I have mild TS.
As a Kid I had compulsive swallowing.
These days it takes the form of

most of my TS is covertly done.

However, I would say my true home is now found within the Quaker fraternity, simply because politically and theologically I have grown to be ... |

Wishing you well. I like your spirit.
I am a trained therapist, but my
greatest training has been my
suffering and loneliness, which

and compasion. First for myself
and then others.
