thinking too much about the pill in your mouth to the point that it impairs your ability to swallow it

anti-rec; this sucks! along with thinking so hard about the toothbrush and toothpaste in your mouth and gagging because of it... just happened to me right now and i saw the warm green tea diminishing from the cup as each gulp passed through my lips and down my throat... that darned pill stayed in its place, barricaded by the arch of my tongue... thankfully i was able to get it down the hatch otherwise i was not ready to go back to the kitchen to retrieve more liquid.

Burning your tongue on hot food

It always feels like it’s going to be wayyy more debilitating than it actually is. It’s funny because in the moment it’s so frustrating and I beat myself up like wow I’m so impatient why didn’t I just wait like great now my tongue is going to feel weird/hurt for the next few days blah blah blah… but I swear like 30 minutes later I completely forget about it. It’s funny because it doesn’t even hurt that badly, I’m just usually upset by the inconvenience it presumably will cause for the next few days, but I actually can’t remember a time when it has lasted more than a few hours. A good reminder that we tend to remember the bad things in life way more than the good things (negativity bias), which cause our anxieties to become heightened in preparation for when we think bad things might take place, but more often than not, nothing bad happens, or if it does, it’s not that bad. Try to focus on the good!

I am physically unable to chug liquid

Like I'm just unable to swallow that way. Also double-jointed in my shoulders, am horrible at regulating my temperature, have mild tinnitus in both ears, and my mouth is too small for all my teeth

Microwaving a sock full of rice

It’s like an elite heating pad because it also smells like toasty rice. I don’t even have any sore muscles right now, its just here for the calm, comforting vibes
