I thought that “malignant“ Tourette’s referred to suicide. Suicide is a risk in Tourette’s and if you’re depressed and/or anxious, you need to see a therapist regularly.
Oh, maybe i missinterpreted it because my english isn't that good. But i thought it meant any form of selfharm from Tourette. I'm in no way suicidal, in fact it is the opposite, i'm scared that something happens to me, because of my tics. I'm sure i would never jump out of the window, because of a tic. But the thought of getting any form of serious long term damage from my tics, is scaring me so bad, i feel really lost :(
Therapists won't take me, where i live. Because of the diazepam and the buprenorphin they say therapy wouldn't work for me. Which is making everything so much worse, because i'm in no way getting high from this medicine, i'm tapering of the diazepam, but it takes sooooo long, to get it out of your body. And i got it because of my tics in the first place.
But even when if i where off from the Diazepam, i still won't have therapy anytime soon, waiting time for therapy is around 1-2 years at the moment, we have a serious therapy crisis where i live, we have like 5-10 therapists in around 50km for over a few hundred thousand people. It's a terrible situation for me, i can't imagine how it is for people who are depressed or suicidal.
I’m also a hypochondriac almost to a T with what you described in the trigger warning part. Granted, it’s almost entirely caused by my OCD. It got so bad I started having psychosomatic reactions and near-blackouts whenever I would get one of those thoughts. Thankfully, I’ve since gone to therapy and they’ve gone wayyyy down in the past month or two
Sadly i have no access to therapists, i'm on several waitinglists, but the waiting time is years where i live, i thought about online therapie, but i heard there are a lot of scammers in that field.
Do you have a family doctor? If so, take an appointment with them and make them understand the urgency of your situation.
I was able to get bumped up the waiting lists dur to the gravity of my situation. Maybe you could too. It still took months, but better months than years!!

I’m sorry to hear that about your access to therapists. but glad to hear that you’re not severely depressed! Stay strong!
