Hope I’m not the only one, but stairs give me extreme anxiety! I just stare at them first so I can convince myself just to go up, and when I’m finally up I feel like I’m going to die because I can feel my heart and it freaks me out, and it’s not like it’s a lot it’s just one flight… Stupid anxiety, stupid stairs

Honestly that’s weird to me. I couldn’t imagine someone having this problem. I used to be not able to walk for a few years as a child. Because of this my left leg is still underdeveloped, flat foot, shorter length, weaker, etc. But I still don’t get any anxiety on stairs, even after spectacular case of psychosis.
Maybe it will make you feel better about yourself to know that I had other extreme problems that are similar in nature to your anxiety.
I used to consider myself a killer when I ate vegetables. I used to not eat for weeks. When I eventually gave in and started to cut some tomatoes on a board, I cried from grief and self-loathing.
Before psychosis, I wore silver chain around my neck, expensive wrist watch, and imported french business suit. After psychosis, I feel disgusted with unnecessary expensive items. All I can wear is T-shirts and jeans. I feel extremely disgusted by business attire, and no longer wear any of it.
I feel disgusted with money. I can’t hold more than an equivalent of ten dollars in my hands. Otherwise I start to shake, twitch, moan and lose balance.
I hope you feel less alone after reading about my experiences. Find a way to think about stairs differently.
