    When they started the elevator up I was done already. Nope I'm already done. I'd need sedated to be able to do it. This makes me so uncomfortable watching.

    This is actually me. I was terrified of heights prior to the help, support and guidance from the tv show. I was however able to return to The Orbit the following year and complete a freefall abseil off the top of the building.

      I've not been able to watch the full episode. What help is there other than forcing yourself to do it? I'm currently not able to deal with heights at all including the ladder to my loft and can't seem to force myself to do it

      Hi David
      Thank you for your message. We tackled each height gradually over 4 days using distraction techniques. It did feel uncomfortable however confronting the fear whilst using distraction seemed to work. It was recognising that you're actually safe and not in danger. Far from easy if you have a phobia so I fully understand how you feel.

      My fear of heights only triggers when I see people playing with their lives, like riding a BMX on a rooftop of a 100 metre tall building, or climbing stuff that's 500+ metres tall and standing on the edge.

    The most I’ve done is stayed on the 6th floor of a hotel. I get really uneasy at anything more than that. For me, I don’t like ascending or descending lots of flights of stairs it triggers panic and vertigo. I don’t much like escalators either due to claustrophobia, but that’s another subject 😂

    I have a great fear of heights 🙃. And yesterday i started work as a mechanic in a construction company. Were making a tunnel for a subway about 80 feet under ground. Today was my first time going down to it. Its about 8 steel ladders like you would see in fire escapes. I grew some balls and went all the way down 😏 and at the end of the day i had to obviously climb up. I did it and feel very accomplished with myself. I hope i eventually get rid of the fear 😨. Because this i really good job that 8 dont want to loose because of me being a pussy

      Youre absolutely not being wimpy just because you have a fear I'm scared of open air heights myself such as situations where I don't feel safe or like I can't escape down to the ground if I needed to but I'm okay with rooftops and stuff but hey buddy just please don't ever feel bad for being human okay? I do hope you work it out someday :)

      Doesn't mean they can't be afraid, there has been many cases where safety ropes have snapped. Stop being an immature, inconsiderate jerk. I doubt that you're completely free from fears.
