Thanks again for more responses! I think my real test of claustrophobia will be the trip on the plane I am taking next week. Yikes! I think I can handle it though. I have never really experienced claustrophobia my whole life, mainly because I live in NYC and it is crowded everywhere!

I just had these experiences lately, when it was late at night and I was alone in my room. Thats the only real time I have experienced it.
