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.
