My gag reflex is becoming increasingly sensitive. Most days I can’t brush my teeth anymore without gagging. 

I think sometimes though it’s mostly just in my head. It’s just the thought of the filthy drain I have to look into when I spit, the hard water residue that I can’t get off the faucets. The wet towel smell that is permanently in my bathroom dude to old house + poor ventilation.  Stress and disgust.

But it’s also sometimes just the sinus drainage that I deal with all the time. It gets worse for some reason when the seasons change, but I’m alway coughing up brown phlegm in the shower in the mornings.
