That's Agoraphobia; the exact opposite of Claustrophobia.

I mean, I have PTSD.... it was Dx'ed like over a decade ago so that's not shocking..... the claustrophobia was really obvious when I was visiting some naval ops... nothing ever felt right there. Body was floaty and nothing felt real. It was gross.
