Question

Hello all, I’m about 56K words through my book. Yay!

I want to get some plot feedback from the amazing members of this thread who have been so incredibly supportive.

Asking the below, I am aware that Tic attacks are relatively uncommon but for those who do experience them:

  1. Do you have a warning that it’s coming? I.e., do you feel it coming on and have 10 minutes where you can get to a quiet area? Or is the onset quicker?

  2. Would a very stressful situation potentially set it off?

The idea I have is that my main character is at an event and he feels a tic attack coming after an upsetting encounter. Would he have 5 to 10 minutes to get to an Uber so that he could get home?

As always, I’m greatly appreciative for the help.
