So my tics flare up when I'm anxious, scared or frustrated. Usually I slap myself, or my head &amp; neck jerk around, or my arm jerks, or my feet / legs bounce (to a Thumper the bunny level of thumping). 
They had been flaring up a lot recently due to me being frustrated over my stutter coming back, and I was already feeling pretty rubbish about it (pronounce something wrong = slap my leg - stumble on a word = punch my leg, can't get a word out = bye bye arm please meet the couch again, etc). 
But earlier this week it got bad enough that I slapped myself across the face.
That's never happened before. Ever. 
And my mum was there &amp; she was so sad sounding when she asked why I'd slapped myself (she doesn't react to me hitting my thighs or my arms jerking around, though the facial tics &amp; head jerking still freak her out sometimes). But I'd never hit myself in the face before.
My tics slowly died down across the rest of that day.

And haven't came back since.
So.... what gives??? Like I know they come and go, but... did I scare myself into not ticcing or something???
