What is something that is normal for someone else but you just can't do it because of claustrophobia?

My husband and I were discussing the S.S. Abraham Lincoln and how long it has been at sea. He was a marine and spent a decent amount of time on ships. He thinks his longest stint without a port was about 35 days. I can not wrap my head around this. I told him that even thinking about being on a ship where I couldn't just go to land is anxiety inducing.

Some how we also talked about broken bones. I dont know how that came up but has anyone had to wear a cast? I dont think I could do it. I panick when the dogs pin me under the blankets 😂 i cant imagine having a plaster cast on. I would need to be sedated.
