Maybe I’m not claustrophobic
For years I’ve been saying that I’m claustrophobic. Today, while lying in the tanning bed it hit me - if I’m so claustrophobic how come I’ve never gotten upset while tanning? Tanning beds are basically shaped like a coffin - the top is about 6 inches from my nose and there is about a two inch opening on either side. I think that if you were going to have a claustrophobic moment, the tanning bed would be a perfect place. Maybe I’ll pass this info along to some psychiatric association.
Newsflash - Claustrophobia can be cured quite simply. All you must do when heading into a tight spot is lather yourself up with some coconut flavored lotion, put on some silly goggles, aim a fan at your feet, and place a radio tuned to adult contemporary at your head. Problem solved!
