I just registered here, so hello everyone!
Just a quick summary of me; 20 year old boy from Denmark, erm.. Yeah I guess that's about it.
Anyways, I've been wondering about something for a while.
I couple of months ago I had a pretty dark period including depression, stress, panic/anxiety attacks and general anxiety.. Alot.
But all that's gone now, pretty much. Ofcourse I still get some anxiety once in a while, I know that'll never go away.
And ofcourse I feel the other things just waiting to drag me back in again the second I let them, but that's not going to happen.
Oh yeah, back on topic. As I said, I very rarely feel anxious anymore but I still have the symptoms, and it seems to be getting worse.
If I'm awake, I have a lump in my throat. Not the "about to cry lump" more like "I just swallowed a golf ball" lump.
No matter what I do it won't go away. Well, unless I'm doing something I'm really focused on, or if I'm drunk.
It's always there, I've almost gotten used to that, but sometimes it feels like it's growing or something, so I get really focused on it,
and then from the physical symptoms, actual anxiety comes.
Another thing is that ever since the lump in the throat showed up, I'm having a hard time swallowing properly.
Like, I can eat and drink etc. but if it's just saliva, some of it will stay in the back of my throat so I have to hack it up again etc. - Yeah I know, pretty yummy.
Last thing now, ever since the lump came, there has been a clicking sound when I swallow.
I have to kinda look up and stretch my throat to do so it doesn't click. Works mostly.
It doesn't hurt but it's really uncomfortable to feel and hear. It also feels like my throat is constantly "tired" from focusing so much on swallowing properly.
My question here ofcourse being if it is normal to have anxiety symptoms even though you're not anxious in any way.
If you actually read through it all, thank you. I know it's quite a lot, but there's no short way there ^^
Hope you guys have some answers!
