18 Problems Only Claustrophobic People Will Understand
6. Cars Journeys From Hell
Even driving can be a nightmare for a claustrophobic. You would think that if there is a problem, you could pull over and get out. Most of the time thats true but there are times you have no option of escape. Driving through a tunnel and there is a traffic jam, the walls of the tunnel and brightly lit signs telling you not to leave your car can trigger a panic attack. Or on a motorway, you cant stop the car and go for a walk. You feel trapped, the lines of cars on either side feel like a prison. But if you are not driving and going on a road trip, you have to make sure you dont get stuck in the back of a two seater. Then you really are trapped because you cant get out without the consent of the person sitting in front.
