    Elevator Fear
    >.<

    I HATE HATE HATE HATE elevators. So much.
    And today made it even worse.

    I went to the hospital ot visit my grandma, so I tell my mom "I dont want to take the elevator, lets take the stairs" she says no and we go in the elevator, there's people in it and whatever. So it's a 2 door Elevator, one in the front and back

    One door shuts and the other one doesn't so I say "Is it broken?" they tell me no.

    We push for 2nd flr and it inst movie.
    The doors weren't opening.
    They told me it was going up but it wasn't

    So I looked around and being trapped in that steal silver elevator with people. I broke down.
    I started screaming, and I couldn't even breath anymore, my eyesight went blurry, everything was getting darker and I felt like I was dreaming.

    I wanted to get out so bad but the door was stuck. Once it opened I was shaking and my heart was pounding.


    This just scared me even more of Elevators


    >< I am never going to get over this fear.
    Just beign stuck in a small place, no windows, omg. Never again will I take an elevator.

    You aren't weird Rich. I like elevators too. I like how they make my tummy feel funny.

    Heck I was even stuck in one last October for about an hour and we had a BLAST!! Well, we were supposed to have a math test that day and it ended up being postponed. Now, every time I have a test at school the same 4 people and I get on the elevator right before class. It's a ritual now.

    My aunt got stuck in one with our luggage for 20 min. The elevator company said press the door open button. It worked.

    I had sex in one.

    Freight elevators are different.

    So are elevators that go 30 floors or so.

    And then there are the glass elevators.

    Even I don't like packed elevators.
