Yes, I used to be afraid of elevators. I did not want to feel cramped up in a small space. Once I had therapy, and got better, they no longer affect me. I do so hope that you will get help soon Miss A.......you are too young to be going thru so much. You know, with the fear of the elevators(lifts), ask yourself "What can be dangerous about a lift, when all those other people ride them all the time?" Its really NOT the lift that you are afraid of, because if there were something bad about lifts, everyone would be afraid of them. :-)
