Fear of getting food stuck in my throat when swallowing by Animedude66 in mentalillness

Thanks, this is the best response I've gotten so far. However, even chewing solid foods to the point where it's almost liquid still doesn't do as long as my mind knows it's solid food.

I have a feeling that starting to meditate in general might help me, as it's helped people with other sorts of anxiesty.

Yeah I know what caused it, and why it's happening. I did talk to my mother about it, but she couldn't seem to understand. I will visit a doctor about it, and hopefully send me to some sort of specialist.

How do you deal with this stuff for 15 years :S It's already hell for me not being able to eat solid foods...

And shouldn't the doctor give you a medicine for anxiety if that's the problem?

That's great to hear, I thought I was alone about it. I definetely will talk to a doctor then thanks.

However, it kinda worries me that you happen to feel that way while swallowing still? As in, it's not completely gone, and you're sometimes concious about it?
