Tourettes is something that royally sucks yet you don’t know what to do with out it. I’m sure that makes absolutely no sense but it’s just how it is. let’s be real, I could be ultra upset with my circumstances. Knowing that I do not appear to be one of the people that grows out of Tourette’s by the age of 18. All my tourettes has done is basically get worse. It’s just glorious.
I have the problem of wanting control over certain things, and my Tourette’s is one of them. But guess what? I have virtually no control over it what so ever. How wonderful is that. (Eye roll emoji). But the biggest thing is that I have to keep going and stay strong even when I don’t have control over it, even when it’s hard. I just have to keep going.
Wallowing is self pity is not going to help anyone, let alone myself. All it is going to do is make everything worse. So instead of that, I try to look on the bright side of it. I know that there is a purpose behind it. I know that I would not have been given tourettes unless there was some purpose behind it. Maybe that purpose is helping other. Maybe that purpose is to raise awareness of it and other mental health disorders.
We all have a purpose, we just might not see it yet. We have to live purpose driven lives. Lives that we want to live and know will get us through the hard times. Living purpose driven lives is important because when we live for our purpose, we are generally happier and want to keep going. When we don’t live purposeful lives, it can go downhill and go downhill quick.
Knowing what your purpose is comes in time. Sometimes it takes years for us to know what our purpose is. and does that sometimes suck, yes royally but if we knew what our purpose was from the beginning we wouldn’t have to search for it so it wouldn’t seem as important.
How does this tie into Tourette’s? Well knowing I have a purpose makes me want to keep going and not give up completely when things get hard. Yes sometimes I do give up but I will not give up completely ever again. Our purpose is what should drive us. It should shape us into wonderful people.
I want to raise awareness of mental health disorders or neurological disorders. I want to try and help end the stigma. I want people to know that it is okay to be who you are even if you have a disorder or syndrome. Like that doesn’t matter. You were made the way you are for a purpose. You just have to find it.
