I’ve had a great day. It wasn’t exceptional in any grand way, it’s just that I‘ve been quieter and stiller than I’ve been in a long time. I still ticced a lot but my they were noticeably less intense. It reminded me of a day that Greg Story describes in the BBC documentary ‘I swear I can’t help it.’

Four and a half minutes into this video, Greg describes one perfect day when he stopped ticcing, “I screamed once, that was it.” He explains that although he’s never had anything like that since, he thinks of this day when he’s feeling low he tells himself, “One day there will be another day like that.”

Today’s been a surprise gift.
