Seldom,
It struck me reading your post that it was a younger you that was hurt and frightened by the locked door and all the possibilities that it "might" mean. That is why logic flew out the window. I understand these non-rational reactions. I probably would have left so you are braver than I .Months ago, probably 6 months ago, I entered my t's waiting area which is always empty to discover a man sitting there. Well it just plain scared me. I stammered something about when was his appointment and he said he was waiting for his wife. I had a drink with me, that I spilt due to my nervousness.
To this day, I still peek around the corner to make sure the waiting room is empty. Logically I should be ok with it, but the littles inside are scared to run into someone else or that T might forget we always come at 11:15 on Monday and schedule someone else because we are not all that important. Rational no, but it is there and remains there. Even after about 5-6 months.
I really related with your fear and don't think it is all that illogically.
Give yourself a hug. here is one from me ((((((((((Seldom)))))))))))))))))))))))
