StalwartMind Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi Mla, There are other people out there who are going through similar. The well being of humans is and should be our number one priority. I understand it may feel embarrassing, but people of all ages find themselves struggling with issues. You may feel very vulnerable but yet you've found the courage to share your situation, I commend you for that. I do believe that professional advice is the best course of action, and if you feel that therapy and medication are not working, then this is an important issue to bring up. Do you have some family or such you can discuss this with? Food can get stuck if your passage is a bit narrow, but there are other possibilities as to why it happens too. Perhaps you can for the time being attempt to chew things to tiny pieces, until you can have it looked at. Waking up choking is something I would get diagnosed fast, I don't know if you have but would encourage you to do so. Finding people who only wish you their good intentions can be challenging. You say it's been a year since your break up and it has taken until now to finally be interested in others. You are doing very good in this sense, some people take much longer to even reach that stage. Link to post Share on other sites

I used to wake up with panic attacks not breathing and as if my airway was stuck shut for 5 seconds, and also used to get food and liquid come up but that was more due to eating too much at night. Had a lot of emotional and stress, panic attacks and shutting down. There's a lot I could say about this and that but basically I think you probably are stuck in past, regretting things that you can't change, or worrying about future. I mean whatever you have experienced you have to feel it, acknowledge it happened and it's history and heal from it, you have to feel it to heal it. You might do this a good few times with various different things. Even sit and write things down that you don't like and write what it is that is you don't like and keep reading it and writing more down. It help you to see it's just a thing on paper now, you can move on from it. Whatever it is you do on a daily basis try and keep busy and just think right what do i need to be doing now to keep busy so I'm learning this, improving that, fixing this, sorting things out etc. Keep busy busy and always focus on the now. Also have you tried magnesium supplement, not sure about what meds you're on but I try my best to take no pharmacy meds, and have a good diet if you can do that. Hope that might help you a bit 2011 Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 First time IV posted on this thread and not been on here in a very long time last posts was about a break up I suffer really bad with health anxiety and depression I'm in therapy and on medication and not working One thing to try is counseling, CBT - Cognitive behaviour therapy. This kind of counseling is aimed for those suffering from anxiety disorders, and depression. Please google this and look into finding a good therapist who specializing in this type of counseling. You will learn about anxiety, face any issues you have that are causing you to feel this way and learn to cope with life in general in a healthier way. Learning to be positive by doing meditation, yoga and deep breathing. It's not easy, I always say what you put into therapy is what you get out of it. Everyday is a struggle worry if I got something is serious and Gonna die, death is my fear yet it's inevitable! Worry bout family and friends dying too! Always back and fir doctors or ringing them and out if hours NHS direct and the support contact numbers I have and its becoming embarrassin at my age now 27 :/ I understand how you feel, I used to have real bad anxiety over this too. Sometimes it does creep up in my head, I worry about my loved ones, the bad what if's.... What I learned in CBT helped me not focus on that stuff, to acknowledge it, then put it out of my head. I'm 44! Don't feel embarrassed by this, so so so many people suffer from anxiety. It's better to talk about it and let your family and friends know how you feel, they can help be supportive, if you have anxiety and need to go to the store, you ask someone to come with you so you'll feel safer and less anxious. It affects my sleep lately been wakin up choking, affects my rating where I get food stuck in my throat and petrified I'm Gonna choke and found nobody to relate to this part which is why I come on get as feel so alone with it Panic attacks suck!! They are scary and can imitate other health issues which of course makes you think and worry more. This is where the deep breathing (in through the nose, out through the mouth) helps a lot. visualization and saying positive things in your head helps control the anxiety. I won't have children because of my problems I get consumed by my issues and don't know how to switch off and take a very long time to get over things that's wfere the depression comes in and never happy with wa I got! Also unhappy alone, live alone lonely and been single over year and a half since my last break up taken till now to try be interested in others and that's depressed me as they either wanna use me or the ones I like don't like me Please try the CBT, google your local hospitals, universities/colleges and health clinics to see if they offer this type of counseling. Finding someone you can open up to and trust will help you so much! Right now you feel alone, scared and not sure of your future, but with help you can understand anxiety better and learn to cope with it day to day. As you get stronger, less fearful of the anxiety, you take control back and feel powerful - That's the thing about anxiety, it takes away control so if you can be in charge and tell it to F-OFF, you will survive this fine. You may always have bouts of it, I certainly do still, but with the tools I learned in CBT, I come out of it stronger and wiser. DO open up to your closest friends, sometimes just getting it out helps relieve the anxiety. Feel free to private message me if you need to talk or just vent, ask me anything about anxiety, I'm an open book about it. You're not alone. Jus wondered if anyone experienced wa I am and if they have come out other end as nothin seems to be wirkin for ME write now You can fight this and get through it. Don't give up!
