Trouble swallowing

[XmasCarol52]

All I know last night I had trouble with swallowing I got so anxious it felt like my heart was racing.I am sure it has something to do with not only my anxieties but my gerd>I took an extra pill but it still didnt help.Of course my stomach is in knots.Maybe cause I got to go out TUesday but I am going to think about my prize at the end of my appointment ,which will be two not one lobster rolls at MCDonalds>I love lobster and I can almost taste it now.Just wish my anxieties would stop causing me to feel like I cannot swallow,Does anyone else get that feeling of not being able to swallow? I have gotten it before.I almost developed a panic attack from it.The adrenaline was so high I could feel it go way down to my legs.This is not one thing I can handle not swallowing.I do eventually but it scares me.

I do hope you start to feel better. I have never had that symptom with my anxiety . I have felt like i've had a lump in my throat or something like that but, not trouble with swallowing. You have a good attitude about Tuesday though and to one agoraphobic to another. .. i'm proud of you. You go out there and go and see the doctor against the odds. The world is seen differently for people like us .. and it's not fun.

As long as my driver shows up I will be okay I did notify the companions place to remind them i need a ride ,but what scares me the most is the appointment i have for Aug 3rd I do not know these doctors .I am so afraid something will go wrong one thing I wont tolerate is pushy doctors.I wish I could cancel but I cannot,just hope I don't have to sit and wait for to long.Waiting makes me nervous they should pay us for having to wait so long in the waiting room lol

When you are feeling like that Carol, try to take a deep breath. Hold it in for the count of 4 and then let it out slowly. breathe in through your nose, hold it for the count of 4, then breathe out slowly through your mouth. Do this for about 10 to 20 times and it will relax you.

Deep breathing exercises are very relaxing and work almost instantly. You are going to be fine tomorrow. Even if you do feel a bit anxious, tell yourself that it will not be for long. I am not surprised you are suffering anxiety with hardly any sleep. I think I will say a prayer to get your doctor to listen to you and give you some meds that work.

thank you I have tried that it helps some and thanks for your prayers I need a bunch of them i really do not want to go but i wont get my meds if I dont go which i think is a bunch of bs if you asks me.It will take about 15-20 minutes but just the thought of going out makes me ill.Why can't our lives be so much easier why does everything have to be such a task??When my friend tells me she is going out for lunch or just shopping it angers me that I am unable to do those things.Anxiety sucks.

The problem for me is not the waiting or the destination. . It's the journey. It's the wide open spaces .... period! . If I see walls than i'm fine. I just can't stand the wide open spaces. If i'm in a building and there are people around me when I have a panic attack ...then it can be controlled. If i'm out though and no matter if someone is with me or not... I have a very very hard time.

I am trying to think of the prize later my lobster rolls,i just hope my stomach relaxes by then I am always afraid of pooping my pants I do wear underwear Assure they are like diapers but even so it still scares me I just want to go and get home as soon as I can then in three weeks I have to see my new doctor which is much worse. I do not know what to expect.I know I will have to explain my illness all over again Ugh.

It is my morning Carol, but you I think are still sleeping? I'm sending you good happy vibes for today. I'm praying to our Mother Mary to intercede to Jesus to put your mind to rest today when you go for your appointment. I also pray for Mother Mary to intercede on your behalf to get your doctor to listen to you about your sleeping pills. I'm holding your hand on your trip out today. Tightly too. Can you feel it?

By the way, I'm not a Catholic, but I have always found that prayers to Mary always seem to work for me. That baffles me!

A new doctor in three weeks! That is good news, Carol! Finally, you may get the proper ear that listens.

It's hard enough to ask for help or even to admit that your mentally ill. . I hope you have found a doctor that will actually listen and maybe your life will be peaceful. Surely wish I could find a doctor that would listen to me... anyways. .. good luck today. I know you can do this. Your a strong woman .
