Claustrophobia

[Pixette]

Ive noticed that generally people who suffer from anxiety have a high tendancy to suffer from agoraphobia. Which I can totally understand as my mother had it for years.

However Im now going through a prticularly bad bout of anxiety at the moment and I get claustrophobic :confused: (Sorry about the spelling). I find it difficult to wash my face, having a shower etc... the night time makes me feel closed in :( . Does anyone else get like this? Also does anyone know of techniques I could use to get rid of this feeling?

Is this unusual at all?

I have a similar problem, I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks and agoraphobia but I do find bathrooms in particular very claustrophobic and will even put off going to the toilet for as long as possible. I've not found any techniques that work for me either.

I too have claustraphobia AND agoraphobia!

Strange isn't it.
