Whenever I've had to work at heights I've gritted my teeth and got on with it, and the fear goes away. A few weeks after stopping the work it comes back again. I shit myself crossing a bridge these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the rest are figments of your imagination and can be cured by having a word with yourself. Great advice. I had a fear of dying but just had a word with myself and now I’m immortal. Sorted.

I was watching a tv programme about caving in the Yorkshire Dales the other day and the divers had to squeeze through a tiny gap called the cheese press. I was having palpitations just watching them.

It was an old clay mine where the factory and chimney had been demolished but a 40 yard brick tunnel connecting the two remained. It was just wide enough to get your shoulders in and the same height, pitch black and the bottom lined with sharp stones. All you could do was hold onto the boot of the guy in front of you whilst the guy behind held onto yours. I was terrified at the thought of someone having a panic attack and stopping, meaning we'd all be stuck. Found a photo of the slag heaps from the quarry - We had to run up and down those b*****d things before diving into the water - in December. First one in broke the ice.
