i don’t know if claustrophobic is the right word but that is how it FEELS. like it feels as though i am trapped in a small space? for example, i can’t wear headphones at the gym or walking around campus (i do on planes sometimes but i purposely buy really low quality headphones &amp; play my music quietly so i can still hear things around me) - when i put them on in these spaces, or if a friend shows me a song on their headphones and it’s loud where i can’t hear anything else … i get extremely anxious and feel trapped.

another example is when my bf’s family got this head massager that goes over your eyes and like massages your eyes and head. i basically ripped it off when i tried it because i felt so trapped and my anxiety got so bad within seconds.

the feeling is like claustrophobia but i know that isn’t technically what claustrophobia is. does ANYONE else out there relate to this?! or know what i am talking about or why this happens?! 

seriously i have never heard of this happening to anyone else or been able to find anything about it online
