hi, dont really know what to write about this so excuse me if i babble. I have anxiety, panic and am agoraphobic, i have the usual symptons, but the dry mouth one is the one i find hardest to cope, sometimes my mouth is so dry that i think my tounge is swelling so that i get to the extent that i am actually measuring it! I am so ashamed of myself when i do this and i usually only do it when i am on my own but now i am doing it infront of others aswell i am just a total embarrassment, i know deep down that my tounge is the same size as it always is and i should know cos i have acutally put a mark on the ruler i use to measure it and it doesnt get any bigger or smaller needless to say. I get so bad with this sometimes that i keep thinking that there must be some medical problem above the panic this is so unpleasant and frightening. I have been to the doctors and i am waiting to a a cognitive behavioural therapist .
