How does your fear, trauma, of claustrophobia trigger?

I struggle with transport, even just being in a shop, my fear of being trapped in a social situation triggers.

It's so bad that I can't even meet someone in a 1-on-1 meeting without huge amount of anxiety about not being able to leave without them point it out or finding it weird

    The worst part is that you get Anxious KNOWING that you will get anxious.
    It is horrible.
    Viscious circle.
    The only way is to do a little bit by bit until your subconcious realises that there is no threat and the fight or flight response 
    will re-set itself. No,not easy, but you have to do it little by little. You will get there. I promide.

    Thanks. I did 10 years of commuting into London and it's just got worse as time has gone on. I now can't even make myself get on a train. Really tried to this morning but just couldn't do it. Not sure why but even a 10 min journey seems to trigger my fear response
