Thanks Trish.
Yeh I have been eating soups, stuff that's easy to digest. I'm slowly introducing more chewy foods back into my diet. Slow process but I'm getting myself back ever so slowly. :)
Hi Sky,
When you do eat, are you only eating soft foods, or liquids like soup? Things that easier to swallow? Or are you eating more solid foods, ie sandwiches, meat, etc, where you have to chew for longer periods of time (that time just enough to let thoughts of only trying to concentrate on "I'm going to choke if I down get this down now"?
I have a dilemma myself over section 4 that I will be posting about in the questions over the panic diary.

I’m at a loss with Exposure work. I’m not sure I know what to expose myself to. All my anxiety and panic comes down a fear of death. My main fear is choking. So I fear eating and vomiting. Anything that can cause choking. I don’t vomit unless I’ve drunk too much alcohol, that’s the fact. It’s not like I have an especially weak stomach or anything. But this doesn’t stop the anxious thoughts and panic attacks creeping in and making my life utter hell. This has been going on for three months now.
I don’t want to be plagued by this fear of eating any more and yet I eat everyday. So that in itself is exposure.
Any suggestions for how I could overcome this? Is it just a matter of time?
Oh yeh, another question. Does the nausea involved with panic attacks ever cause one to vomit? Or is that just like the fainting symptom, and not physically possible? :confuse:
Thanks,
-Sky xx
