re: #360 wrenchwench

My fear of heights would come and go. Eventually I found it was PMS related. Then it went away. Now I fear crossing streets. That’s going away, too. I’d offer advice, but it would be something dumb like, ‘Just wait. It might go away.’

Mine flared up HARD during a hike in Yellowstone about 7 years ago and has been very difficult to deal with since then. We’re doing a hike in the Sierras this weekend and I am turning into a ball of anxiety about it. I have found the elevation profile for the hike (the part I can’t skip/avoid) and tried my best to play with Google Earth at the worst spot on that to see how bad I think it will be and honestly it should be doable.

But trying to get the physiological responses to calm down is a different matter.
