Phobias

[Big Ben]

Hello boys and girls,

I was thinking of a new topic... phobias. Who's having what and what do you do about it?

I can say that I'm cursed with acrophobia or fear of heights as it is more commonly known. My flat is at the 9th floor so there you go.... my first inconvenience. I don't feel comfortable in my own balcony. Then there's my passion for aviation. I must admit I love airplanes.... but I'm a nervous flyer because of... well yes of course... acrophobia. I can't wait to get back on a plane but I don't really enjoy it as much as I would like to because I'm so stressed... maybe that's part of the experience, the reason why I like it so much... cause what's common experience to so many is like the equivalent of bungee jumping to me. Anyway, the whole thing is freakin' weird.

And there are the things I can't do because of this fear. For instance, I thing I would like to do some mountaineering, something easier, not the Himalayas or the Karakorams , like the Alps .

Anyway it's quite a pain in the you know what and I don't really see any way out of it.

Well I cant think of any off hand that I suffer from.

I used to be scared of Wasps, but since becoming a gardener I come face to face with them in the summer so I am not as worried by them any more.

That some nut with a concealed carry permit will start shooting it up and killing......hey, it happened this week.

So the good guys according to some of the forum members are not so good. To all you URPEENS you better stay put. High Noon is coming.

I'm fearful that the black helicopters that circle the houses of nutters will catch a reflection off their tin foil hats and crash in my direction. Not to mention any names or anything.

acrophobia I have this sh!t bad! The funny thing is that I am a pilot as well. Flying small planes give me no problem. If I had to stand on the rim of the Grand Canyon I am sure I would slip in my own sh!t and go straight over the cliff. Oh yea - high rise balcony no good for me.

That is why I live in Arizona - No permit necessary - carry however you want to.
