Hi everyone, im really struggling at the moment i constantly feel like my breathing is restricted which worsens when i eat/drink. i feel like i am suffocating. i havent eaten in over a month and barely drink. A couple of sips each day, i had a laryngoscopy and they said its all normal but would they be able to see if my windpipe is restricted as i feel thats the problem, doctor says its all anxiety but im really contemplating even being here anymore. can someone help

    sorry you are going through this. Yes they would be able to see the condition of your windpipe.

    many times in people with a very high level of anxiety, It can feel as though there is something wrong in that area. but nothing was found that was concerning.

    you don’t have to be miserable and you can get some help for this. You don’t have to suffer alone. It’s important that you get the proper nutrition and hydration.

    you need some good support right now. Somebody that can help you get through this. I would recommend talking to a counselor. That person can help you look at this a different way.

    Sometimes we can convince ourselves that what we are thinking is the absolute truth about what is going on. But anxiety can make us believe things that are not true.

    The thoughts can build up and up to the point that we are convinced what we are thinking is true.

    thats why you need some support right now.

    there’s lots of help out there !

    make an appointment with a counselor or therapist. Some churches even offer free counseling.

    I would also recommend making an appointment with your doctor for a check up. There are doctors that can also help you find a counselor.

    you can feel So much better! ❤
