please, practical and essential advice needed
It all began with a private tutorial class which was so quiet and I started swallowing, and my teacher seemed to realize that, since then, whenever I have a lesson there again, I begin swallowing consciously, and my teacher does that too.
the situation worsen when this habit of swallowing happen more frequently, the reason behind is that whenever I think about the swallowing thing, my mind automatically stimulates the salivary glands to produce saliva and I must swallow it.
Swallowing causes embarrassment and makes me talk weirdly( scared that my saliva would split on people's faces). Some of my friends who realized my behavior are beginning to swallow consciously too.. they seem to feel uncomfortable talking to me too..
I feel so bad about this problem, I really need some help.
I cant live the rest of my life being conscious about my weird habit, and swallow oddly in front of everyone.
PS I know if i dont think about the saliva and swallowing thing, the saliva secretion would naturally decrease..however, the condition has become really bad( people around me swallows, my friends, my family members etc because of me) and I just cant quite stop thinking about it, it 's hard to distract myself , not even when I am doing a test or anything..I am a pathetic machine now, swallowing every few minutes, few seconds..........
HELP is seriously needed and will be appreciated.
help change my life
thanks so much.
