I didn't think I did, but realizing that my phone and my new weighted blanket might just qualify  I think it's kind of funny- but I totally didn't care before, but now I love how comforting they are! |

| Sounds like it could be. You need to have had at least 1 vocal and at least 1 or 2 (can't remember which) motor tics for at least one year before the age of 18. No, I'm not sure you have to have 1 vocal tic. I never had vocal tics- I mean a little bit as a kid but basically nothing comparatively al... |

| I developed PTSD due to various events in my past so a LOT lol but I am also thankful as the person I am growing into from the darkness and sharp edges is ten times what I would've been if I had not had such a wilderness to unravel! A lot of colourful memories mixed in with bleak stretches, it just... |

| Ohhh! I did this a lot as a kid- my parents would always yell at me for it. I would be very stressed out and head-bang. Actually the reason I like metal is because... you get to head bang so to speak and it's socially acceptable haha :lol: :lol: I gave myself massive painful headaches from it though... |

When I was a kid my parents were obsessed with it- but friends and other people (in elementary school and then again from HS) people wo... |

| Hey, so... I feel like I didn't really have a problem with ADHD when I was a kid/younger. I was certainly spacey and such, but the work I had- was boring and terrible, and always way below my level. However, ever since I turned 18 the difficulty ratcheted up, and at first I thought that it was- I ju... |

| Unfortunately, I cannot sleep on my back. I snore enough as it is, it is horrible if I am on my back. But, with my weight, leaning into the blanket is like feeling the weighted blanket. I think that when I get a bit of disposable income I will purchase a nice 'body pillow'. http://digital.hammacher... |

I forgot where it was mentioned- but there was a thread that talked about weighted blankets, and had some links, and I clicked and got one I liked, and OMG I am honestly amazed at how comforting it has been for me. Honestly, having a very heavy weighted blanket tha... |
