I have a fear of heights ... recently it has been getting worse. I am ok if it is a secure area, like I went to the top of the empire state building and that was fine because there was no risk of me falling off. But things like ladders, roller coasters/amusement park rides, ski lifts, etc all scare me.
For some reason it is getting worse. This weekend I had to go on a very tall, thin escalator and as it got higher I started having a panic attack because I kept getting intrusive images of myself losing my balance and falling. Then I got light-headed and started to lose my balance because I was panicking ...
Wondering why it is getting worse all of a sudden ...
