I’m hitting my chest very hard at the moment. Earlier, at Leftwing Idiot’s, he’d been holding my hands to stop me doing it, but then he’d needed the loo and was worried I’d hurt myself while he was out of the room.…
I share an office with two colleagues who, on the whole, barely seem to notice my tics. However, today one of them had to move to the room next door because my tics were too distracting. She was totalling a series of numbers and was quietly counting out loud.…
Tonight a new tic emerged and it’s literally “Amazing!”
“Cream crackers are amazing!”
