How can I get over my fear of elevators?

[ralphlauren]

They never bothered me until I was stuck in one. Now I have anxiety if I think I might have to get in one.
I hate this feeling.

I'm no help. I was in the escalator accident in DC during/after the John Stewart rally and now I'm terrified of both escalators and elevators.

I'm sorry, I hate the feeling too.

I am no help, because i have the same fear. If something os on the 12th floor, my ass is climbing the stairs. I have a few drs appts that i have to use the elevator and i always call someone if i have to go alone. Yes, i am that lame. Lol

Get trapped in one with McSteamy.

Seriously, focusted CBT therapy with someone who specialized in phobias can be very helpful.

Always have your cell phone with you when you get into one.
Always look for the alarm button as soon as you get in.
Don't get in if it's too crowded or get out if it gets too crowded.
If you're afraid to be alone in one, find a buddy to go with.
