Streamer with Tourettes shares emotional reaction to beating one of her triggers Sweet_Anita, Twitch \/ FreepikTwitch streamer \u201cSweet_Anita\u201d is unlike many content creators on the platform, with her gut-busting humor and acute Tourettes syndrome setting her apart from the rest of the crowd. Anita skyrocketed to Twitch fame in late 2018, after clips from her stream went viral across Reddit. Both her hilarious antics and her openness about her condition quickly rendered the streamer a favorite among Twitch regulars: but, despite being a star, internet fame isn\u2019t always what it\u2019s cracked up to be. 600In fact, one of Anita\u2019s tics would often get triggered by her own Twitch chat during live broadcasts \u2013 a tic that she claimed would cause her to throat to bleed from being activated so often. A quick look through the streamer\u2019s clips show humorous moments where her tics crop up with near-perfect comedic timing \u2013 but one tic, triggered by the word \u201cbanana,\u201d wasn\u2019t as funny as it was destructive \u2013 until now. Anita gave fans a hopeful update with the tic in a Tweet on September 3, where she announced that she was finally \u201cfree\u201d from it, cheerfully laughing as she repeated the word \u201cbanana\u201d without being set off. \u201cI don\u2019t know what happened \u2013 \u2018banana!\u2019\u201d she laughed. \u201cYeah, so at least it\u2019s not been a bad day entirely. \u2018Cause Twitch chat can\u2019t hurt me anymore.\u201d THE TRIGGER IS GONE! There were days where I would tic until I bled from my throat because Twitch chat would set me off with it. My first day free of it has been amazing. pic.twitter.com\/QdWyOzhekq \u2014 Sweet Anita (@Tweet4nita) September 3, 2019 Anita\u2019s fanbase was overjoyed with this development, congratulating her in droves across social media for overcoming the tic. \u201cI screamed really loud when I heard you say this, I was so happy and relieved,\u201d one fan commented. \u201cIn the midst of sadness there was a moment of clarity and happiness when you said that.\u201d I screamed really loud when I hear you say this, I was so happy and relieved.
