I suffer from claustrophobia. Is being being pinned down by another person (in fun) or say "being tied down to something that you cannot escape part of claustrophobia? I live in an apartmant and I have a small ( a very small bathroom) and I sometimes don’t close the door when I have to go (nothing gross like crapping) because I don’t like to be confined to a small space for a long time. Please let me know something or a web site in which I can visit to find out more about claustrophobia.
I’m not an expert on this, but I would say that yes, you’re claustrophobic. I don’t know if being anxious at being pinned down is really a sign of this phobia, but an aversion to closing the bathroom door due to the small space in the room seems like a good sign to me. Although I think this would have to generalise - do you have the same nervousness in elevators or small hallways, etc? If its the same all-around, then you might be phobic. There are a few sites online if you search for phobia to know more… or you could ask someone who actually knows for sure. I just answered cuz i felt like posting something
