I have a mental problem/fear that has ruined my life (srs)

For a very long time (approximately 10 yrs), I have been afraid of food, specifically choking on food. I won't eat red meat (steaks). I won't eat fish (bones) because I'm afraid of choking. I'm not exactly sure where this fear came from but I never actually choked on anything but I have had many "episodes" where I thought I was choking but not. This has basically ruined my life and I can't even diet properly because I'm limited in what I am willing to eat. Also, it's less prevalent in the mornings when I just wake up and am relaxed compared to lunch/dinner times when I am defcon 2.

Has anyone heard of this or experienced this and knows how to beat it without turning to psych meds?

I'm trying to face my fears just by typing this out but I feel like I need to take steps to solve this problem for good.

No. It's in the throat but it's mental.
