In my 20s I developed a fear of escalators because Iād have recurring nightmares about going up a never ending escalator with no railings.
š„¹ Iād be on my knees screaming
I was!!! And this happened a few times a week. I developed a phobia of escalators. Couldnāt do them for like a decade. But then one day my daughter said that she couldnāt go on an escalator, she was too scared. I realized I had projected my unfounded fear onto my kids and that made me pull myself together, to show them there was nothing to worry about.
Thatās both adorable and very adult of you š„¹ā„ļø
I felt terrible that she had absorbed my fear. But I seriously couldnāt do them. Iād find an elevator or take stairs. It was so ridiculous but I would get physically ill on escalators, my knees would buckle, shaking uncontrollably etc. it was so bad. My poor kiddos had to see me like that when they were little.
Isnāt it wild how our brains can trick us into being so terrified of things? To be that scared while everyone else just goes about their lives normally
Right? And I KNEW it was ridiculous but I somehow still couldnāt get past it.
