insane...

ok … so today im feeling really sick, dizzy and basicsally i cant breath!! :frowning: Im claustrophobic and in the past week have had a few horrid experiences of gettin stuck in lifts, trains and subways!! :eek: I cant get to uni without publi transport becos i cant drive and even if i cud, its 2 expensive 2 drive all the way and to park as well.

Anyhow i dnt mid public transport even whn its busy, but last week it was rush hour in the morning the train was packed i was sitting down, and all of a sudden the trtain just slowed down and stopped on the tracks!!! We were stuck on it 4 2 hours!!! Now i dunno wht it is but whrever i sit or go i always look for n exit that i cud possibly escape 4rm , even a small window, i dunno whether its an escape thing or an oxygen thing :confused: i started to feel really sick and dizzy and basically panic, even though was safe its just there problems on the track so the train cudnt move on. I kept trying 2 explain 2 myself not 2 make a scene in front of every1 so i stood up on my chair :frowning: how stupid i knw thr wasnt much room to even move tbh, and then had tears running down my face- i was needless 2 say embarasses but i cudn help myself, i cant seem to breath properly under suc circumsatncer either , i was breathing so heavily and im nt even asthmatic, anywayz i got out of that 1

then got in a lift on tuesday, luckily not 4 long, but again i had a total panick attack

but worst of all was today

i was on the subway it wa sonly like a 2 stop journey and i was running late, however there was a football match and it was crazy busy, but they kept letting ppl on even thou thr was like no space :mad: anyhow halfway through the subway stopped and THEN… startted rolling back, becos thr wee 2 many ppl on it. I was S*** scared as it kept stopping and rolling back and was totally panicking cos thr was like nooo space to even move a finger in thr !!! after a while it slowly made its way to the 1st stop, so i ran out even tho it was ages away 4rm whr i actually had to get off!! I was shaking, heart was pounding at like a million miles per hour . aNd am still having slight difficulty breathing :teary2:

Its never been like this , and i try to calm myself in situations like this, sumtimes i actually go in2 tight spaces to try and help myself deal with it, it just makes things worst 4 me.

Most ppl think im insane , but i dunno why i react like this :no: mayb im going insane, but im sure other ppl go thru this ???

Re: insane…

Awwwwwwwwwwwww i feel for you cuz i am claustrophobic too :(!. At times i think i should actually do something about it…cuz like i am scared of taking elevators n it was a nightmare when i was in canada and everyday i had to take them like 10 times cuz i lived in an appartment. BUt my mom had to tag along with me:blush:…lol it can be really bad at times. I have trouble wearing anything that is too close 2 my neck as in necklaces, etc. Infact i love high-necks n the colored necks but i can’t wear them. Everytime i get a kameez made with colored neck it gets wasted as i am not able to wear them as it feels extreemly uncomfortable. Just last week i gave that shirt back 2 the tailor and told him 2 do something about it cuz i really liked the shirt and didnt want to waste it like i did with my other shirts so he was also beta i told you before too stop trying to wear such necklines cuz you are just not comfortable with them na :(. Its so bad…

I remember my dad got this realy nice diamond locket from dubai and mom gave it to me but i cant wear it cuz it comes up lil 2 close 2 my neck for my comfort. And you cant even get a new chain cuz some lockets look nice up close:smack:. So ya i think i should do something about it cuz evry says what the hell r u gonna do on your wedding?!?..Also last month i had 2 go for a job interview and i had 2 big portfolio bags with me..driver was away on holidays so my poor bro had to drop me and he was being a gentleman and carried those such heavy bags for me and he was like yaar lets take the elevators and i was like noooooooooooooo u go n i wl come by stairs…lol now he cudnt even leave me alone as it was early morning n the place was very sunsan…(LOL)…so ya at times it really bothers you that you can’t be normal like other people.

But its all in the mind cuz i know when i go to wonderland (amusement part in canada) i go mad and end up taking all of those rides n all in fun and at times i realise later that oh i was actually tied up like that and had to be in that position for like 10 mins n how did i manage…lol just for the thrills eh! but than i can neva take that one where the tube is covered…i wud die in the mid-way i believe.

Like you i also at times try and c if i can control myself n all but it helps only little bit.

Re: insane…

1 funnie incident that happened abt 2 months ago…i went to hang-ten @ defence and they had the elevator 2 go 2 the 2nd floor and i was like arghhh nooo my mom was like come on dont be such a kid…i asked the guy there if the elevator was working fine…he goes ya but there is going 2 be a power failure in an hour and at that time the elevator stops n we wl have 2 operate it somehow n that wl take 10 mins…i was like lol r u kidding me…u expect me 2 be there for 10 mins…heeh i was so bothered i didnt even take risk and toook the stairs they had from outside the shop n i came back from there 2 though he was like mam dont worrie the power failure’s time is after an hour:halo:.
