I think I really just needed to hear from someone that it really was just anxiety and not something else. Now I can take the time and deal with just anxiety and not compound it by thinking that it's something else. I think my worry over it being something medical was making it worse than it really was.

Thanks for your comments

I"m glad things were not serious and it's such a relief.

Great job in your progress too!

Hi Koneko..

That's great news!! I'm so glad your doctor was able to put your mind at ease. Sometimes just knowing what there is really a "problem" and not just in our heads is a relief in itself.

You deserve the treats and I'm glad you enjoyed them...

Koneko,

This should go in success stories! Good for you for working with your doctor to find out the root of some of your anxiety. We suggest you journal your conversation with the doctor and keep a journal of all of the meals that you've had and how you felt when you ate them.

Keep on enjoying food!

Koneko, wonderful news, yes smaller meals is a great idea, thats how I eat. Popcorn for me is something I dont eat often, only at the movies, cause of the little kernels. Great job on eating again, thats so good to hear and of course good news on going to the doctor, i'm sure you feel relieved. I'm very excited for you.

Hiya Koneko!

I am glad to see you feeling and eating better! Sometimes knowing what is up is just what we need to feel better! As for munching on junk, weel you deserved it and it is not like you will much junk forever so enjoy! Keep us posted on the good days to come!

As for the post-nasal drip thing. I have that too. My doctor gave me a saline based nasal spray that seems to help. Anyway, just thought I would mention that!

Hey all, just thought I'd throw a little update!

I went to see the doctor, there's nothing wrong, just a post nasal drip caused by allergies. The doc said that I was probably exascerbating the situation due to my anxiety. Post nasal drip makes it feel like food is getting stuck. He told me there's not tons you can do for post nasal drip either but food is definately not getting stuck, it's just the awful mucous at the back of the throat making that awful feeling. He also said the white lumps in tonsils are normal in small amounts, I have large tonsils for my size I guess so I get a little more than average but they're healthy, my throat looks healthy. He's not going to put me on anxiety medication due to my age and feels that I'm better off working it out myself since I'd have to wean off the medication eventually anyway.

Since seeing the doctor yesterday though it made me feel tons better that it's not something medical and I've been able to eat whatever I've wanted since yesterday! I had a tiny bit of trouble with some salad today but I ate a good amount of it, I wouldn't have touched salad before. He recommended that I eat smaller portions throughout the day.

I really feel like just one day made a world of difference though, my fiancee offered me some of his poached eggs last night and I ate it, I wouldn't have been able to do that before. I think I would have flat out refused them

Had 2 pieces of cheesecake and been munching on BBQ chips all day (bad bad bad but I've been craving them for a good while, thought I'd spoil myself!) That's not all I've had today either so I don't feel super guilty munching on junk.

It's pretty amazing what a few words from a professional can do for you! I'll still avoid popcorn probably forever, can't stand the kernels but I've never been able to stand them

I still have the anxiety to deal with of course but I don't think it will be as bad if the rest of my days turn out like today has so far!

Hi Koneko, Keep me posted on what the doc says, I hope you are doing better now.

CD, hope your throat is feeling a bit better, not too much coughing. Honey is soothing on the throat, just a little at a time.
