Walking across bridges absolutely scares the living daylights out of me  I am even terrified of the ha-penny bridge in dublin
Now at the weekend I'm going to try overcome this by walking across a bridge with a friend of mine. But I literally am having heart palpitations by the thoughts of it but know I need to do this.
Any one else have a fear that terrifies them? |

"How did that fear develop? It sounds like its a serious phobia. I am afraid of people with painted faces "
I slipped and fell on the ha-penny bridge when I was a toddler and thought I was gonna fall in have never walked across a bridge since.
I've heard that fear a few times |

A couple of years ago I used to have to drive a delivery truck across an old wooden bridge to get to a construction site. It would put the fear of God in ya especially when the boards used to start creaking and the ends lifting up. And a good 10 or 15ft drop below |

It's facing your fears that gives you a great adrenalin rush
There's nothing like standing on the edge of a tall building to get a rush of adrenalin
On top of a tower crane is a good one, it has mesh flooring as well so you can see the height right below your feet!

Just take a deep breath, exhale.. look straight ahead as you walk across & before you know it, you will be at the other side!
Good Luck
