I'm afraid of heights. Well...actually afraid is a bit mild, I have full-blown panic attacks. The strange thing is, I love roller coasters, and have no problem on them, no matter how high they are, but it is only recently that I was able to force myself to ride escalators. And I can only step on the down escalator if I'm not looking down. I can't climb high ladders without starting to shake, or look over the side railings of staircases, and when driving across a bridge I have to be on the inside lane and white knuckle it until I'm across. But...I have no trouble flying and love to sit in the window seat on planes. My fear of heights is totally bizarre and arbitrary and without logic or reason.
