Anyone here claustrophobic?

i started getting claustrophobic a few years ago. I don't know what brought it on, but thinking about being restrained with something like handcuffs gives me a bit of anxiety. I also regularly take 12-15 hour flights and a few years ago i started to get pretty worked up about them. its mainly during the boarding process and the waiting for takeoff. I almost had to get off a flight because i was so anxious and sweating so much. There was a bit of deep breathing going on to get me through that one. don't know why it started, no event in particular that i can recall.
 
What's ironic is how many when faced with keeping their phobia or trying something that might actually help, choose to just keep the phobia.
