Eek Eek!When I was around 11 or 12, I was a pretty unhappy kid and developed a number of nervous tiks. The weirdest of these was an irresistible urge to issue forth an ultra high-pitched noise, whilst keeping my mouth closed. Not quite a scream then, more of a, well, eek.It was absolutely compulsive.
I remember one evening, having spent a pleasant afternoon watching the athletics on telly with my grandad, my mother taking me aside and cornering me about this tik. I was mortified, of course, but had to own up - apparently old grandpa had thought his hearing-aid was playing up.

Ha my mate at school could do thisBut he couldn't explain exactly how to do it so I couldn't work out how to do it myself. It would attract attention but people couldn't work out where it came from.

Well my voice brokeand the squeaks ceased. I've no idea how I did it either, or why my repressed misery chose that way to express itself. I just know that I HAD to do it and, if the squeak was sufficiently long and 'pure' the urge would die down for a little while, so that my mind could get some peace.
Full on OCD can't be any fun at all.
