Spiders, and a little claustrophobia (sm)

I don't mind spiders as long as I can see where they are - I set them free if they ever are in my house but I am scared of them - used to be terrified of them. Claustrophobic as in I am always looking for a "way out" if I am in traffic crammed between two cars or if I am ever sitting at a table with a wall to my back and lots of people sitting on both sides of me, I get panicky if I don't see a way to get up and out of I need to. Don't like anyone sitting on my covers if I am covered up, etc. But I made it through my MRI by using visualization and picturing myself being somewhere else the whole 45 minutes.

Speaking of spiders sm
We have a friend that just can't kill any living thing (I have no problem stepping on a spider, so sue me)anyway, she found a spider as she was getting in the shower, with a towel wrapped around her she went to set it free outside her back porch. Her hubby grabbed the towel, pushed her out, and locked the door. They were not in an overly populated neighborhood, but neighbors on each side could see. She says next time, she will just step on the spider.
I used to be afraid of spiders, but not anymore.
When you fight for space in a home, you get over the fear. If they aren't too "fast", I catch them and put them outside. Not afraid of anything else except heights. Can't even get on a step stool.
I was a tomboy growing up and played with all kinds of insects and bugs except spiders. Even brought home a garter snake, bat, and mouse as a house pets. Can't imagine why my mom was so upset. 
Crickets, airports (not planes), spiders, losing my kids...
