Tourette’s + Kandi (Bored Post)

carousel_albany 2/22/2021 11:18 am 1271

I have Tourette’s. For people who don’t know what Tourette’s is it’s a medical condition that causes me to make loud sounds, have twitches, and say things. These are called tics. I love making Kandi because I really have to focus on my project and it calms the tics momentarily. Does anyone else here have Tourette’s

I don't but I have severe tics in my hands and face and general torso. I also have some nerve damage in one of my hands and I use kandi to try and get better at fine motor. Though I spill beads all the time.

ive been diagnosed and on meds for years!! dont have any extreme tics rn, always mostly been facial or minor twitches. sometimes its super hard to focus on the beads though cuz my eyes keep shutting jdfknsskdf

@xxxinsomniacxxx: yes!!! ive dropped untied bracelets, grabbed the wrong color, and one time even dropped a whole unclosed bead holder. they do often get in the way sad
