An Eerie Feeling

United States
September 23, 2016 10:38am CST
First of a little information about me...I have a fear of enclosed areas. It doesn't even have to be enclosed, just something that feels like it's enclosing me or going to "strangle" me. For example, I can't swim, I don't like anything covering my face. With that being said, we were at the lake the other day and sometimes one sees buzzards flying around.Now buzzards are predator birds, so usually when you see a flock of them they've found their prey!! So, here all these buzzards are flying over me, besides the feeling claustrophobic, I'm thinking "I'm not going to be their next prey!!" ~Peace~ photo credit is mine!

Lol you are here now I believe they were shy to take a bite of their new pray or maybe you were claustrophobic while a buzz went pass you and you imagined all that

I can't wear turtle necks for this very reason. Did you feel as if your number was up?

@celticeagle I was breathing as fast as I was running away from the buzzards!! Yeah, I breathe in, breathe out when I get in claustrophobic situations and have anxiety attacks.

The buzzards around here (we call them turkey vultures) are scavengers, rather than predators. But it appears that in many places, what we would call hawks are called buzzards. Hawks are a tad more graceful when they fly than turkey vultures. When we are circled by turkey vultures, we joke: Oh, they think we might not survive this hike.
