I cant swallow anything not even water I went to the doctor he didnt find anything.
Its been going on for some time now but i didnt want to post anything because whenever i would ask my step mom about it she would say your overreacting
Well overreacting doesnt include not being able to swallow anything for 2 weeks!!
I havent eat for a while and when i filled out those surveys and they asked me what i was eating i just thought something up.
I havent eaten for two days.

When i swallow it feels like its not going down which feel like it true because
when i swallow something it gets stuck then i gag and cough.
I cant even swallow a freaking strawberry!

This is not aimed to panic you but 2 Days without food is a serious health risk, if that includes water you will be dehydrated, I would get to your doctor/gp asap, sounds like you may need some anti-bionics to sort it, please go!

Ok, at least you can keep yourself hydrated, just keep drinking water, even sip it through a straw just to keep fluid in your body, I would recommend going to see again saying its not cleared up and you still can't eat anything, if he keeps saying the same thing I would speak to your mum or dad about taking you to another doctor or to the hospital (Don't panic) if it gets any worse.

Go see someone who takes you seriously. Not eating is very bad for you, and inability to swallow (dysphagia) can be the symptom of a number of different diseases.
