Acrophobia
Thursday 19th October
I’ve been invited by the BBC to appear on a programme undergoing therapy for my fear of heights.
On the positive side I get to tell the nation that my mother cruelly* hung me out of a window by my ankles when I was two.
On the negative side I get to poop my pants several times in front of millions of viewers.
Shame I’m not the kind of person who does things in front of people - it’d be quite interesting if it wasn’t being filmed.
* ok, it was that or almost-certain death/disfigurement**; I forgive her!
** who said they thought I was disfigured? come on, own up…
Go for it and never look back*
or should that be never look down….`

Go on, do it! In the words of Baz Luhrman, do one thing everyday that terrifies you.

i hate heights BIGTIME
i had considered a parachute jump as part of PLAN X but i don’t think i can do it.
i think you should do this and i wish you luck. you will be safe at all times of course, of that there’s no doubt, but i really hope that they don’t make you do anything too gusset damaging just because it’s on telly.
well done!

You gotta go for it! Better to regret something you’ve done, than something you haven’t done…

Do you suffer from a fear of height or a fear of falling from those heights?
I have a fear of heights that are attached to the ground but have no problem with unattached height such as flying, so my fear is more to do with either myself or the building/bridge/roller coaster falling.
