopping. If you have used the 7 day patch could you explain how it made you feel and did it help you? We are thinking about using it if the Clonidine doesn't work as well. Thanks!!! Michelle

  • This video is so informative. I'm currently working on a research project for my Psychology class and my topic is tourette's syndrome. I was just wondering if you had like a two minute video describing the positives and negatives of the syndrome, and the physical and emotional toll, that I can possibly show my Psych class, with your permission of course?

  • All the best. Keep fighting and be strong. I m sure your message will inspire those are figthing like you.

    Big kiss.

    

  • wow, your very hot, please dont feel bad you are a very wonderful person very uplifting and happy. i hope u do well in life, and be well. id like to just hug you and tell you it will be ok, hugs...thanks for sharing your thoughts.

  • ur so cute... wuvv ur eyes :)

  • great video, i really like it. I was just curious how my feelings bout it compared with others...sounds same..very tiring.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA AHAHAH AHA HA H AHA HHA H AAHHAHAHA H HAH A HH AH HA H AHA HHA HHA A HA HAH AH HA HA HA HHA H AH A

  • Cute kid!

  • It's amazing the way you inform people about TS. Many of us don't know about it, and listening to someone explain it as well as you do, really helps us understanding all it involves. I suffer from a different condition that people really don't get as well: vitiligo. Even when it's only a skin thing, it's really difficult to deal with, psychologically speaking.

    You have a bright future ahead, hun!

  • Your sexy, you can tick all you want.

  • You are beautiful! I don`t care how young you are :) Keep informing people!!!

  • Wow this child has a lot of vids.  Me thinks she's out for attention. Shameful!

  • @CanadianLiz01

    This young woman is admirable. What is shameful is the fact that someone feels the need to criticize her. "Me thinks" she is out to spread understanding.

  • I just had a situation at my job with some guy calling me a faggot under his breath. Owners say he has this condition. Is this for real or is he insulting me?

  • @DJLunasf It's for real! Catch my video on severe types of Tourette's Syndrome.

  • @lotsofcurlz36 To reply, can anyone send me some more info about this condition? If so, I'm curious.

  • @DJLunasf nah your prolly just a faggot.. : (

  • @azrial4421 Fuck you.

  • @DJLunasf I have the cussing form of TS I say fuck a lot and give the bird. If the guy has TS hes not saying it to insult any one.

  • @ellimist6 Please help me understand, can you email me about it?

  • @robinbirdslife, I thought exactly the same thing. Sarah, I know it's tough, hun, but lots of us are seeing that you REALLY have some real pottential in motivational speaking or counseling for people, especially kids,who have a hard time dealing with TS.

  • Hey my names Preston I have Tourettes and am looking for people to chat with who has it. msg me or send a comment thanks.

  • What is the diagnostic criteria for tourettes? I'm becoming more and more convinced that I have a mild form but I can control it to a degree. I'm 26 by the way. I've always thought I'd had 'habits' but when I stopped one, I would develop another. I used to curl my upper lip towards my nose and sniff when I was at school. When I stopped (through conscious effort) I started twitching my eye. I also roll my shoulder blade and make noises with my throat. The difference is, when I'm aware I can stop.

  • hi. my name is marcos. i wanted to know if there is a cure chance of a for it, or if its something that can't be helped? i know it has to do with the brain, but that's about it. if u can plz write me back at madtrolllepper@yahoo.com thank u for your time.

  • thank you!

  • you are very articulate, and very motivational.............keep it up....:)

  • i would like to knowww you!!!!! youre really!!!! mmmmm cute!!!!

  • Keep on doing videos like this, it's really useful for someone who doesnt know much about TS. Stay brave and beautiful

  • I think you are an amazing young lady! You have such a sweet personality, and I just wanted to say thanks for having the courage to help educate people. Keep up the good work. And stay strong :-)

  • ... srry. if your able to subtitle your message in dutch, please do so. tnx :-P

  • I'm wondering about how you handle dating. There, I said it. TS isn't one of those thing that brings the guys running to the front door. I mean, how do you handle it. How do you approach someone....take it off the table and just be you and not.....you and your TS? Just wondering.....your pretty.

  • All of this is true. I had fun watching your video. My Tourettes and OCD are both a curse and a gift, but I think more a gift than a curse. Thanks for the video. I'm looking forward to your next videos.

  • wow, i am 17 and i was just recently diagnosed and watching videos like these seem to be really helping me so thanks for being brave enough to pt this out there in the world :)

  • You're beautiful

  • y por cierto eres linda.... by the way you are cute :D

  • que lindo video espero me gusto mucho no tengo TS pero te admiro sigue asi te apoyo chica :D

    Andrew G. Legend

  • You are so brave. I enjoy watching your videos you explain a lot in them. I will keep you in my prayers, and i'm sure very soon there will be something close to a cure.

  • Sarah, You do an amazing job of de-mystifying Tourette's Syndrome. You have an unbelievable inner strength and are an inspiration.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't have tourettes and I dont know anyone who does but you have taught me something. I now I have a little bit better understanding of the human condition as a whole an therefore myself. Because we are all connected so I feel like I just learned something new about myself. I know that sounds weird and I dont even know if I get it myself but Thank You.

  • thank You Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hi, first case is that I'm from Europe, so I' m sorry for language mistakes :( When I saw Your video I dont won't laught I was sorry .. I realy admire You, you're courage to talk about you self on you tube and gives people answers to their questions who they dosent want to do ... I hope You will be video taping your life and helping people with the Tourettes. I see You're playing guitar - I do to - I would like to see You play and sing. Greetings from Europe :) Go girl !!!

  • Keep this up...you are an amazing girl.

  • so you can get rid of tics that you don't like.. so why don't you get rid of all of the tics.. deidcate yoursel to meditation and pray to Jove.. he is Jesus's father ..Our father and mother. .. pray and pray..you wil find healing.. only God can heal your mind and body..

  • @sharpbiz

    Jove? What? What denomination are you?

  • @BassGuitarGuy128 I don't have a denomination.. the truth is non denominational.. even Jesus didn't have a denomination..

    ask Jove for healing.. Jove means I LIVE ... the living GOD of all people.. take care

  • What's happening ? How's it goin ? Where's your 2010 vid ?????

  • It was really nice to watch your video and understand more about the TS. You are a very special person, it's nice of you to be yourself and show it to everybody. You're strong and smart. And a beautiful person too.

  • Just one question : why all the girls who make video on tourette are so pretty ? ;)

  • Sarah, Is there like a certain time to go to the movie theater? Or a certain place?

  • nice =)

  • nice video

  • Just for the record; I approve of people defending me. however, I do NOT approve of people cursing at each other in my defense. Not ok. Kids watch this.

  • @lotsofcurlz36 Sarah, I know alot about Tourette's but I also know nothing. I have several forms of tourette's, and my brother has higher degrees of mine as well as coprolalia. Tourette's SUCKS T_T. and about the pills.  they do nothing. I did develop a tic where every one in a while when i take meds i say "Grabbin Pills"

  • te expreso mi reconocimiento para usar este medio de de manera positiva, y a travez de tus vivencias podamos comprender las caracteristicas del T.S,,, te exhorto a continues con esa actitud ante la vida,,,sigue adelante.

  • Hey! I just wanted to say Great Video. Although I have not been diagnosed with TS (yet), I can relate to a lot of things you said and did. I myself have my own issues, and I know they are very frustrating and tiring, but who's aren't? BTW, you did one of the many things I do that I always thought was a tic. I have a habit of snapping my fingers and then clapping my hands. Thanks for showing that I am not as weird as I thought:)

  • Sarah, you are wonderful and you may have a future in motivational speaking about you and your TS - and speaking to all of those many, many people who have TS & all of the family members who love them. You are going places, sweetie! -Robin

  • @robinbirdslife

    yes she is going to go places. this girl is an amazing being!!!

  • smoke some weed,

  • I think it is interesting, but you just want attention.

  • @Galiento Fuck you, and keep your trap shut if you don't have anything positive to say, faggot.

  • Great video,you're a very mature,young woman.We all probably have some compulsive thoughts or tics we may not even recognize but living consciously with all this built up compulsion within yourself that forces you to tic and you can't help it must definitely be exhausting.That's why your will to enjoy life may truly be encouraging to anybody.There are always ups and downs in life but people like you show us how to stand our ground.Wish you enjoy all the colors of life.Good luck.

  • Edited the video at 6:35 to skip a funny tic. -.-

  • Awesome video! :D I had a friend with Tourette's, but he just had a few facial tics, a few grimaces and a blinking tic. But I find it quite interesting nonetheless. I can get pretty frustrated too since I have Asperger's Syndrome, so I don't really fit in socially, but I'm getting better at it! I know what you mean about medication, for example, I would not take medication for my Asperger's because it is a part of me. And I hope you feel the same about your Tourettes.

    Joe.

  • extra extra random comment: your mouth and way of talking is SOMUCH similar to condombaby's (on YT and gaia, ever heard of her?) xD uhm also you both come across as adorable.

    best wishes

  • Your a very intelligent and beautiful girl. If anything the touretes you have helps people also it sound stupid but I think your bids make it seem that even beautiful people aren't perfect either. But you are very beautiful and intelligent!! I nay not have touretes but thanx anyways

  • Your doing an awsome job. Your strong, intelligent, perceptive and very in sync with your emotions and its an honor to see that truly beautiful people still exist. I wrote something awsome. but I just lost it. I live in LA so dissilusioned with ugly-beautiful idiots. Your the real deal. Keep on growing, in every way possible. F the haters.

  • it`s like a muscle tension build up to a release, and the twitch is the release, it can be quite painful but yet so satisfying at the same time, diagnosed at 8yrs old and now I`m mid 30`s, it`s great to see someone so young being able to deal with it in such a grown up logical way, it sure does make you appreciate the little things in life and realize how much people really do take for granted, I wish you well

  • That was a great video! :)

  • you seem so in-tune with reality!

    how old are you?!--you have the wisdom and maturity of a old philosopher--but the beauty and charm of the teenage cutie that you are!

    (I've seen your other videos too..)

    I would love so much to discuss life with you

  • SpeedVideoz  YOUR A ASSHOLE

  • In "The Stranger Within" documentary about tourette's one segment featured a girl who always would yell out. The doctors once injected a thing called botox directly into her vocal cords to freeze or paralyze them. At the end, they said this method was unsuccessful however. I'm guessing it affected her normal speech or whatever.

  • how did you get rid of your yelling tics?

  • You're a very courageous woman and I wish you best of luck for you're future.

    But please: DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!!!

  • Sara-

    Your courage is so uplifting. For you to make a video like this and to post it on the internet for everyone to see is very courageous of you. This really helps people understand what it's like to have this disorder. You are a very strong girl. Keep it up :]

  • she is cute :)

  • You are awesome. Really.

  • Great video x thank you for sharing

  • for everyone who has tourettes, don't like idiots who make fun of you get you down. My best friends brother has tourettes bad and i can see the emotional abuse people put him through and its just cruel and heartbreaking. Just keep being strong and don't let the low self esteem jerks get you down

  • I love this video.... because it really explains a different view about it....

  • I hate turrets people make fun of me

  • Comment removed

  • When I was little I'd fight my tics by holding a weird position; like wrap my legs around each other, or tuck my arm behind my head.

    The best way I control it now (in my 20's) is by imagining my tics as alive and they feel the same way about this as I do. So if "they" can just keep it together for the few hours I'm at work I can go home and let them twitch and squeak all they want. It's like I'm working with my body instead of fighting it.

    But I don't know I fidget till someone calls me on it.

  • You are a wonderful, strong person and I admire you very much for making this video. I actually got teary watching it. I do not have Tourette Syndrome but I have 7 motor tics, OCD, and my therapist thinks I might have ADD, too (which I don't think I do) But this video gave me a lot of hope because you seem like such a nice and kind person and I know you and I are dealing with similar things. People see me tic and they are like "woah do that again" and it truly breaks my heart. God bless <3

  • You're darling ... so well spoken; your folks must be so proud. Good luck!

  • Great Video........  Your doing grreat.... Chris
