What are your experiences with it? Mine is a constant fear of choking suffocating or drowning in anything from drinks to food. To the point where I can hardly eat a meal in peace or even fall asleep without fearing choking on my spit. I'm constantly aware of every tiny sensation in my throat. Does anybody have any issue like that? I literally have to sedate myself to be able to fall asleep without constantly coughing or snorting in case there is something stuck in my windpipe. It's the worst. I can't hear myself think without a little voice being like "do I have to make myself cough do I have to make myself cough do I have to make myself cough ???" And that's not even all the obsessions and compulsions I have.

Kind of just venting and wanted to hear other's experiences. You can offer reassurance if you want but I'm not necessarily asking for it
