Hi Alex,
since these tics have been happening since you were 5 years old, they definitely are not something that anyone should blame you for - this is something that you need to see a professional about who will be able to determine if there is maybe some neurological reason as to why this is happening to you or is it maybe obsessive-compulsive disorder that has evolved on it's own, because no one took you seriously. How old are you now? First you need to shake the weight of you - this is not something you can control or something you choose to do. And than you need to take the steps to help yourself - these are treatable conditions and the right doctor will know to recognize that. You don't have to suffer and go through this, not before you try to find a cure first - and there are treatments.
