I had purposely started ticking to release stress from my anxiety (sort of like stimming). However, it became almost involuntary after a few days and now I'm worried I might tick in public and seem like I am faking having tourrettes. I am also irrationally worried that I might not be able to fully control the tics if I don't stop right now.

Does anyone here have any helpful stims they do for their anxiety? I want to slowly transition from the tic to others stims

Disclaimer: I do not have any ticking disorder. I also don't have anxiety ticks as my ticking was voluntary at first.
