My life as a gamer...with tourettes

Hi my name is dominick but you can call me mango or derp i am an 18 year old gamer that suffers from tourettes. i know what your gonna say is how can you suffer from tourettes well here is how i have a muscle spasm or twitch in my neck,legs,arms,wrists,toes,fingers,eye lids,shoulders etc. but what you don know is how i am affected by this. i have a hard time playing due to this twitch. if im hot i will start twiching badly,if im too cold i will twitch badly, if i see someone move their neck i will start twitching the list goes on. i actually dropped out of school because people made fun of me to the point to where i have a hard time trusting people... if i do trust you you are a lucky lucky person because when i was made fun of they would try to say sorry be my friend and then stab me in the back. i started playing xbox 3-4 years ago meeting new people some of them being cool and some of them i had as a friend for a long time. but i started playing xbox for one reason that no one would know who i am and what condition i have so i dont get picked on virtually i enjoy some of the people on xbox others are just complete ass wholes and you probably know who you are. i have had a wonderful experience on live meeting new people and having fun call of duty was my main game but then i started playing forza 3/4 and started drifting was i a good drifter yes and no i was a monster at drifting when the temperature in my room was right which it wasn't to my liking all the time. but when i have my twitch session i tend to get mad easily i dont really know why. i also played halo 2-4 but stopped at a low rank because i wanted to try something new. i started playing battlefield bad company 2/BF3/BF4 and met my first team on bf3 i enjoyed it alot played countless hours of bf3. then bf4 came out then i was excited but soon stopped playing with my team around the time gta5 came out i started to play it alot clocking 10 days in the first 3-4 weeks the online was released. i know im a no life but you dont have to call me that as i get enough from my mom sister and brother. soon after that i started playing world of tanks meeting someone who will change my life forever a really good friend who has made my friendship pretty cool i will trust him with my life any time and any where.... ok i bet your wondering how i got tourettes well i dont excatly but the thing i do think how i got it was when i was playing in my middle school gym i went in the air after a football and so did one of the other kids well lets say i went down on my tail bone almost breaking it and hit my head to the point where i had lost the feeling in my legs for about 3 minutes. i didnt remember the incident at all until they showed me video from the gym office. after that i started to twitch and now i realize it wont go away. i take a medicine called Risperidone it kinda helps with my twitching but i still have the attacks when i get hot or cold or when i hear someone say the word twitch.i just want people to know that there are gamers out here who became a gamer not by the thought or hey i want to game for a living but forced to try something that will change their life and make it fun i dont live a normal life i should have a car be in college becoming something but i cant drive because of my twitching and i cant stay still in class making it difficult for others to learn. i get looked at weird in public and it really hurts me that some one or anyone has not seen a human before like really you haven't seen a male human. i want people to know that people arent on xbox for fun but for a life a new beginning or the start of a new life/beginning. my tourettes is hard to deal with because it hurts mainly my neck because it is stiff as hell all the time. well that kinda sums up how i start my journey on the xbox 360 for a new life and hope to meet new and cool people.
