I just read a really scary article that makes me even more frightened of elevators now, not good. A man got stuck in a elevator for 41 hours on his own and it changed his life, certainly not for the best. I watched the footage from th CCTV Camera and it was AWFUL. This man said he contemplated death. His elevator was stuck in between the 48 and 49th stories.

This was said in the article, Im glad Im not crazy :
People don’t like to ride in elevators or wait for them. Many people can’t even get in one, or would really rather not. “They’re not psychotic,” Jerilyn Ross, a cognitive-behavioral therapist in Washington and the president of the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, said recently. “It’s just a misfiring of the fight-or-flight response.” Elevator phobia is a kind of claustrophobia, and as such the fear is as much of experiencing fear-of having a panic attack, in an enclosed space-as it is of the thing itself. One of Ross’s board members is David Hoberman, who produced the television series “Monk,” several episodes of which have touched on Detective Monk’s elevator phobia. “I have it,” Hoberman said recently. “It’s for real. I avoid elevators at all costs.” His least favorite are the ones in small doctors’-office buildings, in the Valley.
