Seriously the girl who has the hat on, her mom was the worst. Her arm was broken and she was shaking it and telling her not to make a fuss. Her mom doesn't deserve her.
I think she said step-mom. But that is still straight up abuse.
Yeah, I love Anita, and a ton of the stories surrounding her stepmom suck.

@@ljbarrowmanlj8542 Sweet Anita
@@ljbarrowmanlj8542 She streams on Twitch, she's a cool dude. She was on a Sidemen video just before the lockdown that was pretty hilarious too. Watching them trying to navigate what she was saying was actually really interesting.
My big sister has tourettes and i seeing the fear when Anita was talking about being near cliffs with friends really hit home because Dea has pushed me down the stairs and punched me and is always so upset, even though we know it isn't her fault. I'm really glad this episode showed a more realistic side to the syndrome, rather than the oddly hyped up version of coprolalia.
I knew a guy who has the "stereotypical" coprolalia, and I also have Tourettes, so when the two of us together is quite the show in public.
You're so understanding! I don't have tourettes and I'm not trying to be rude but The cliff conversation really makes me scared. I know it differs from person to person but Is that happening rare? I know they have no control but it seems really scary to me.
@@prim_manga9885 Not many people have it that bad. The best thing is just to keep the distance, but never bring it up if you're in that scenario. eg, if you're at a cliff don't say "Don't push me" even as a joke, or anything like that in different situations. Or they will. It's an intrusive thought, and they're emotion based. If they get more built up anxiety about it, they are more likely to do it. Just
It’s really hard when you end up hurting people by accident. I’ve ended up punching my sister and kicking my dad and I always feel so, so bad about it
I always thought that ill people that could potentially hurt others are in an institution? Especially if it could result in death?
The more I hear about Sweet Anita’s background, the angrier I get. This woman has faced SO much abuse. I’m so happy she’s in a better situation.
to add to her challenging past, she actually had a banana tick that people literally used on purpose. She actually choked up blood once because she couldn't stop
Oh yeah the banana tic, I remember watching one of her streams once and everyone in chat just spammed the word banana and she chocked up blood and almost cried
@@blizzard_potato1225 may I ask did she say banana or like?? Because I haven’t watched her streams
@@guest00108 she would say in a really high pitched voice "Ba-NYANYA, I love baNYANYA!" and it would distort her throat so much that it would cause her to bleed 😢
@@dianeaishamonday9125 oh noo :(
I really like when Anita said "I'm not defined by the fact that I'm facing it, I'm defined by how I handle it".

@@AckYes correct, because repetition is the best way to remember something. that's why the catchiest part of a song is (typically) the chorus, that's why masters of martial arts train for their whole lives, and that's why book writers will refer to an important detail multiple times over the course of a book. humans are _literally_ built to learn from repetition.
Tourette’s here. Some of us say the n word more than is generally acceptable. At least we don’t mean it!
I feel so bad for anita. Getting your broken arm shook by your parents to check if it's broken. It's absolutely sickening.
Yeah, I feel so bad. It even made a crunch sound and she couldnt show that shes hurt because shes gonna be scolded. They also threatened to take her tea (i think that means food and stuff). Its disgusting how parents like these exists. And so what if shes attention seeking, first of all, you cant assume that. And second, if she is, that means you arent giving her the attention she needs.
@Megan Houghton oh thank you! That makes sense.
And then getting fucking nagged at whilst not being able to be express your pain of a broken arm, expecting to be quiet. What the fuck. That pisses me off.
It is sooo disgusting who in their right mind would do that to someone
@@sleeppyy3221 yea and because she had the n word tic she couldn't even call her dad cuz he was black and she was scared that she was gonna say it. I feel so bad for her.
Imagine anyone who has ever been “possessed” rly just has tics

"Does Tourette's interefere with relationships?" As a person with Tourette Syndrome, ABSOLUTELY. I hade a girlfriend who had Tourette's as well and we could never spend any time with each other because we would always set each other off. She was a great partner.
I relate to that me and my boyfriend both have tourettes and we can hardly ever be together
I was diagnosed with tourettes when i was really young. The way they described the feeling of having a tic is spot on. I have a tic where i shake my hand or head. Its like a tingly feeling in my chest that wont stop until i do it. The longer i dont the stronger the feeling gets
I get feelings like that in different parts of my body where its almost painful to not move. I dont think it's tourettes in my case though. Its like the explanation on restless legs, but I get it in different spots sometimes but mainly my legs. I twitch my knee muscles in and have to kinda pull other muscles.
@@sarahdalley2614 I get that in my legs and my hands too
@@sarahdalley2614 total long shot, but have you ever tried magnesium supplements?
i feel this a lot, but i believe it's due to autism. i'll turn my head like i look like i'm trying to crack my neck, twitch and jerk my fingers, and click my mouth. but they're not exactly involuntary so i don't believe it's the same thing. i did feel the description of the urge as feeling like you have to cough though
“your child is a TANK” she really is though,,, she got bullied and she was misunderstood but she is SOOO nice, if you watch her streams
I liked her! Those tics, very entertaining. What i like, is that you don't have to view other peoples' tics as annoying or something to make them aware of. They are funny, and brings a lighter moment where you can just laugh along with them rather than of them! Make tics something you all can bond over, and think positively of! Her tics made me laugh and feel kinda happy. They were entertaining! Positive. To be honest, i have never before this video seen a tic and actually thought it positive like this, and just enjoy what i saw. Im glad. ----------------------- I myself have Tourettes, and two particular tics appeared and became kinda more frequent as most of the video went on. My left eye gets sorta irritated, and i tend to roll my eyes, mostly pick/rub on that part of the eye to try lessen the reactions i have there. As well as a sound i make with my throat, but not my throat clearing tic, just some sort of a vocal tic. So i have a history with Tourettes, and hope this video will be very helpful for me! It was very nice to watch.
i dont watch her streams but she seems very kind and nice to be around
What is a tank?
QueenOfClowns ASMR it just means she’s very tough
Actually people that have had hardship and been treated badly by others are exactly the same people that tend to become extra nice and not wine as much.

Anita saying that seeing tics can trigger your own helped me realize why my small physical tics happen more often while I’m watching certain things.
Let’s just hope Trisha wont trash this disorder too
Omg the shadeee I love it lol
I was ur 300th like
I would fall the fuck over
I know who she is but I don't get the joke
Ties Doze Trisha said once in a video she had DID (dissociative identity disorder) but she self diagnosed herself and now no one believes her
My dads friend has tourettes and he has a random screaming tick and he was at his mothers funeral and had to leave bc he was so stressed he was screaming the entire funeral it was really sad to see
Poor man. :,(
My son has a tic that sounds like screeching. Everyone we know personally is aware of it though so I'm pretty sure even if it were a funeral it wouldn't get to anyone. They'd all know and understand. I realize this is NOT the case for every family though and definitely not the case for every person with TS. I'm sorry he had to leave. Poor guy.
🥺
I have a licking tick, on my mouth, and a weird vocal buzzing tic
: (
Oh my god. I have ADHD, and I’ve had Tourette’s for about 15 years and it’s only ever been more minor things like blinking/eye rolls, little chirping sounds, that sort of thing. I was feeling these different physical sensations that I had to try and get rid of or I couldn’t focus on anything else, like an itch needing to be scratched really, really badly. But it was never super disruptive to my life, more just embarrassing growing up because it took a while before I developed ones that were easier to hide or do quietly. A couple of months ago the twitching and shifting got really bad. It became so unbearable that I could. Not. Sleep. Like when Samuel was talking about how distressed he felt as a kid when he couldn’t make himself stop? A few months back it got so bad that I felt like I was losing my mind every night. I would put my phone away to try and sleep but then my brain had nothing else to focus on and it was like my body was on fire with how many sensations I was suddenly experiencing. I was hypersensitive to every wrinkle in my sheets, to how a toe felt, to the way my ear lay on my pillow. There were a few nights that I literally cried myself to sleep because I was so sleep deprived and mentally exhausted. I was finally prescribed some medication to help the racing thoughts at night but if I don’t remember to take them early enough (curse you ADHD) then it becomes extremely difficult again. Very much a “don’t think about pink elephants” sort of situation where the harder I fight it the worse it gets. Also idk if this is a normal Tourette’s thing but similar to Anita talking about how her tics don’t really happen if she’s distracted mine flair up SUPER badly if they’re pointed out or discussed. Watching this video was really helpful mentally, but holy shit I felt like my body was going berserk Anyway, wow. Just kind of shouting this out to the void lol
I'm so sorry you had to go through that, wishing you the best in life!
Same though, I loved watching this but damn my tics were not having a good time lol. Also yeah if anyone even asks like “hey what’re you doing” my tics just flare up for some reason. It doesn’t sound as bad as yours does when people mention it but it does suck
Just because I deal with it 24/7, doing a video on living with ADHD would be amazing. It’s crazy how many people misconstrue what it is. These people are amazing!
He did it. It's uploaded
SHE SHOOK HER BROKEN ARM MY GOD!!
I was furious when I watched that part. I had no idea actual stepmothers could be THAT terrible wth
I was so angry when I heard that!
I was really angry with that women, I mean, at what point do you decide that it is a good idea to CRUNCH THE BROKEN ARM OF A LITTLE GIRL?! Fuck, just keep that woman away from childrens and teenagers for the rest of her life.
That broke my heart....
Yea like omg even if you think the kid is faking you don’t just shake their arm first
I was hospitalized at a psych ward with a girl with Tourettes and one of her tics was smacking stuff. My favorite memory of the place is probably when I was peacefully eating lunch in the cafeteria and she sat next to me, then smacked me on the arm with a banana. Me, being confused af, just looked at her and maybe that embarrassed her or something because she suddenly yelled "PEANUT BUTTER"
not be rude or bring you bad memories but why were you at a psych ward
@@Jonathonlucero i will not say the n word
@@Jonathonlucero danger to self, I had thoughts of self-harm and nearly acted on them. I'm okay now though
Imagine being smacked with a banana and hearing "PEANUT BUTTER"
@@andro1096 glad your good now
I would enjoy an "I spent a day with people with auditory hallucinations" video. I feel it would be an informative video, since I was recently diagnosed with auditory hallucinations. They suck - hearing disembodied things where you can't find the source makes you paranoid and checking your surroundings. Interestingly enough, auditory hallucinations don't have to be related to schizophrenia. PTSD, depression, and anxiety (which I also have, mind you) can also play a factor. I remember they started out of the blue and I was scared - December 17, 2021. Been dealing with them ever since, even with my new medicine.
Hi friend. I also have a hallucinatory disorder (HPPD) and experience visual hallucinations 24/7 with occasional auditory hallucinations. I’ve lived with it for 5 years (it was drug induced back in May 2017) and understand what it feels like. If you need someone to talk to that knows what you’re going through I’m more than happy to share what’s helped me. Cheers :)
I would also like to see a video of that or just hallucinations in general because I've also struggle with hallucinations litterly at least one for every 5 senses
May I ask what drug induced this? I have a couple of guesses but I'm curious to which it actually was..
I don't have auditory hallucinations, but sometimes I hear random humming/ticking/murmuring and it's horrible, it's so disorienting, I can't imagine what its like when they are louder and more consistent.
"I'm not defined by the things I didn't choose about myself. I'm defined by how I choose to handle my challenges." Simple but encouraging quote, especially given the severity of the speaker's condition. At times I have been tempted to reduce everything about how I interact with people based on some of my peculiarities, but this quote has stuck with me and helped me to grow outside the box I I was putting myself in. Thanks.
Anita's background stories seriously hurt my heart. Being beaten to unconsciousness and abused. 26 years without a diagnosis. That's so awful.
Lol
Yeah and her mom took her tea away
@@typicalpro832 oh wow you're gross
Typical Pro yikes
The past can be horrible but you're amazing and have done something incredible being so open about it and letting others know and she's so brave to be able to say about it
I have a tic where I shout "Butterfly". There was this one time when I ticked and there was an actual butterfly near me and there was this little boy that heard me and said, "It looked more like a dragonfly to me". It made my day :)
That's so cute
aww this is wholesome
Aww
That's cuteee^^
How adorable
Very validating. My breathing tics are so bad that I went to the hospital just so they could put me to sleep to give my body a break. I begged for sleep. My daily tics are annoying and I get made fun of by people in school. Just today people were airdropping pictures to me and trying to bother me and I wanted to just sink into the floor at that moment. The physiological effects this part of my life has had in me has been severe, and I also have imposter syndrome so when my tics are less bad I’m thinking, “There’s no way I have it, I’m being dramatic and I’m just a lazy slacker”. When they are bad any doubt in my mind is silenced but it is a constant struggle and the road to even get my own parents to believe me has been rough. I had to fight to go to the doctor to get it checked out bc my parents were really against it but now many situations in my past have been validated and I can live my life better, at least on the social end, the tics are still annoying and painful AF
I am so so sorry. That teasing and bullying sounds terrible on top of the medical things.. I have autism spectrum disorder and I have been plenty bullied for the way I am. It is a terrible feeling, but at least we allies got eachothers backs 🫡
Don't worry butterfly, one day we will come out of European Western made up civilization and we can get back to reality that God created our bodies and minds to be so diverse. We literally have natural electricity that comes from the universe and runs through our bodies just to keep us alive, so sometimes it causes malfunctions within the neurological system and we get gifts like you. 😍🙏🏾
Omg Sweet Anita is literally a sweetheart. The injustice she faced - getting beaten up, evil step mom. And that thing about the cliff is absolutely terrifying
It’s so adorable how they had her on a tv but still set her up in a chair
Her channel is a lot of fun
Yeah she was cute!
where else would she sit?
Im ur 1k like
Saku thanks bb💗👌🏽
How the one girl was treated as a kid, how she was yelled at and told off for it and basically abused explains more clearly why she always feels obligated to apologise, even though she doesn't have to.
anita's pretty sweet. check out her twitch highlights channel xD
I’m sure a lot of people will disagree with this, but I don’t really see it as a bad thing that she apologizes for her tics. I understand that she can’t control it, but like she said, she’s just expressing that she isn’t trying to interrupt or be rude.
@@moonshot9056 im american but i do this a lot haha
I have severe Tourette syndrome and I’m so happy that there is more representation out there coming out 🙏🏻 I’ve been severely harassed for my Tourettes and we need more knowledge about this syndrome
Since we're all sharing here, I also have Tourettes. At one point in my life I was working for a family business under the promise that i would get an apprenticeship for hvac. I was onsite cutting pipe on one side of a large warehouse, while a coworker was working on the opposite side I don't know how he could hear me but apparently my tics set him off because he stormed all the way across the warehouse while i was running the pipe threader (very loud machine) and he proceeded to yell at me for making the annoying noises and for obsessively clearing my throat and blowing my nose among other things. I didn't feel like going into a huge explanation for why i do the things i do because we were both on the clock my lack of an explanation ended up with me being taken aside by a supervisor who asked me to go somewhere else to do what i was doing so as not to annoy coworker. Anyway i'm used to these types of incidents I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but it ended up being used in a power play by a rival supervisor who was nearby who tried to reframe the incident as me being punished by the other supervisor. So I was hauled into the office with the owner, and supervisor 1 and 2 who argued amongst themselves about how i was treated on the worksite all for the purpose of getting supervisor 1 fired or disciplined or something. The owner knew I had Tourettes previously, so the question ended up being, did supervisor 1 harass you for having this problem, and I said no he was just trying to find a compromise it was "coworker" who was harassing me. I didn't like that I was being played like a political pawn It wasn't long after that I was laid off because of low work, and I was genuinely glad that I was.
the doctor that said “you can tell your bullies you have tourette’s” vs the doctor that said “i won’t diagnose you so you don’t get bullied” FIGHT
They're both stupid. Lol it might be a tie.
there the same person lol
second one is worse
the doctor has the duty to diagnose to help the patient, not doing so is worse... it is up to all of us to remove bullies by overcoming stereotypes :)

Even better if they say: And take mine too Lmaoooooo
I'm really glad that my introduction to Tourette's was the movie "Front of the Class" and not something offensive or inaccurate. It was pretty educational actually and I learned a lot when I watched it. Thank you for making this video because it might be the first time someone is exposed to Tourette's (or the first time it isn't used as a joke).
I loved Samuel when he was in AGT XD But Emberly's experience about the doctor not wanting to diagnose her is something I can relate to. My mom could also tell that I had ADHD when I was a kid, she had it too and she'd studied neurodivergence. But she didn't take me to a doctor 'cos she didn't want me to feel different and get bullied. Que over 10 years of bullying and extremely low self-esteem because I thought I was just lazy and useless and didn't know why I couldn't concentrate.
I hate parents who treat their kids like Anita's did. It's hurts my heart. I was a victim myself of abuse and this experience still hurts even as I get into my older part of life.
I can’t believe her father let this woman further break her arm, AND intimidate her into lying about her pain level.
it sounded so much like my dads ex girlfriend🙄 she would always make my dad be against me and my siblings
Her aunt is the type of person who hasn’t matured and grown up since the age of three.

The first mention of the Tourettes being in the Malleus Maleficarum is A) Fascinating and B) Deeply worrying. It's a witch hunters manual that goes into deep graphic detail in torture and interrogation. Trigger warnings galore but a very interesting read for a glimpse of how dark history can get.
4:26 “I don’t see my tourets as my condition, I see it as my challenge. Everyone has challenges. And I’m not defined by the fact that I’m facing it, I’m defined by how I handle it.” Wise words. Hit me hard.
"I dont see my tourettes as who I am, I see it as my challenge. Everyone get's challenges, and I'm not defined by the fact that I'm facing it, I'm defined by how I handle it" damn i felt that

@@gas8257 yep, because you calling me an asshole is so nice! But, I wouldn’t expect someone like you to take your own advice. And that’s mostly because of your “hero” attitude.

And that stems from you being a Narcissistic person, because you can’t get your attention. So I would at least try to be a little less hypocritical.

It’s not something you can control and she just unfortunately has a lot of tics that cause her to say curse words or “be mean/rude.” She is so so sweet. It has to be very frustrating at times since it clearly makes her life difficult, but she IS so amazingly strong!
She is a streamer and KZheadr named SweetAnita EDIT: I’m talking about the one with the Koala hat thing.
She has a twitch @sweetanita
Just found out about this channel, i'm glad you are doing your own thing after smosh. Content is terrific.
wow the line from Anita about not being defined by what you didn't choose but by how you choose to handle your given struggle, that hit hard!
“I spent a day with people who have schizophrenia” we don’t get much support anywhere and we need to change it so people aren’t so afraid of us
Wasnt there one already?
My teacher has taught our class about schizophrenia. She’s really helped us understand it! ❤️
Completely agree with the stigmatism. I have worked with many schizophrenic and schizoaffective patients. They are genuinely so misunderstood and feared for NO reason.
Your Own Mom no not yet
veggietales fan 3382 preach to that teacher!
I felt so bad for Anita whenever the N word became one of her Ticks
Yeah twitch is hella toxic. The fact people would go out of their way to MAKE HER say it. I remember seeing the clip to. People just kept spamming “SAY THE N-WORD” and since she kept seeing it, the word just filled up in her mind. Her Mods weren’t even removing the people who spammed it either 😒. I’m glad a Black streamer with Tourette’s came to her defence when it happened. Like imagine bullying someone with a disorder, there’s a special place in hell for those people.
Mikan Baldmiki I know she did not deserve any of the backlash she got! At least the people who work for twitch were understanding and didn’t try to ban her from twitch or something along those lines.
IKR people have to understand what Tourette’s syndrome actually feels like.
thats one of my worst fears
@@cammyblammywammy2903 When she said that her dad is black and she started getting really upset about him seeing her ticing that, was so fucking heartbreaking that people really want her to hate herself like that.
Anita seems so sweet and expresses herself so well. Her voice is super calming. I’m so sorry for the traumatic shit and bullying she’s been through, despite that, she seems like a wonderful person. I don’t watch streams but I might watch hers lol
im diagnosed with tics, thank you for covering this topic so respectfully and spreading awareness! great job anthony!
when she talked about getting beaten into unconsciousness i started crying thats so terrible and i cant believe people would do that its so wrong
Jeez you're sensitive lmao
@@anasaziz9649 uhhhh?
That made me upset and angry
@@anasaziz9649 why would you make fun of someone who is simply sad a child got beaten up? Chill lol
@@anasaziz9649 Well hope someone beats you into unconsciousness...... That's just how bullies are though because even being Autistic I got beaten as a kid from bullies and family.
why is no one talking about how she said "kill the jews" and the n-word. imagine how she must've felt, the amount of guilt
she has other tics that are like video game character's lines, she just mimicks them after being exposed to them and it becomes a tic. so many people instigated her, harassed her to say those things. they exploited someone with a neurological disorder for their own amusement. she was so incredibly distressed that she wasn't even able to call her dad back. he's black and she was terrified that her tic was gonna hurt him, even though she is half-black herself. imagine that plus all of the abuse from her mother figure, people from school. all of it she had to carry on her back for all these years. i don't understand people that criticize her without looking at the full picture. just give the poor girl a break. she's funny, talented, entertaining, she's so much more than her disorder.
@@gentlefires Poor girl. she doesnt deserve any of this.
Fr I would have felt so bad
@@gentlefires true :(
@@gentlefires it breaks my heart... & on top of everything u said, she is so incredibly kind and doesn't hold grudges. she deserves a lot better
“Everyone gets challenges, and I am not defined by the fact I am facing it, but how I handle it” that is such an incredible and powerful statement. I am going to start repeating this to myself every morning
I don’t have Tourette’s but I do have adhd which sometimes causes tics, and this video made me feel so much better about myself. Keep the vids coming they’re so helpful!
i feel bad for anita because ik she didn’t ever mean to say the n word.
The thing that makes it even more silly is that they will cancel her but not all the people that have said it on purpose
@@ria9914 You spelt my name wrong
What about “kill the Jews” 🤨 she must feel equally as bad
She's also half black i believe...
@@jessicaciani4855 yeah, her dad is black, she mentioned that she was scared to call her dad during Christmas in case she had her n-word tic
kid with tourette's syndrome: i have tourette's the bully: *understandable have a great day*
not really , my class clown mate sometimes sarcasm w/ my TS but then i improve myself to less these Tics and it finally work.
ksjiak
@@Zach_Keith it was a joke, but I'm sorry you had to go through that
If only
Imagine a beautiful world like that where people are ✨UNDERSTANDING✨
I love how respectful he is. Whenever they curse or anything he ignores it so they dont feel disrespectful
I know two people who experience a disorder called ‘functional neurological disorder’ and a symptom of this is tics and people always yell about them ‘faking Tourettes’ and almost everyone assumes that they have Tourettes which they find really frustrating.
Sweet Anita is seriously the best, sadly, she's being threatened once more by a stalker who's been at it for months. He even violated her restraining order against him and the uk police are basically blaming her for being a streamer instead of offering her proper protection. He already assaulted her and it looks like they're waiting for a second assault to act on it. Disgusting.
What's up with police not doing their jobs? I get that it can get annoying sometimes but why did they take on that job in the first place if they weren't up to the task.
@@Martin-yh7vi this is actually one of the big reasons behind the American riots right now, A black man was found hanging in a noose in manhattan park so they immediately ruled it a suicide even though there was little evidence for it being suicide and substantial evidence for it being murder, here's an article about it. nypost.com/2020/06/16/death-of-black-man-found-hanging-in-nyc-park-ruled-a-suicide/
Well what are the police supposed to do? Devote an entire division just for some streamer? You putting yourself on a public spotlight is not helping either.
It's her job though?
@@camposjesus3725 the fact that they are waiting for the second assault and not acting on the first assault is what's disgusting.
"I didn't have an N-word tic until I started streaming" God that both makes so much sense and is so depressing a the same time.
yes, people were spamming Anita's chat during one of her streams with the n word in order to try and trigger her to say it
@@emmalucas5307 and one time they were spamming another trigger word that makes her say a thing over and over again (banana, it isn’t a tic anymore) and since she has an autoimmune disease, her vocal cords started BLEEDING. Because she said it so much. Honestly, I don’t think the people who do that deserve the title “fan.”
I have turrets I don't swear but people don't know how hard it is I don go out side I get bulled all the time and it's hard to explain to people
I thought "streaming" was "screaming" bc the words look alike so I was very confused for a sec
@Timber Wolfy she does have mods but she consistently gets over 1000 viewers so it's like impossible to moderate :( and banning the word banana wouldn't have helped bc what if someone doesn't know that's a tic and it comes up naturally?
My parents and I believe that I have a mild form of Tourette Syndrome. It was nice to hear people talk about what it feels like and I was able to compare. Great video Anthony!
I love this girl Anita! Even going through a lot, she has such a positive aspect of life and her situation! automatically a fan of her now!
I feel so bad for how the British girl was treated as a child while she was undiagnosed. I can’t imagine how scary it was to not understand why things are happening, and getting in trouble and even beaten up for them.
She told in one of her streams that the first time she went to the doctor to get some sort of diagnosis, they started to ask questions that were gearing towards to esquizofrenia and she didn't have it, so they just said that it was attention seeking and she had to live with that for so long Edit: she also said that she got super isolated and went through depression and 4 therapists, and only the last one actually managed to help her, I've seen the video about it and it's personally beautiful how she puts it
British girl...
Really? British girl
UNCLE BOb I’m sorry I forgot her name? Is calling someone British offensive or something? Jesus.
@@redachaaban1286 get a grip
trish paytas in 3 hours: IM COMING OUT AS SOMEONE WITH TOURETTES
HAHAHAHA
i wouldn't be surprised. Honestly I'd be surprised if she doesn't make a video about tourettes
and she starts screaming random shit randomly and after 1 week of doing it she's gonna upload "i have tourette's syndrome"
i cant believe she hasn't been cancelled for the DID thing
I can genuinely see her doing this as a way to excuse her foul language.
I feel so bad for those poor people having a condition like this but so proud of them for pushing through! Absolutely fantastic people there.
Thank you for educating me more on tourette's. Great interviews, strong people to survive and live with this thing . I have known many in my life but nobody close , this has helped me learn more about this condition .
HONESTLY as a person with Tourette’s I clicked on this video already rolling my eyes expecting to see three people screaming obscenities but was pleasantly surprised to see the average person with Tourette’s. The super aggressive forms of Tourette’s is what I think people mostly think of and these three interviewees were a perfect example of what we’re like. Thanks Anthony!!
yes! when I was a kid, that’s all I’d ever seen of TS. I thought I didn’t properly have it because I didn’t curse all the time
My dad has it and didn’t know what it was far until he was in college bc he just has muscle spasms in his arms and twitches his head, but since it was physical and they had only heard of it being verbal and over the top he had no clue
My sister actually has pretty bad Tourettes (I have minor Tourettes). I actually wanted to see if I could find someone who would be similar to her in which maybe she could gain some inspiration, learn from, or relate to. Because she really struggles to gain an understanding of herself to others, and even I can't help, because mine are so different to hers. But I do agree, the video was very pleasant and I was happy to find that there were so many normal people just living their best life with Tourettes. I'm sharing the video and hopefully she won't feel so restricted within the world.
It's too bad Ethan from H3H3 doesn't talk about his Tourette's more, his is so mild probably a lot of people wouldn't even clock it
Anthony is great at being thorough and genuine with this series! Shining an optimistic and realistic light on all these topics. It's very lovely.
I can't decide which story was better "You look like a guy who just lost and spit on me." or "I have a bomb."
I think the former
I think the latter
It’s all
"I'll smack things out of their hands, and if they bend down I will spank them."
The Tetris story wins 😂
I just love your content Anthony. I've been listening to your interviews so much lately!
As a person that tics, I really appreciated this video. Anita for sure needs more love and support because of her past, I feel like getting mad at someone because of involuntary movements (or just something they can't control in general), is harsher than it can even be described. We should definitely try and recognize people like this more often.
*"you don't look like a guy with touretts, you look like a guy who lost and spat at me."*
I couldnt stop laughing
Next Trisha Paytas video title "I have tourettes"
Why? I mean that seems like a pretty Trish thing to do but I'm real behind on the Trish gossip 😂
Hahaha I love this 😂❤️
@@mars7612 - She does that with pretty much every marginalized group or condition that gains a bit of awareness. Recent examples include her coming out as a transgender man, and as someone who suffers from dissociative identity disorder.
She already did this
Hi my name's davy can i have a link to the vid?
This was a great overview of the condition and giving a voice to people who have it. I don't have TS but I have dystonia, which is a neuromuscular disease, so half my body moves on its own, which is kind of similar. And it's the same feeling. You don't understand unless you've felt it.
As a person with Tourette’s, I appreciate this video. It brings a lot more awareness.
I feel so sorry for Anita, abusive parents, no diagnosis for 26 years, getting beat up to the point of unconsciousness and people trying to cancel her for something she literally can't control. She's a very strong person
I wonder if these are the cause for that she has tics more often. I mean, it looks like a pattern. Poor sweet girl :c
@@alexaczigany9470 You are right people need to understand that mistakes happens and it not even her fault
She’s amazing to be honest
@@alexaczigany9470 I mean in a way as as Anita has stated stress can cause tics to be more aggressive.
Plus stalkers
the fact that people are so sick that they CHOOSE to trigger people’s tics it is so annoying it’s terrible because it can’t hurt someone really badly
@Sydney Primeau I feel bad for you
Ya ONLY ONLY ONLY time I let someone trigger my tics is if they're my friend and I ABSOLUTELY NEED IT like I have tics where I can't "satisfy" and my friend triggering another tic helps
Yeah, it's really cruel. Some tics are even dangerous and painful. One of my alters has tourettes and he has a tic where he kinda snaps his head to the side really fast and sometimes he has to hold his head in between his hands or legs because he's hurting his neck so bad. It's so mean and embarrassing for someone to trigger someone's tics without their permission
I had that at summer camp this year, i was okay with most of them, but one of my best friends accidentaly caused me to first hate bees, then shout "fuck the bees" then say "hey a bee" and clap my hands, to eventually threatening almost everyone there that I was going to murder them and their families. So sometimes it was ment as nothing bad but tics like that happen. With a lot of my friends I'm pretty okay with it but definitly ask the person about it
A friend of mine has tourettes and if you cough he would cough along no matter what. I never thought of playing around with that, never... but a guy we know while he was talking to him started coughing just to see for how long it would have worked. I mean, testing it once or twice may be okay but exploiting it is just disgusting
You are all amazing! Anita my goodness love your attitude and you are an incredible person with great insight...you have been through soo much and persevered through it all !!!
sweet anita. what an amazing thing to say, this should be a quote in one of those inspirational quote books.. "i see it as my challenge, everybody has their challenges. and im not defined by the fact i facing it, im defined by how i handle it". i was so saddened to hear of how she was treated as a child too. shes a treasure. may the LORD bless you all
My boyfriend of 2 years has Tourettes! He makes little grunts and sometimes he blinks rlly hard and shakes his head when he gets really excited about something, especially if he's eating a food he really likes. I think it's adorable and it's just one of the many things that I love so much about him :)
That's so adorable omg
Thats so sweet omg :D
WHOLESOME
thats so cute oml🥺
youre doing gods work loving him so much
More than anything else, this episode confirmed three things for me: 1) Anita is a wonderful person 2) Some people shouldn't be allowed to even be near children 3) I hate humanity as a whole
Shadow the edgehog
4-Hate those who make humanity shit, Not everyone is bad and god has every reason to beat the fuck outta all humans, What have humans even done yo not anger god? They've done most of the shitty stuff ever and they won't stop. I just hope that god doesn't destroy us humans in the future
@@jod5026 yeah. went a bit overboard with the last one xD
All of it but especially 3. Human beings suuuuck ^^
You just realised?
She's such an inspiration and she gives me hope. She makes me want to get up and try to tackle life again 🌈🦄❤️
“Has your tics ever interfered with any serious situations” My mom was crying once about money (we live in a shitty small town and money isn’t always good) and I have a smiling/winking/nose twitching/cheek twitching tic… so basically think the “omg he’s dead! NO” turbo clip.
my cousin has tourette syndrome and a lot of kids at school stay away from him and it has a big impact on him, please don't be one of those people. treat everyone equally.
Yes
I hope he's doing okay love 😔
I'm so sorry that he has to face such horrible things because of the horrible people he's surrounded by. Much love and power to you ♥️
1k like :)
I feel like I'd be scared too if I didn't know what it is. Some Tourette curse, and it's loud, so it would very awkward. But yeah, it's also important to be respectful and tolerate differences, we're not the only one living this world nor does it revolves around us. I feel like Tourette is the most common syndrome that doesn't talk about often enough. We need to educate children about it. I only learned about Tourette as an adult by my own. And that's not something I'm proud about.
People need to realize that when Anita starts saying bad stuff in her tics she tries mute her mic and you can tell she doesn’t wanna say those things.
Yeah like that one time where she quickly muted her mic because she was saying her password as a tic, she also covered her mouth so you couldn’t see what she was saying. It’s crazy to think how quick she did it meaning it might of happened before
@@summere22 Yeah, that would be scary
well she doesn't have to go online, its like giving a guy the free pass when he drives over people just because he blind.
@@mr.mysteriousyt6118 that's such a bad comparison, what? streaming is literally her job, are you telling me she should quit her job just because she suffers from tourettes?
@@mr.mysteriousyt6118 Bro stop spamming this message on any video with Anita in it, it's such a terrible comparison.
MUSIC! I'm so glad she mentioned that music helps settle tics down - my son is a drummer now and has to have his drumsticks with him all the time, so he can drum on his knees. He also sometimes sits with his guitar when he's watching tv to help them. It's so miserable when you get anxious/nervous/stressed - he has a pinky toe tic that makes his pinky so sore when it's bad, and a few others like that.. Heartbreaking to watch your child go through that.
