Christmas can do it for me. There’s nothing more depressing than going into a store in early November and seeing Christmas trees all over the place. Bah, Humbug! Derek in TX
Response:
You know, its actually a bit more confusing now that I live in South Florida, I don’t really think that was the case. In fact I love the whole Halloween to Christmas Season, and yet that’s when this happened. I had wondered about S.A.D. at times, but it didn’t appear to have been that. Also, it had started out to be a Particuarly GOOD year for me, so it was a bit odd that when all this happened, thing were going quite well. Better than they had been. I think it was more probably that hormones starting getting the best of me at that point. I had also started taking an inhaler, I vaguely remember, just a bit before that, and the TS does react oddly with medications, even cold meds with me, so I often wonder if that could have been at least partly responsible for the initial major exerbation of the tics.
