@annawilliamson_official: Have you being saying you’re claustrophobic all your life, when actually you might be suffering with Cleithrophobia?! 👀 The fear of being trapped, or cleithrophobia, might sound similar to claustrophobia but it differs slightly. Instead of fearing being trapped in closed spaces like an elevator or a closet, people with cleithrophobia fear being trapped in open spaces. Think movie theaters, shopping centre's, stadiums, trains, planes, traffic and underground parking. It can often stem from a fear or childhood trauma that felt inescapable, and can be triggered when an individual feels like there is no escape If this sound like you, follow these handy tips I use myself! #phobias #phoniahelp #psychology #fearofbeingtrapped #cleithrophobia #cleithrophobiafears #claustrophobia #claustrophobic #flyingfear #fearofflying #fears

Jess | 💖 :
Cleithrophobia is what I have too, even toilet cubicles, lifts, etc. Just the idea of being trapped anywhere sends me into a panic 🥺

I have to lock, unlock and relock cubicles in public toilets or anything like that so I know I can get out or I start to panic

I never knew! I have an issue if I’m a crowded room and I can’t get to the door. I even get stressed when I get stuck in my jumper when taking it off

Oh wow thank you! I couldn’t put my finger on what it was! Knew i wasn’t claustrophobic as such! No reason for it either. Just pure anxiety. I sometimes panic in the car, dentist chair, hairdresser!😩

Can you have both? As I can’t do lifts or small spaces and also have a fear of not being able to get out of places!

I tried to explain it as being locked in the Trafford centre. Huuuuge area but I would just die if I was locked in. I’m the same with a 3 door car and plane etc

Same, I’m okay in small spaces but being trapped on things - motorway, planes, trains. . . I do push myself to experience them x.
