About Acrophobia

Acrophobia is an extreme fear of heights. I have a little bit of acrophobia. If I go to high places, I can’t open my eyes. When I visited Canada, I was uncomfortable on the flight. I couldn’t sleep and wake up. I was so nervous. I felt that the flight would crash to the ground. I was even uncomfortable when I rode at an amusement park. While I ascended in a balloon, it was terrible. When I was a little girl, it got worse. My mom forced me to ride a cable car like other kids, I felt unconscious. Unfortunately, there is no exact treatment about acrophobia. If I want to get rid of my acrophobia, I should make an effort. I heard from someone that I should not be afraid of going to high places. If I try to go to high places, about 10 % of my acrophobia will disappear. What I should remember is that I try to look at the lower place about 10 minutes at least when I go to high places. It is the best way to get rid of my acrophobia. If I do so, about 50% of acrophobia will decrease. I hope I would ride at an amusement park with my boyfriend tomorrow.
