I have OCD, and I believe to a degree "tourettes", but many of these things manifest in unusual ways. It's not always textbook (Im an RN as well). As an example, when I was younger I would get very strong compulsions to make these "growling" type sounds every once in a while. I'm sure she is aware of it but it is nearly excruciating to ignore the ticks when one is starting. I have somehow grown out of most all of my ticks and am fairly "normal" now. I get it though, the thought to hum is likely all consuming and will drive her frantic if she doesn't complete it.
Thank you for your help. I'm not sure if she realizes she does it because it happens at the end of every sentence. It's like she's humming a tune inside her head and then it comes out at the end of her verbal sentence. She also looks at herself a lot in the living room mirror or wherever a mirror might be. It's not like a young girl would look at herself so it's kind of hard to explain. It doesn't bother me but I notice a lot of her peculiarities when they occur. I'm praying that like you, she too will overcome most of them and become her own normal too. God bless and thanks for sharing. And God bless you for overcoming all your hurdles in life that passed your way. Take care.
