Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition and disability which causes involuntary movements called tics. I use my platforms on social media such as TikTok, YouTube and Instagram to advocate and raise awareness for the condition and show what it is like living with a disability as a teen in school.
My name is Zara Beth (zeezee25 on tiktok) and I post videos about tics, tic disorders and what its like to be a teen living with Tourette's syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and a seizure disorder (NEAD/NES).
I show what its like having tics and Tourettes in class and in school and college, vlog, and I also bake, do other challenges and answer all your questions in Q and A videos.
I am also an ambulatory wheelchair user so I show what life looks like using various mobility aids and how needs change from day to day!
I am also a musician! My newest release is my first single (original song) called "She's Mine" which is now available on all streaming services - I sing and play piano, guitar, ukulele and I write, produce, mix and master all my own songs and content myself!

I hate how people say she’s faking it. It’s very hard for people with conditions like these, nobody seems to get it or understand what we’re going through. My brother is deaf and so I have to be with him to help him translate things, people always say he’s faking it for attention. It breaks my heart to see how people always treat them. 😔

I have epilepsy but have been "sober" of them for about 12 years now. I constantly suffered from tonic-clonic seizures. My heart stopped and I almost died in front of my parents. Seizures are a real thing! No joke about it.❤

I passed out and started shaking on the first day of my psych class, and the professor was super kind about it and even checked on me multiple times after class. Just a reminder that good people are still out there.

As a child of a mom with seizures, ur seizures look very different from my moms! And that’s normal. It depends what causes the siezure usually. My mom has a scar on her brain which causes them and it’s in a emotional part of her brain which makes her cry.
Edit: thanks for all the likes you guys! I dont wanna be that person but this is ALOT!

It's scary reading the comments and realizing people are even offended by disabled people. Are any group safe from the mindless mob of hateful people?

Bless your heart sweetheart, I’m sorry you have to go through this. God bless you and your family.

One of my high-school teachers had a medical condition of some sort that would cause her to have seizures. One of the first classes of hers I was in she used it to educate everyone on seizures and what to do if one happened.

Later in the year one of the students had a seizure and, because she had taught everyone what to do, we were able to help him. She'd seated one of the fastest kids next to the door and he bolted for the nurse while the rest of us moved the tables and chairs out of the way and supported his head and limbs. He was ok😊

I live with a very similar condition and I absolutely HATE fainting or having absence seizures in public. Especially when I’m not with my friends. Mostly because it’s so scary to be alone and unconscious or not conscious enough to be able to act normally, protect myself, etc.
you handled this like a champ! ❤

[wdwerker]

I’m grateful for the knowledge shared. Maybe if everyone was aware of conditions like this people would get support and understanding.

Thank you for showing the signs of what seizures look like. It's scary to finally see what my husband see when I'm seizing but it's good to know. Every job I have applied for recently, I have always mentioned that I am epileptic and the ones that truly care always ask what to do in these situations. Please talk, sweet girl. Which I'm sure you do, but you're never alone. I wish we could be cured, we just have to stay strong through all the bullshit that we go through.

Wow! I never knew this type of seizure existed. My brother has had epilepsy for 14 years and his seizures are violent. He falls to the ground, thrashing about and most of the time becoming sick while still laying on the floor. I had nightmares for a month when I barely heard a noise and saw him in his room tangled up in his headphone wires and hanging by his neck/arm from his desk. It's the only type of seizure I've known about for 14 years. Stay safe!

Had absent seizures when I was younger, they went away right before high school. They’d happen frequently throughout the day, it’s so draining and frustrating, remember to take care of yourself.

[xXNot_HereXx]

Zara no matter what u go through u need to know that there are so many people out there who care about u and other people with tics and stuff. Keep fighting! I love u guys!❤

[oliviawatkins]

This makes me feel so much normal and I feel like I understand my small seizures even more when it comes to twitching ect

[smalltalkgaming]

When I worked as an SEN teaching assistant, the thing that stood out most to me was that if someone has seizures, the seizures can be like a trance rather than a fit. Like seeing glazed over eyes was something I had to think about twice

[rynaecurry]

I got in trouble all thru school for "day dreaming" I'm 59 and was only recently diagnosed. My children would get mad at me bc I'd not answer them right away. It's tough unless the people around you understand.

[clairelocastro]

thank you for showing this, i feel that too many people think that seizing is shaking on the floor and foaming at the mouth when there are so many kinds of seizures. I used to have absence seizures so thank you for being brave to share this 💜💜💜

[Pxpi-]

Omg I didn't even know that there are seizures like this. Thank you for opening up and bringing your experiences to the public ik things like this can be hard ❤

My 6th grade teacher had the kind of seizures where you fall on the ground. He told us on day 1 that if he starts seizing on the ground, to move all the desks away from him go into the hallway and go to the nearest teachers door. If they aren't there to start screaming and run to the office. He didn't have one our year but he did a few years later. He had prepared his class well and they executed the plan perfectly. It's always good to make sure the people you'll be around for an extended amount of time, know what's going on. At least a couple people that way if one of your trusted people is absent, there will still be someone else.

[RebeccaRigby]

What’s so scary is how subtle these seizures can look. Thank you for making videos like these so that I can be more aware of the signs in my friends/work colleagues
