I have an older brother who certainly has #tourettes too, he exhibits many of the same behaviors I do, and my mom did as well. #Comorbidities too, I have SEVERE #adhd and moderate #OCD as well.

We look alike. Talk alike. Superficially act alike. I'm just better looking, fit and half a foot taller.

He is cruel under it, and physical #abuse was constant, and brutal from him.

I always wondered why.

It's #empathy I think.

I only care about others.

He doesn't at all.

I knew something was up. My latest essay discusses obsessive–compulsive personality disorder.

Normality is underrated

I had already prepared my fortnightly article, but a visit to our local town totally changed my direction and at 66 discovered I have a classic case of obsessive–compulsive personality disorder.

Interesting observation about #Melatonin and sensory hyper-responsiveness to #noise, after only a few hours it has reduced my hypersensitivity to noise (when doing the dishes), which I wasn't expecting. For someone trying to make their own comfortable earplugs, this is a pleasant surprise!

"To our knowledge, no studies have yet investigated the effect of melatonin on sensory processing dysfunction. Since melatonin can reduce pain perception, [67] it could possibly improve sensory hyper-responsiveness. Studies in rodents have investigated the relationship between melatonin and pain in conditions such as acute pain, inflammatory pain, and neuropathic pain. [68] Melatonin was shown to have a significant anti-nociceptive effect in all experimental models of pain. [68] Moreover, melatonin has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, reducing pain related to tissue damage. [68]"

Melatonin and Comorbidities in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Melatonin is used to treat sleep difficulties associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There are growing evidence that melatonin could have an effect on other symptoms than sleep, such as anxiety, depression, pain, and gastrointestinal dysfunctions. ...

I think what I hate most about #chronicillness is you don’t get a schedule ahead of time.
You just have to plan things knowing there is a very real possibility that they might not actually happen for you, and any prep or planning you do for anything could so easily end up feeling like a waste.
OR simply pass up opportunities because you can’t afford to risk the time or money or energy.
Either way its like torture tbh

Accidentally walked five miles because I was mad, like #bpd mad, and (ironically) was trying to be healthy about coping, only I don’t have the capacity for that much physical activity, especially when it’s 85° and sunny, so when I got home I threw up and then passed out.
Anyway this was three days ago and I still feel dead. I’d love to recover already but at least it’ll maybe cool down soon🤞🥹
Just a fun comorbidity anecdote nobody asked for
