I'm bummed. I thought the "arch enemies" comment would get at least a couple of boos.

Or even threats.

Trust me, DA, you don't need the reinforcement.

I'm with you. I can go up higher floors, but I can't even look inside an elevator or think about being in one without getting light headed and feeling sick. It's affected looking for jobs, I've passed on plenty of fun vacations, and other things. I'd love to go on a cruise but I couldn't handle having to take an elevator.

I HATE elevators, when I'm in one I'm grasping the railing like it's a white knuckle ride. If it's glass I'm keeping my eyes closed and if part of it is glass I shut my eyes or turn my back.
Unfortunately my job requires that I use them frequently. I think I don't just have acrophobia, I have a huge fear of falling. I just don't know the official phobia term for that. Those trust games? Sorry, I don't trust anyone. I've completely come apart on high ropes courses, climbing walls, anything like that. I just can't manage them.

How are you on bridges over water? I white knuckle it every time I am on a tall/long bridge. Several years ago, I got stuck in traffic on one of the bridges that connects Indiana and Kentucky (over the Ohio River). I was stuck on the middle of the bridge for over an hour. I spent the entire time trying to figure out what I would do it the bridge started to give. I would die if I had to drive on the bridges that lead to Key West.

Ditto for me. I can't imagine driving over the Ambassador Bridge (from Detroit to Windsor). I take the tunnel. Claustrophobic friends of mine say "HOW can you take the tunnel???" Well, I prefer it to the bridge, for sure (although neither is very fun). I had to drive the Mackinac bridge one time and it was rainy. I stayed in the most center lane that I could and just stared straight ahead the whole time. I was a mess. They do have people to drive for you if you really freak, from what I hear, but that just seems like it would be so humiliating.
