tic gets worse in the shower or bathroom
i’ve been meaning to post this for a while now, and i thought i would see if anyone has had a similar experience. i have a theory for why this might happen but i’m honestly not sure
i have a tic where i kick my foot back and kick my butt. this tic is super annoying but it comes and goes. however, it always happens when i’m in the shower or even the bathroom. i have accidentally kicked the shower faucet many times, along with the porcelain toilet bowl. this has resulted in loaf of bruising and bleeding. i feel like every time i go to the bathroom or to shower, i become hyper aware of the fact that i have tics and that i could injure myself, and i subconsciously think about all the times i have before. when i’m hyper aware of my tics, they get worse. does this make sense to anyone else?
