i hate ceilings. i need open beam or else i start wigging out. i dont think that it will cave in or anything. i just feel very constricted and trapped. i guess that counts as claustrophobic.
Phobia
This is slightly off topic so move me if appropriate -
One of my stubborn symptoms is claustrophobia. Planes, tubes and elevators freak me out. I have avoided tubes and lifts for a few years. Can't avoid planes as I refuse to give up holidays! But the claustro stays the same each time so exposure isn't helping. Does anyone know of any type of therapy or a book, or ANYTHING at all that can help me work through this?
I understand that phobias are symbols of our fears etc, are there any direct approaches to sorting it out? I know it wont go over night but I refuse to be limited like this. And have decided now is the time. Anyone else with phobias here?
