Is it normal to keep gagging and cannot stop it? And how to cope with it.
Dear @LOLOL1811 ,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing gagging; that sounds really uncomfortable. Thank you for reaching out for support. If you’re comfortable, could you share more about your experience? For example:
- When does the gagging usually happen?
- How long does each episode last?
- How long have you been experiencing this?
- How often does it occur?
Understanding more about your situation can help us figure out the best way to support you.
One of the most effective ways to manage anxiety is by restoring regulation to the nervous system. Here are some common techniques that can help:
- Deep Breathing: Practising deep, slow breaths can calm your body and mind.
- Relaxation Techniques: Methods such as progressive muscle relaxation can reduce tension.
- Mindfulness: Staying present and engaged in the moment can help ease anxiety.
Sometimes, working with a counsellor can be beneficial for understanding the root causes of your anxiety and developing strategies tailored to your unique needs. A counsellor can provide guidance and support to help you manage your symptoms effectively too.
I hope the above has been helpful and if you’d like more resources or if there is anything else you’d like to share with us, please do. We’re here to listen to you, your feelings are valid and you matter! 
Take care,
Cool Breeze =)
