The whole point, as I understand it, is that something misfires in our brains sending inappropriate "fight or flight" responses screaming through our bodies. <BR/><BR/>Usually I squeak by if I do my old Lamaze breathing to calm myself, but on that bus, I was trying very hard NOT to breathe at all!EmilyBryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542349086762747179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-77288424549110105632008-08-27T12:57:00.000-04:002008-08-27T12:57:00.000-04:00I understand completely Emily!I am a strong woman,...I understand completely Emily!<BR/>I am a strong woman, I hate to cry and I rarely allow myself to be "weak", so it really bothers me when my phobias get the better of me.<BR/>I wish I knew where they came from and how I could get the better of them, but thus far, they still control me.<BR/>I am terrified of small spaces, I hate crowds, I can stand anything being near my neck or face that could somehow smother me and I hate germs. <BR/>Man, I really sound like a nutcase when I see all the things that I'm scared of lol ;)<BR/>There have been times that I just leave a store or a get together at someone’s house...and I don't go back in until a later date, when there are smaller numbers of people.<BR/><BR/>I really do wonder were these phobias come from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
