2018-01-17 04:44:34
I have fear of closed spaces without any ventilation, this started when i was travelling in a sleeper AC bus. I used to travel before in flights but after 2015 i have stopped as i fear of closed spaces, i panic when stuck in a lift or locked in a car which i dont have control off. basically it fears that something will happen to me due to suffocation.
