I Am Scared of Heights

You Won't Get Me Up There... I have always had this fear as far back as I can remember if I climb a ladder for instance I know immediately if I have gone to high because I just freeze and find that I can not move at all. And then if I make the mistake of looking down that's it the dizziness starts. So I try my best at all costs to keep away from high places because the last time I got stuck the fire service had to get me down and that was very embarrassing.

I'm petrified of heights, and bridges...tall bridges. I have the worst panic attacks when confronted with heights. I was climbing a ladder out of a cliff dwelling once and had the same reaction...got so far up and then just froze. I was with friends though so they literally got below and above me and just gave me the security to move, but it took a while. I can really sympathize with you. It's awful!
