Hi there
I have posted a few times recently. I just want some advice.
I had a panic attack caused by a bad taste in my mouth. I believe the taste is attributed to tonsil stones. It is something i have never cared about before and never used to worry about.
Anyway. I had a panic attack and am continuing to be anxious and panicky when i can taste this taste in my throat. I cannot taste it all the time.
I am scared that i won't be able to stop this turning into a phobia!
How could someone live with a phobia of their own throat??
Docs have prescribed Zoloft 100mg. It's been up and down. I have been incredibly depressed the last few days. I felt i was getting better but then every now and then the nervous jitters take over when i get this taste.
Is there anyway to stop a phobia developing? Is there anyway of disassociating panic from a particular thing (ie. this taste) Has anyone had this before or felt like they are trapped inside their own body because their own body is the phobia?
I am wondering whether to get myself committed because i cannot live like this. I am trying to be positive but i dread a future being constantly afraid all the time. I could not live like it.
Please help, any advice would be appreciated
