I am at a real low today and just need some help to get over it. Around 2 years ago I started suffering with problems due to what was assessed by the doctors as allergies to house dust mites and pollen and acid reflux. I had problems with my sinuses and the main problem was with my voice, it sounded constantly hoarse and congested and really affected my self-esteem and confidence. I hit a real low when this all happened and it really stressed me out and depressed me, I started fearing everyday things as I felt like I could not socialise properly and be myself anymore because quite a lot of the time I found that people found it hard to understand me which after a while made me get to the point where I just ended up being quite a lot of the time.
This seemed to go away and I still suffered from the odd hoarse voice but was generally okay and felt like I had my life back again and could be me. Last month I come off my medication because I thought I was getting over the problems again but this is something I wish I hadn’t done because my problems have returned especially with my voice. I desperately do not want to reach the lows that I did last time because I don’t think I can cope with it again. It just seems like my throat is constantly sore again, the back of my nose and throat is congested and I feel like I’m swallowing some crap at the back of my throat all the time and my voice is hoarse and doesn’t sound like me, also sometimes it becomes hard to speak and makes me really self-conscious, nervous and makes me mess up my words. I’ve been back on my medication again for the past 2 weeks but its not seeming to make a difference. Does anyone else suffer from these problems and how do you cope with them? Does anyone know any ways of clearing the symptoms? I think I can deal with all the symptoms apart from the voice as it really gets me down and knocks my confidence. Do you have to just rest your voice totally as well for a few days to clear the effects? Please any help would be great this is driving me mad now L
I know exactly what you mean.
