I'll pass. I have enough problems with height as it is.

You? I had to stop reading the story..I felt tingly and faint at the thought.

What is weird about the phobia is that I have climbed 14 4,000' mountains and flown six type of aircraft, but there is something about an "edge effect" or whatever that when lacking aluminum or granite between me and the abyss, I just fold up and get completely, gibbering terrified.....There. I admitted it. In pink.

Don't feel bad, I couldn't even look at the drawing without feeling ill.

The "edge effect" is the perfect description for that feeling! I don't feel so alone after reading this thread.

Ha! You and me, both.

I love to fly but watching a movie with people hanging from a building makes me sweat.

I could never walk out onto this thing. Glass floor?
