Need help...chronic motor tics driving me crazy!

i’m in my 20s and have had what i now know are “chronic motor tics” since i’ve been 7 years old. these tics are characterized as follows: 1) movements that occur again and again and don’t have a rhythm, 2) an overwhelming urge to make the movement, and 3) brief and jerky movements such as blinking, clenching the fists, curling the toes, flaring the nostrils, etc.

so i’d say my tics are pretty mild but can sort of flare up with stress or when i’m tired. anyways, they’ve become very frustrating lately to cope with (the urges to tic have exhausted me and had me in tears at some points) and since i’ve read they affect about 1–2% of the population, i figured i’d ask if anyone else has dealt successfully or otherwise with them.

your insight, much appreciated.

***i should mention also that i went to a neurologist and she prescribed blood pressure medicine (a common first-step treatment for tics) that isn’t working. i’m actually looking, if possible, for any NON-MEDICINAL SOLUTIONS
