I suffer from severe claustrophobia. I have been diagnoised by a doctor. i am tired of the phobia. I feel as if it holds me back at times, but at the sametime my claustrophobia keeps me save. many of you may not know wht claustrophobia is, let me tell you. It is the fear of enclose or tight spaces. With this comes panic attack, which i have almost everyday, accelerated heart rate, the feeling as if you are sufficating, and many more symtoms. i want to get rid of this phobia but i am afraid tht if i do i wont b my self. This phobia some times makes me feel safe, the reason being is tht i know every and all exits out of a room/ building. the way it holds me bac is tht some times*allthetime* when i am in the shower i hav panic attack. onetime i was in th show andi hada rly bad panic attack good thing my mom was home bc i blacked out in thd shower. i willnvr forget tht day. if you have any types on how to over come this phobia please let me know
