hi, i'm 17 and ever since i can remember i've been terrified of heights, when i was about 12 i developed a fear of buildings and high ceilings as a result and because at my old heigh school people thought i was lying it's been allowed to get worse.

I'm still trying to figure out how i can help myself.

Love ualani

Hi Lani

Welcome to the site.

I hate heights too - it is quite a common phobia.

Apparently the best way to get over it is exposure - but that is not easy because you put yourself in the situation that you dread.

Have you considered hypnotherapy - not sure if that would help or not?

I hope you get some help on here as well.

Thanks, it's nice to have people who understand, my mum tries, but i can't help feeling that she's a little disappointed. I'm off to the doctors again on thursday to talk about Meniere's disease and get my ear pressure tested, to see if that's the reason for everything.
