A Tourette Syndrome story

---

I was diagnosed when I was 8 years old. I have had so many challenges in life with my diagnoses including Tourette Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety and Attention Deficit Disorder. My tics were so bad in middle school that it was very frustrating and tiring trying to get all my work done. On top of that, I had very bad anxiety and OCD that led to anger attacks. Medication is very hard to find to help treat all of my diagnoses. Despite all of the rough times I've been through, I wouldn't have it any other way! Tourette syndrome is a gift and makes me the strong person I am today. Even though more work needs to be done in bettering myself, I'm happy with all of the progress that was made with the help of my family and friends!
