How do I stop myself from being scared of height?
It's getting more ridiculous because, lately, I'm not even brave enough to step onto an escalator that's for going down. I have this anxious feeling of, what if I fall, lose my balance?
There's one scary experience for me. The escalator that I was on suddenly stopped moving 😢I nearly fell. It's since that day my fear of height becomes real
Is there a way to stop this anxious feeling every time I need to use an escalator (that's for going down)?

@trueconfidant123 hi there,
I see we've experienced something similar with escalator🥲. It's such an upleasant feeling, I start to avoid escalator 😞I prefer to use normal stairs but they're not always available. Anxiety sucks, vertigo also sucks. I hope by the time goes by, I'll be able to fix this, thank you a lot for your kind messages 💕
@hopefulencounter
You're welcome. I'm always here for you. 🩷
@trueconfidant123 😭💕 i'm happy

If you prefer to take the steps rather than the escalator, you will get more exercise than most!!
I heard that there is a place in the middle of Africa (probably Zambia) with an escalator, which is considered a major attraction there.
There are also some videos of dogs who obviously feel the same way you do, so no matter their sizes, they end up being carried up or down the escalators.
How do you feel about flying or going up a ladder? Maybe you got some problems with that as well?
@Fradiga that's an interesting fact, thanks for sharing it with me. I don't have trouble when going up, I'm fine with it. But since gojng down involved looking down, that's why I'm worried..
@hopefulencounter
Then, if there is someone going down as well and staying on their step, you might just place yourself just behind them, as a preventive measure.

I have the same fear as you and honestly I have not tried anything, so thank you for making this post! it makes me feel less alone about my fears too ❤️☺️
