my symptoms are: I'm constantly say the letter "E". I don't know why but if i don't it almost hurts. I say it about 200 times a day. I also am always clicking my teeth together. Just like with saying the E, it almost hurts if I don’t. And while i do that, i sometimes twitch but not all the times. In the past hour i've clicked my teeth about 50 times and only 'jumped' about 5. Lastly, I'm always wiping the back of my hand on everything. I can't control it. The back of my hand starts to tingle if I don’t. I’ve been told it’s OCD but the reason I'm still wondering is because I don’t do these weird things because I’m afraid something bad will happen but I do them because I almost have to. It’s like if you have an itch. You can resist for a moment or two but sooner or later you’ll have to scratch it. I can usually hold in saying “E” for about five seconds but everything else I can’t hold it back at all. And it feels like a relief after I do it. But then only a moment later I’ll have to do it again. So do you think this is still OCD or tourette’s? By the way, I also have other symptoms of OCD. I'm 14 years old and this has been happening to me for about a half a year. serious answers only. And if you don't know what tourette's or OCD is, don't answer. Only 10% of people with tourette's curse. And also don't suggest going to the doctors. I'm trying to convince my parents to take me.
