Claustrophobia...??

i am VERY claustrophobic.when i was in 2nd grade on the playground all the kids decided it would be fun to clog up the bottom of the slide...so i got stuck in te middle al i remember was kicking and crying and screaming to get out and i FREAKED OUT then i got in trouble for it because the teacher didn't understand and i couldn't explain it but anyways thats not the point..i can't do elevators or cars with lots of people or small places like closets or ANYTHING its terrible

i can't even watch it like in a movie

like in poseidon when they are stuck in the vents i literally got the chills and couldn't watch

or in this othe movie this guy gets buried underground in a wooden box OMG i had to turn it off!

and the hlls have eyes where the guy is in the box

but yah i don't even get why im like that im not scared or anything i just don't get it haha its soo dumb

how can i overcome it??

Answer:
Behavior therapy.
Expose yourself to the situations that make you tense for a set amount of time even though it makes you uncomfortable, then as time goes on, you increase the amount of time that you are in the situation that makes you uncomfortable.
This should be done with the aide of a therapist.

The young lady above me is correct...It's called Systematic Desensitization and it's very successful when used to treat phobic fears. Find a good therapist who practices it and you'll be fine soon enough.
