I had mental swallowing problems for 1 month. In the last 2 weeks I was able to eat more or less again (pasta, potatoes, etc.).
Today I'm with my sister and I had extreme problems swallowing the food. Especially because I'm just under pressure. I'm not at home, children are screaming (they brought my PS4 with them), want my attention and play on the console. Now I'm afraid that I will have problems again thanks to today. I don't want to go back to the beginning. I was on such a good road.
I can't stay here anymore but have to stay here until tomorrow. I really think the kids are hyperactive. No rest today. Usually they are not that loud and annoying.
I'm about to freak out, especially because, thanks to them, I couldn't even eat in peace.
What can I do? Well, except for home again (nobody is at home because mother is in the hospital and I can't stay alone at the moment.)
and do you think I have taken a step backwards today thanks to eating? I almost couldn't get it down without water and almost choked myself once.
Everyone has setbacks again, don't let yourself get down! When I had such mental swallowing problems for a long time, I just chewed a lot. Then when I swallowed I knew that it had to go down because the pieces are so small. It doesn't matter if you eat slowly because of it. Take your time!
There are always phases for me where I pay more attention, but these pass again.
