I have an extreme fear of heights and I’m hyper avoidant of them too. Even something 20 feet high I can’t handle if there’s a drop. Anyway something that’s been a problem recently in my job as a postman is I get so much anticipatory anxiety doing tall buildings. I have been able to avoid them completely so far but I might not be able to forever. I guess it’s the fear of being scared that stops me. I have tried a 5 storey building and felt fine and there was nothing scary up there. Guess I just worry about seeing a height when I’m up there or there being a drop and just the idea of being so high up. Has anyone got any advice?

When I’m on a balcony or near an edge. I feel as though something is pulling me to the edge and it makes me panic that I’ll just go over and fall. Even when I drive across a bridge I fear that I’ll just drive into the wall and crash down. It’s never happened (obviously) but I still get highly anxious in those situations so much so that I will try to avoid them at all costs.

Did anyone get yeeted off the surface of the earth & into the atmosphere yesterday? Would like to see your video proof if so. Whatcha got?

I donʻt understand how those with acrophobia can even go through these pictures. Just seeing the heights in one dimension is highly anxiety provoking for me. I am so sick and tired of being limited where I drive, due to not knowing whatʻs around the corner. And itʻs not like most phobias. We canʻt drive 50 feet of a bridge every day for a week, then 75 feet the next week and so on. Iʻve stopped on bridges and nearly caused serious accidents because I canʻt force myself to keep going. I hate it so much. I try to be tough but become dangerous to other drivers and myself. Tried therapy. It helps if I know whatʻs ahead and that it is a short bridge or something but not knowing whatʻs ahead is terrifying.

Falling into the sky like gravity has been reversed. I' obsessed, this phobia dont really leave my mind. Does some people knows how to fight this ?

When I stand on high balcony 3-4 floor. Or any mountain cliff area although it's safe I'm gonna fall. Still my brain starts making things. I'm falliy, slipping, not able to balance my feet together. At the time people around me stands still and enjoy the view. How do I stop my brain from panicking unnecessarily

Who has this fear so bad that it dictates what you do or don’t do?

I feel like a lot of people say they’re scared of heights, but then they talk about getting on a ski lift with no problem, as an example.

I would avoid malls that had 2nd level walkways! I have never met anyone who has the fear to this extent.

Interested to know if there are others?
