i have OCD and have suffered greatly for 12 years my themes vary but the one i have now is body focusedi get obsessive throat cleating and cant stopi do have silent reflux which is a contributing factor but it gets much much worse when i have a spike it all starts with “what if i cant stop clearing my throat”?im doing it all day long
i feel frustrated i know i have to accept it for it to stop but easier said than doneany suggestions? thanks so much
I have the same, in fact I have many throat issues I’m constantly clearing my throat and now I seem to be having excess saliva and can’t stop thinking 'm going to choke on it, I’m worried it’s a serious illness or just my anxiety xx
hi! well i actually went to the ENT when this throat clearing started and I actually have silent reflux which contributes but without question this acts up when i am stressed i know a lot of it is OCD like right now i am ficused on every swallow
and of course im starting to irritate my thriat cause i keep cleating it like every other minutei hate this
I totally get what you are saying, I can’t stop focusing on my swallowing, I’m sure it’s my anxiety that makes it worse x
