It sounds like you are stuck in a loop of anxiety, guilt and overthinking. What you are dealing with is not weakness or failure, it’s your mind reacting to pressure and fear. Excessive intimate thoughts or habits often point to deeper emotional needs or stress that’s being ignored.
There’s no shortcut here. You need to speak with a psychologist who can help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. With the right support, you can take back control without shame.
Be kind to yourself but also take responsibility. Real change begins when you stop fighting alone.

Hi,
Yes, anxiety can cause the sensation that there is something stuck in your throat, often referred to as globus sensation or globus pharynges. This feeling is common among people experiencing stress or anxiety and is usually related to muscle tension in the throat and neck area. It can create the impression that food is not swallowing properly or that something is lodged in the throat, even when there is no physical obstruction. While anxiety is a common cause, itâs important to rule out other medical conditions like acid reflux, throat infections, or structural issues. If this sensation persists or worsens, itâs advisable to consult a healthcare professional to ensure there are no underlying physical problems and to discuss anxiety management strategies that can help relieve the symptom.
