Welcome

Siderodromophobia, or fear of trains, is surprisingly prevalent amongst many New York commuters. This common fear of the underground hell that we call the subway may also be contributed by possible phobias such as claustrophobia, social phobia, or germophobia. Symptoms may include physical effects such as shaking, sweating, crying, gagging, twitching, heart palpitations and gastrointestinal symptoms. Other indications may include sudden behavioral disorders when entering the subway or train such as high levels of anxiety, agitation, rage, the sudden urge to punch a stranger or extreme restlessness. This may be treated with cognitive behavioral therapy, where you will be taught to redirect your negative thoughts about trains into positive experiences such as pretending like it never happened. Speaking openly can also be used as a form of therapy, and particularly useful when traced to the moment of psychological trauma. Consider this a safe place of honesty and clean judgement where my century old pal Edna and I discuss our series of unfortunate events witnessed on the subway. Welcome and bless ya hearts.

  3. Only recently noticed how germy the subway is: people are snorting and sneezing and coughing and wheezing all over the place. My new germophobia brought on by the flu obsessions is starting take hold...
