How to get rid of fear of heights?
Question:
And don't say don't look down, cuz i cannot resist it, I always get curious and look down. Even if its a few feet on the monkey bars, I get scared to death.
Once, we were up somewhere real high and my dad was taing some pics, and I was crying in the pictures because I was extremely frightened. i mean, there was a highway with cars beneath us, and behind that was the atlantic ocean, and I kept crying and thinking about the ocean swallwing up everything. I can't help it!
So what do i DO? :(
Answers:
Go to high places over and over again it will help your mind adjust to the stress and you won't get scared take someone with you find something funny to think about, and soon all your fears will be gone it could take years but at least you won't freak out on the Farris wheel as much
Systematic desensitization is your best bet as far as a treatment approach for addressing your fear of heights.
Well, I had a bad fear of heights so I went downhill skiing. The first few times up the chair lift were terrifying but I slowly got used to it. Then I had to look down to ski so I had to get used to being high up. It's not a great cure but it worked for me.
