Claustrophobia
When home, I leave the doors to my Florida room open, even though it doubles my electric bill.
I can barely fly anymore. When I do, I buy row 1 , seat 1. I cannot sit more than 3 or 4 rows deep on a plane.
I'm driving a big car because I can't sit in a sports car or small car.
I can't be in rooms with no windows or with locked doors.
The older I've gotten the worse its got. Occasionally I'll have a dream of being buried alive.
Its always in my mind not to be trapped anywhere. I'm always aware of my surroundings.
The only reason I mention it, is the women who they want to testify in DC also has it bad. One of the reason's getting her to DC was complicated , was that she can not fly due to her Claustrophobia. So she is driving cross country.
I completely understand. I also have compassion for her and anybody else who has this little mental bug. Its omni-present in my life.
Not about her or the politics. Actually hearing it made me feel better that I'm not alone with this problem.
