Question Posted Thursday February 22 2007, 9:37 pm
is there such thing as a phobia of open spaces? i have it bad. i can never walk alone in large open spaces/floors and when im walking down the hallway at school i tend to walk right next to the wall and kinda on it. i could NEVER get on a stage or walk in a field of grass or just any big open floor without holding onto someone. can someone please give me some info on this phobia and how i can get over it?
