Am I claustrophobic or what’s wrong with me.

So I’ve heard about people with claustrophobia and lately I feel like I have signs of being claustrophobic, to the point that I can’t sleep with my partners being too close or hugging me, as if I can’t escape. I have to tell my partners that I need space when I sleep and they usually feel offended.

I don’t like small spaces. When I tried on a wedding dress it was so hard to put it on and I felt trapped in the dress. I wanted to put it on right away so I didn’t felt trapped. The idea of being in a situation where I can’t move or breathe makes me uncomfortable. I’m okay with being inside an elevator, but if it’s in a place like a coffin I will be scared to death and probably have anxiety.

Are all these signs of claustrophobia?

I feel that way about wedding dresses too. Really any dress that costs more than my rent.
