I have a problem with my hands. I feel like if I don't do something, like touch or have something done to me twice (that came out wrong, but you know what I mean), that i will get terrible luck, like my house will burn down, or my pets will die, and i have the genetics to get breast cancer, bcuz my mom died of it, and my mom's mom died of it, and i feel like if i don't do something twice, i will die when im forty of breast cancer, you know what i mean?
I try not to do it anymore, but i get this uncomfortable feeling when i do, and i end up just HAVING to do it, and when i finally relax, idk how it happens, but my hands twitch and i need to move my wrists around, & the twitching isn't against my will, I just sort of do it deliriously.
Is it something like terets syndrome (however you spell it), like when you get tiks and you can't control it, or is it something else like something wrong with my brain?

I can sometimes control it. I don't know if its OCD or something. If it is, im really embarrased about it, and i don't know about treatments, or how much it would cost, bcuz my family can't exactly afford a lot of things right now. I can tap my keyboard once, and not feel like i need to do it again, and i can do other minor things like this, and do you think that if i keep practicing it, that i can overcome it myself? Please, i need serious answers. Im 13 years old, and i hear that terets syndrome affects people younger than 18.
Could I just try practicing minor things, like the keyboard thing, and gradually work on bigger things than that?
Please, serious answers...
