I do. I have been made fun of for it. People can actually see the fear in my eyes when I approach steps. I white knuckle the railing all the way, Baby! I am not making light of my fear but embracing it as a part of who I am.

Escalators make me feel nauseous and panicky. I have never talked about it to a therapist though. Maybe I should. I have been working on so many other things that this has never seem to come up.
