It’s 1 AM. This is the third night that I have been kept awake by my cough. It seems to be getting worse.

Now I have this weird problem of not being able to cough. My throat itches and it feels like I have to cough but I can’t. So I have to force it out, which includes a lot of pounding of the chest, a light squeezing of the throat, and various strange coughing-like noises in an attempt to get a proper cough out. It’s all very strange. And noisy. And I’m very tired.

I need to wake up pretty early tomorrow, ironically, to try to “open my throat chakra”. Whatever that means.

I just want this to go away. Now. It’s been two weeks. And I’m very tired.
