Thanks for the replies.

Have not had a sore throat for a good while and to be honest, I dont have much trouble swallowing, it just feels (every so often, not constant) that it feels like there is a small bit of food there. Throat has been a bit phlegmy but thats all. I wish I could stop thinking about it. I saw the doctor earlier this year and she said it was down to anxiety, I just find it hard to believe that anxiety could cause something to go on for this long.

-----------------------------
I want to go up to my anxiety, smile, put my arm around it and say to it caringly, 'Hey! How are you? How's your day been?'

Then, just as its about to answer me, I wanna throw a sack over it and give it a hiding within an inch of its life.

That would be nice.
