I am so so embarrassed about this but I am so anxious about being in a closed space that I won't even go on a train and definitely not fly. It obvious has a detrimental impact on my social life/ability to go and see friends etc and I'm actually fed up with it, hugely embarrassed and just sick of feeling limited by my own fears. I have no idea what to do about it, graded exposures difficult with these things. I'm scared I'll panic and not be able to escape. I wasn't like this until my mid twenties - I'm now pushing 40.
Can anyone empathise?
Any tips?
