Escalators. My heart races, I white knuckle the hand rail, I can't open my eyes except to check how much further it is to the bottom. Ugh. I hate them.

WOW another escalator phobic! If there is a big line of people I first have to let them all past cuz it takes me a good minute or two actually step on. I can't close my eyes cuz I'm afraid of "falling off" soo I look straight up at the celing, my hands sweat so bad, and I can't converse with anyone while I'm on it. There is this HORRIBLE escalator in the Mall of America and I will do ANYTHING to avoid it!!! At least my family knows to let me go last and not give me a hard time or I'll burst into tears. My b.f. tries to help by holding my hand he tried to lead me on by hand when we started dating and I wriggled my hand out and stayed behind and he thought I was mad at him... I have to do it all on my own on my own time now he knows if he wants to stand by me he has to wait behind and not hold my hand untill I'm fully ready.
