"Tourettes Syndrome"

I dont think anybody knew this but i have a mild case of tourettes, instead of consistently blurting out rude words, i just quietly grunt and mumble. Luckily, i only have the problem partly, i would not have it for a couple weeks then start and stop again a month later. I got really annoyed because i thought it was gone, i didnt have it for about 3 months and then it suddenly came back and i started making stupid noises all over again. I went to the doctors a few days back and asked if they knew why it came back, they asked if i have been having any problems lately, and i didnt, so they said have you been getting really angry lately and i thought a while and it suddenly hit me. I bought The Lord Of The Rings : The Return Of The King and played it for a long time on 2-player mode, we got to a level called Plennor Fields and couldnt complete it, i tried and tried and tried but i failed to do it. All of a sudden i violently punched my wardrobe almost breaking a hole in the hollow box. I got the strange feeling in my throat that i had felt many times before (if you have tourettes you will know what im talking about) and started grunting away like a dopey caveman.

The doctor told me i should cut down on the games, screw that i thought, but maybe i should and see if it helps because i definetly dont want it when i am older. I could just imagine trying to pull in a bar and suddenly shouting in her face, and her walking off. I cant stop gaming, but i could definetly do with cutting back on them. I want to know if any of you get frustrated over games sometimes.

hahaha whooopahhh

I usually just throw my controller to the floor and swear at the console (usually my PS2, but it was my 64 back in the day) before turning it off, repeatidly stating that it's "bull****" and "na, na, na, that didn't happen"

I don't take losing very well, despite being used to it.

I had a friend once who punched his PS1 and the lid plopped off.
hehe!

Does anyone get really annoyed and throw their controller on the floor, i do.

I dont think Kurt Cobain actually had it, he just sung about it.

Tourette's? Isn't that when you can't stop swearing, cursing and screaming?

I know that Manchester United 'keeper Tim Howard has it, and I think Kurt Cobain had it as well, seeing that Nirvana recorded a song titled 'Tourette's' which had some very -erm- strange lyrics revolving around the term 'Can you hear me outside?'
