    Re: Phobia's!

    I'm not good with heights. Unfortunately I didn't figure this out until I was climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge!! I was absolutely petrified and the climb took 3 hours.
    Fortunately my sister was with me and talked me through it calmly for the whole time.
    The fact that they had mesh walkways up onto the bridge didn't help, and the cars below the bridge looked like matchbox ones.
    Everyone else was admiring the view, and the only thing I could concentrate on was my breathing
    I'm glad I managed to do it, but NEVER, EVER AGAIN!!!!

    OK, I know it's wierd, but I have a phobia of churches
    It's wierd how something can make you so terrified... especially when others get such comfort from it.

    Sparkles, when you consider the first time you go to a church they try and drown you at the font.

    then in later life you go there in a white dress, on a day when you spend a fortune, put yourself into permanent debt, and you are given a life sentence!

    No wonder these places scare you!

    My wife is fobic about wasps. And bees. Actually anything that is small buzzes and could be a stinging insect... Out one day pushing the pram and got buzed by a wasp; scream, flail, run. Pram goes trundle, trundle, thump, crash. Occupant goes "Waaaaa!". No-one hurt, but she now puts the break on before running screaming

    Not to mention that the last time you go in there they are likely to throw earth over you!

    I have a problem with heights. I'm ok flying, but peering over the edge of things I find unnerving.

    Dear you hear about the agrophobic skinhead?.....he said "Oi you, inside, now!"



    For those with a fear of heights, may I offer you some crumb of comfort. It's not the height that kills you, it's hitting the ground!

    Depends how high you get, as your head could exploded (imploded?) with the pressure!

    Only if you superglue your mouth, nose and ears closed... I suppose it depends on the rate of decompression, but by that point I think you would have died due to oxygen depravation.

    (what a plesant turn of conversation... )

    Thats really brave. i couldn't have gotten two feet off the ground! I hate heights and i have always known it!

    Just out of curiousity, do you think that your fears can stem from those around you! Ie my sister is afraid of spiders, my mum is afraid of heights and flying! And these are the things I am afraid of!

    Funnily enough my dad has a fear of heights, but I was never bothered by it until I was 23. It has been a gradual thing over the past couple of years, but I notice it getting worse the older I get.
