Completely - I never used to have a phobia of heights

When did it happen? Also what triggered it?

Last year. I've done lots of Go Ape (tree rope courses) type things previously but I did one and freaked out.
I think it's my ankles getting weaker with age. Now I feel more vulnerable and less invincible, even though I knew I was wearing a harness.
