Greetings,
I am Oktoberly. I am 19 years old and I have Tourette's Syndrome. If you don't know what that is, visit this link

and it will tell you all about it. My mortal boyfriend, T. [for his privacy's sake] has work in the early morning. He is a very light sleeper and unfortunately, my Tourette's manifests itself predominantly in loud vocal tics. And since he has work early in the morning, he couldn't sleep with ear plugs in so he could hear his alarm, meaning he could hear me and so he couldn't sleep. All I can say is FUCK. So he came out into the other room [we don't sleep together due to aforementioned reasons] and was screaming and hollering and punching walls because he is really pissed that he can't sleep, considering he has to get up at 6:30 AM for work. I know he knows that I can't help the noises I make, but regardless, I know he was still mad at me because I am the reason he can't sleep. I feel so bad about it, you have no idea. So, I told him to put his ear plugs in and that I would set MY alarm to wake me up at six thirty so I could wake him up. He didn't want me to because I have a tendency to just ignore my alarm, but I have 2 set and its across the room so I actually have to get up to turn it off. Therefore, causing me to see the calendar event I have set that says WAKE UP T. I know he doesn't mean to be mad at me, and I understand why he is, but at the same time, it really upsets me because I can't help it. Why are you getting mad at me for something I can't help?! I also have severe palilalia [involuntary repetition of words or sentences in talking, and is often associated with Tourette's Syndrome as a complex tic], which gets EXTREMELY frustrating for him sometimes. So its the same thing: I understand why you get mad, but at the same time, I can't fucking help it!
*sigh*
I just hope he gets some sleep. I probably won't sleep until after he leaves for work...
Farewell,
~Oktoberly~

Stay in your own room until he leaves, then you don't have to observe his unreasonable behaviour, after all he choose you to be with..l
