Going to Bangladesh and I have tics

I’m really stressed out. Bengalis are not understanding when it comes to tics. I’m staying there for a month because it may be the last time I see my grandmother and my mum noticed a tic and said that I can control it and how she doesn’t want her sisters to ask and judge me about my tics. I hate myself for them and I wish I didn’t have them. It honestly makes me wanna hurt myself but I’m nearly a month clean. I won’t pretend that I have no control over them, but it’s definitely a lack of control. I just want to stop and I feel like I could and yet I don’t and I don’t know why.

I’m pretty sure tics are triggered by certain things, so that might explain why some situations are worse than others.
