Being scared of heights / vertigo

[Paris]

Does anyone else suffer from this?

I had a particularly bad episode today whilst out for a walk.

Walking over a bridge, with a canal on one side and then a main road below. I got about a few steps in and had to turn back. I bet the people who were walking towards me must have thought that I was a complete wuss, and I admit that I was. Pretty embarrassing.

I’ve lost my bottle absailing once, legs just started shaking.

I also lost a bet with the pilot when I was in the navy and he took me up in a Lynx helicopter and scared the life out of me.

I can't even watch people on YouTube climbing tall buildings.

I think most Evertonians get a touch of vertigo these days when we’re near the top

Don’t particularly have any phobias except from making a fool of myself at a social occasion. Which is fairly rational I think

I've had a fair few dreams where I have super bad vertigo, like to the point I'm crawling on the ground to get back to safety. In the real world I have never had that issue. I've been across the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede, which I assume would be a no go for people with vertigo and enjoyed it.

Hate to be a pedant but vertigo is not a fear of heights. It's a sensation of movement when you are still.

Yeh mate it’s horrible. Hate rollercoasters and Peter crouch. Nothing worse than getting shaky legs and a feeling like your going to fall.

That is true to be fair. Have a knack of putting my foot in it

The weird thing is I don't mind rollercoasters or flying.

Remember as a young Kid going to the top of the high dive board in New Brighton, looked down, decided against it and climbed the ladder of shame back down......
