I suffer from OCD/PANIC/PHOBIAS and most recently i cannot stop thinking about the act of swallowing. I believe it stems from my obsession with breathing or the inability to do so.

The thought I might choke scares me. From this I have developed a habit cough and a spitting 'tic' which means i get through more tissues than the average human! I know its gross and really want to stop, but I can't!

Swallowing for me has switched from a subconcious act to a VERY concious one! It gets worse when i am stressed.


I would appriciate any advice on how to get over such an obsession!

Thanks
Allie
