Probably worth pre-facing this by saying I'm a naturally anxious person. Had a panic attack back in December & have had them on & off since.
About three weeks ago I started to a niggling worry about choking on food. I live alone by choice, but obviously this might add to the anxiety. I have really bad reflux & in the past had really big tonsils (now removed) & I did struggle to swallow back then, but this was 7 years ago.
This fear seems to have come on really suddenly. My diet consists of:
Boiled Eggs chopped up
Yoghurt
Mash
Soup
Soft cheese
Really not ideal! I spend about half of every month with my boyfriend. He usually comes to stay with me for around a week at a time & I CAN eat solids when he's around. This past weekend I ate a chicken bake, meal out, halloumi fries, a sandwhich. Mostly without worrying too much, though I'm definitely eating slower.
I'm a bit over-weight, so weightloss is not a huge issue, but I don't think my above diet is a good way to sustain myself. The anxiety every time I try & eat is horrible. I tried to eat soft veggie sausages earlier & spat most of it out.
Dinner this evening is vanilla Yoghurt 
Obviously I'm not doing this all the time, which is good, but I am whenever I'm alone, which is most of the time. My family & friends aren't particularly local to me either.
I was doing CBT for GAD, so that's an option. I've also tried ADs six months ago. They worked really well, but eventually turned me into an emotionless zombie, so I eventually weaned myself off them.
Has anyone had this issue & if so how did you overcome it?
It's worth saying my anxiety in general has got worse lately. If I drink too much I get serious beer fear - complete doom & worrying I'm going to die. I've cut down on booze & will further, because its honestly not worth the feeling of complete terror the next day. Ironically, however, drinking booze does make me feel more relaxed about eating.
