Hi there!!

I brush my tongue and accidentally make myself gag all the time, especially in the mornings. In the mornings it seems my gag reflex is really touchy or something. For some reason it doesn't bother me though, maybe because I know why I'm gagging and it's not from something else!!

Thanks this really intrigues me. I don't know where my fear came from, and I usually attribute it to hating the physical sensation of v*ing. Yet, I have felt sick to my stomach before, and I have dry heaved all the time from brushing my teeth, so it would seem I am used to both of them all the time. I can intellectualize every part of v*ing so I don't know why the flight or fight response kicks in.
