Don't stress nothing is deadly! Tourettes/tics wax and wane. They can be very severe for a day, week, month, and then start to progressively decrease in severity! One time a couple years ago I had a tic attack that lasted several weeks, and I couldn't go a minute without ticking. However, I'm still here today with them being less severe! They still do come and go, (yes, it's annoying) and currently mine are worsening aswell. I understand the way you feel! But trust me, everything will be fine. Also, please speak to your mother and communicate about it to her, because being diagnosed is better than being left on a cliff and just guessing!
