Hi everyone
Basically I am struggling to eat though not always and always with dinner. I have a choking fear which started one evening eating dinner so I don't know if this is why dinner is the problem. Basically I seem to have really bad mucus in my throat which I can't swallow and when I cough nothing happens. My anxiety is always worse at night aswell. The problem is when I eat the thought of swallowing it makes me really anxious. I have thoughts running through my head 'what if i choke' 'what if the food gets stuck in my throat'. It also doesn't help that it feels like the food IS stuck in my throat. Its very uncomfortable and panics me and its causing me real trouble because I am hungry but can't eat! I even find it difficult to drink sometimes. Its a real problem and im not sure what to do? Any ideas?
