How Can Severe Anxiety Be Treated?

Hi, the back of my throat is extremely Uneven. It looks as though it is lopsided. I have this weird thing where I can stick my tongue down my throat and I do it all the time! Sometimes I don t even realize I m doing it. It s just a thing I ve been doing since I was a child. Is it possible that maybe affected it? Can that cause problems? I have really bad anxiety involving my throats and now I m freaking out. The left side of my throat caves in a good 3 or 4 inches than the right side. The back of my throat is not even! I m afraid it ll get close and closer to the front of my mouth and maybe eventually stop my breathing?? Again, I have terrible anxiety so maybe I m just freaking myself out but any advice?

Dear user
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. Many of Your body parts are more flexible than you actually think. If you are able to practice with a particular elastic movement with one your fingers, hand, leg, joints etc continuously, you will be able to move it awkwardly which others will not be able to do at all without practice. Same has happened with your tongue. So don't dwell too much into it. Your anxiety is due to unrealistic thinking. Cognitive therapy is best suited for you.
