ACROPHOBIA






Have seen this? or...
Have you been here?

People in Metro Manila are familiar with the MMDA's Pink Overpass...




Last week i went to Pag-Ibig Fund in Atrium Building, Makati Avenue, City of Makati. From Cavite, i have to ride MRT. I got the chance to walk in MMDA's pink Overpass. It's a good project from MMDA but i really felt nervous walking there because it's open at the side and i felt i might fall... or i just have fear of heights. hehehe!

According to wikipedia what i felt is...

Acrophobia (from the Greek: ἄκρον, ákron, meaning "peak, summit" and φόβος, phóbos, "fear") is an extreme or irrational fear of heights. It belongs to a category of specific phobias, called space and motion discomfort that share both similar etiology and options for treatment.

Acrophobia can be dangerous, as sufferers can experience a panic attack in a high place and become too agitated to get themselves down safely.
