Question:

Moment of Fear - Standing in a balcony?

Hi there ,
This happened recently when I was standing in the balcony of a friends house - some 17th floor , and i was looking down ,observing the perfect curve of the building .
At some moment , a strong urge to jump came from within , I could still feel the impulse of that moment . My legs were shaking ...I felt like I would not control myself ! I immediately went away from the balcony to be with my friends .
I didnt know what hapepned .
I didnt get adequate sleep for 2 days and all that I slept for 6 hrs for 2 days . Needless to say I was tired .

What is this guys ? Why am I not able to controlt hsi urge ? This is the first time happening to me , I am 22 now .
Should I see a pyschiatrist ?

You're just jealous of the birds, that's all. =)

The mind is a tricky thing and thinks many crazy and weird things. Personally, if people knew what I was thinking half the time, I wouldn't have as many friends. lol Its perfectly normal to think things be-young what you'd ever expect. Just relax and try not to think about that. If you can't sleep than maybe try a different sleeping schedule. I've noticed that I can't sleep at night anymore (for personal reasons). So maybe sleeping at 12pm will help better than 12am? If this problem keeps bothering you and you can't seem to get rid of the thoughts, then maybe a counselor or a therapist would help?

Good luck & I hope you get passed this! Don't let it beat you down.

P.S. Don't listen to michelebaruch! You can't be afraid of heights for the rest of your life. You can fight this fear of yours!! DO NOT RUN FROM YOUR PROBLEMS!! You can do it! Just believe in yourself.

You could even go bungee jumping if you think that would help. I heard it's fun so doing that could get rid of these thoughts.
