Many people are afraid of height. I fall into this group of people. However my real fear is falling. The feeling for me at height is an overwhelming anxiety. My head spins slightly and I feel as though I am going to be sick. In fact at times I have been. It is really hard for me to know if this is physiological vertigo or anxiety and psychological. I had to reflect on my past. As a very young child I was often travel sick in the car. This was nothing to do with fear or anxiety, motion sickness is a feature of my life. The feeling at height is much the same. So maybe it is a mixture of physiological and psychological response. However the worst thing for fear is avoidance. So I have made a very clear point of trying to do things nd visits at height. This has not overcome the vertigo physical repsonse. It has however overcome my fear of falling from height. ….Like all fears, when I see something high up I want to conquer it. Even though sometimes it makes me feel poorly, vomiting at the top of the CN tower then laying face down on the glass floor doing snow angels…. !!!!!
