Tics .... I have them so says my co-worker

[Misssy]

My co worker pointed out that I have a facial tic .... and my room mate concurred

And I dislike facial tics... I feel like it makes me seem like a weirdo with problems.

I can relate when I'm not medicated or under-medicated and really anxious. It used to happen in high school a lot . People noticed. So now I take care of that [BEEP] lol. My muscles tense up really badly, making movement a bit of a struggle. This results in twitching.

I have had temporary tics when nervous, but I don't think that the term nervous fits what I feel like when I have a facial twitch.

I have a facial tic but it has to do with tensing my facial muscles which thankfully isn't super noticeable. The majority of my tics are vocal or located around my arms.

In some cases the head jerking/twitching may be due to simple muscle fatigue, eye strain, stress, anxiety, drug reactions, and even caffeine. In other cases, it could indicate a disease or situation requiring serious attention.

Twitching generally occurs as a result of an overwrought nervous system unloading impulses. It is most common during rest from stress and strain. Facial twitching in adults, accompanied by rather severe facial pain, is the result of a facial neuralgia.

Twitching occurs when a muscle contracts and releases suddenly and involuntarily. Slight twitches are obvious to the person experiencing them, but they are not usually noticeable to others. It is very common for muscles to twitch involuntarily from fatigue after strenuous exercise. Many people experience twitching and jerking of several muscle groups when falling asleep. Twitching eyelid muscles are common.
muscle groups when falling asleep. Twitching eyelid muscles are common.

When twitching is associated with other signs of a nervous system disorder, it can be more serious. In this case, a neurologist can best secure the diagnosis.
