Tourettes public meltdown shame

[vard7Participant]

I had a full blown Tourettes meltdown in my car last week. It felt like it was public and everyone nearby could see and get an idea about my horrible thoughts, I know that other’s thoughts are not visibIe but sometimes things run through my mind, that I don’t believe in, but it feels ilke other people know they are there. I think its my OCD and Tourettes trying to find anything  to make me react and make a fool of myself. I know they are just thoughts and not visible, really.  I’d  like to try treatment but where to start? That will hopefully help to reduce my anxiety and thoughts
