ChampionNymph37634, Phobophobia is the fear of phobias, must be what I have when a question on phobias comes up 😂

Wow! I always thought swallowing was a natural reaction, a bit like blinking or yawning. It must be awful to suffer with this phobia😧

EspritACBC, RadicalYodeler46798, or try cutting in half & swallowing with yoghurt. That's what the palliative care nurses suggested for my Dad when he was struggling to swallow not long before he died😊

RadicalYodeler46798, You cannot cut them if they are capsules - the contents will spill out!

ChampionNymph37634, do you mean Franklin D. Roosevelt? ("The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.")

EspritACBC, u don’t need to worry about that because the lower 2/3 of your esophagus is non voluntary muscle so anything you swallow will go down wether u want it or not

Player. Ty, I guess I ate voraciously, which is one bad habit and I suppose not healthy. I am human and I guess I was eating like an animal and that’s not cool. Also I can blame those half hours lunches when I was working in the private sector…

Mr_Hve_Fun
EspritACBC, I read people have fears because it has actually happened to them, I think I have a fear of spiders because I took a close up picture of spiders; lately If I see a fairly small spider I kill it, I reason I am bigger than this little spider. Now having written that I will get replies from those who say baby spiders have right to live, LOL!

Aniush17
My mind went in a totally different direction with this question here 😅

I had it as a kid, I was able only to eat clear soups.

RadicalYodeler46798, my son will not swallow whole pills any size , has to crush them to a powder first, even pills that are not supposed to be done that way,,

Player #11562615
RadicalYodeler46798, also may i suggest juice or milk as it is a thicker consistancy

RegretfulHuman68, the article says psychogenic is the cause. Begins in mind, literally. This is not talking about physical causes.

EspritACBC, I find eating something small like a cracker or my favorite is a cookie throw it back when swallowing the cookie and down it goes easily, just try it!

There are so many phobias in this game, what is fear of fear itself. Sir Winston Churchill would probably know that one.

probably caused from being forced fed as a child.
