You're gonna think I'm crazy..

I feel crazy just typing this, but here it goes... Just a few minutes ago I took a drink of my iced tea and i think some went in my lungs, it hurts.. now I think I'm gonna die.. I just heard on tv a week ago about a kid who went swimming and swolled some water.. and was fine but hours later he (what they call) dry drowned.. and died..
So now my insane mind thinks that i'm gonna die..
It sounds crazy but I can't help it.. Whats wrong with my brain...

Do you have episodes like this alot, thinking that you could die from something? Maybe you have a phobia, or could be just some anxiety. I know that when I start looking up symptoms on the web I get all bent out of shape and think the worst is going to happen. I feel your pain. I would just talk to a doctor before you make any diagnosis w/ your lungs.

Anxiety. THAT'S what "wrong" with your brain. We all swallow stuff down the wrong pipe and it does hurt like hell, but how many of us drown from it? My guess is about zero. Google this episode of the young boy "dry drowning" and I promise you your fear will be gone!
Enjoy that iced tea!
Peace
