My Tourettes I have a very debilitating form of Tourettes that makes it virtually impossible for me to leave the house due to the strong taboo attatched to one of my main verbal tic which is to let out a shout of the n word particularly when I get anxious or stressed Due to this being an extremely taboo racial slur I feel unable to risk causing the kind of offense that I would by going out particularly when I could come across black people in daily life Does anyone else have a particularly bad manifestation that makes a social life almost impossible I read about a poor man whose tic was related to child rape even worse than my own probably The problem is that the more taboo a word or phrase is and the earlier you pick it up the more it feeds into the Tourettes I hope there is one day a cure because my life is miserable
