I'm not so big on heights. If there was a guard rail I might be ok. As that place stands I could picture myself ok by just looking forward and at the path but not down. Then you get to the I-beams where the walkway has deteriorated. Man that is scary. Imagine getting up there and then having a dizzy spell?
I knew this girl who lived over a store and you had to go up stairs and walk on the roof to get to her apt. I always wanted to jump off the roof. Heights make me crazy like that.
I get vertigo from looking down over edges too, strange though ,its only the looking down part, if i look forward or up its fine. Something with the view. I also get a strange reaction when my eyes/head gets close to a wall.
I only have an issue if I am high up, looking at something else that is higher. Like on the observation deck of the empire state building, then looking up at the needle on the roof. Makes me kind of loopy. These I took from the deck. The last one is looking up at the spire, or whatever it is called. The unresized images are pretty huge, If anyone would like a 'full-size' let me know, its about 1.2mb or so.
I get that sometimes it’s like a premonition of something happening that I disagree with but it’s happening anyways beyond my control. That’s the way I describe it. In other words for instance if I were on that walkway I would keep picturing in my imagination as if to make a joke looking back at the others and saying something stupid like. "Hey guys watch this" or "And here is the quickest way down". And then I imagine every little detail the wind in my face, a breath of fresh air, light as a feather, skin abrading off the side of my leg as I scrape the side for the first time and try to push off going into a violent spin, A metallic acid taste in my mouth as my head pounds a rock for the first time. All in like a split second.
