I panic if I have to get in a elevator by myself. When I was 11 I was stuck in one at a hospital. When I get in one I hope people are with me but when I'm by myself I panic because I am worry I will get stuck in one.

My cardiologist is on the 4th floor of their building and I have to get in a wheelchair and take the elevator. I still almost panic. Started a new medication and hope to start therapy soon.
