No need to be embarassed about ANYTHING you post here. That's what's so great about Babble. People support you and sympathize and empathize. Let it all hang out!
Depression and anxiety wreak havoc on my body. In addition to what you have mentioned (especially the swallowing thing), I begin to twitch, get hand trembles, start stuttering, become nauseous, etc. Unfortunately, I also focus so much on this that I become even more anxious. I become anxious about feeling anxious. This is a big problem.
I 've been experiencing some mild depression the last few weeks and now I've got it in my head that all of my teeth are loose. I can't stop testing my teeth, even had my husband try to pull my teeth. Logcally, I KNOW they are all in there safe and sound, but I FEEL that they aren't. I attribute this totally to anxiety. And even just realizing this makes it easier to deal with.
Now who obsesses over teeth? That is REALLY embarassing!
