@emily1890 way to go. You did something you were anxious about and the things you feared would happen didn't.
I have heard that is how they sometimes work with people experiencing PTSD like in this article that talks about facing our fears How to Face Your Fears Head-On CANDC [If you want me to see your reply to this post please include @CANDC in your message - not in requoting my message] __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |

I take it you have a phobia about elevators. Pushing past the fear is no small thing. Good for you! Small victories add up and deserve to be celebrated. We find we are capable of more than we thought we could do. It's a nice discovery.

Yay! Good for you
 As someone who's struggled with severe anxiety in the past, it doesn't sound stupid in any way. It sounds like a brave and important step
