Phobia of Heights

[Pyre]

I can look at the photo because, intellectually, I know that there's no danger of me falling from that height. But yes, I can definitely sympathize - I dislike being more than six to ten feet off the ground and anything past that, I start to panic. My local hospital is multiple stories, 12 feet per story, each set back from the last, and they all have glass railings. Guess which side of the balcony that I avoid like the plague?

Well at least if you do take a dive....your in the right place ....wonder if they'd still charge you 400 bucks for the dispatch?

If it's an NHS hospital, you probably avoid the hospital, because it has the plague?

Amirite, England? ;D

I have a phobia of tiles on the floor with pointy 90° edges.

Personally, I love heights. I don't mean I'd love standing on top of a windmill like that, as I'd be shitting my pants due to lack of well...edges, but I love being up high as long as I know I'm relatively "safe." I have been skydiving and bungee jumping a few times and the thrill for both is something I cannot explain in words. You would have to try it to understand.

I get that dizzy sensation and have to back up the first time I look. as long as there is a railing though im good, but if you touch me while i'm looking I'll start tear people apart to get away from the edge. my stepdad did that at this waterfall once and I punched some guy in the chest and pushed over his girlfriend and her friend trying to get away. I don't remember the name of the falls, but I do remember the name of the lodge there. it was called the salish lodge and spa.

No effect.

No people, no barrierless edges, etc.

Vertigo only kicks in with 3D, dontcha know ;D

When I was younger, my older brother grabbed me from behind and hung my upper body over the edge of a multistory car park. Perhaps this is the cause. I can't stand people being anywhere near me when i'm near an edge, I don't like having my back turned to people / empty space (ie, not a wall) and I hate being on the edge of water I can't see the bottom of.
