I have phobia of heights and its gets worst as i think about it more.
How many of u suffer from anxiety attacks? Phobia?
Anxiety attacks are quiet different from a fear of heights, aren't they??I too suffer from anxiety attacks occasionaly but am fine by heights.There's more than one kind of phobia, although I'm not strictly claustrophobic, closed places do make me feel anxious.
So, what are you doing, conducting some sort of a survey?:-)
wooooooooooooooaaaah nice nick, Silver...
To overcome any fear u have to live that fear furqan
Try bungee jumping a few times, u'll be over in no time.

whats fear of open spaces?
anxiety attacks are very different to fears, a fear of something may cause an anxiety attack, but anxiety itslef is a whole other issue.
I have a phobia of rodents and cats. That's about it.
I have a phobia of blonde wigs & hairy women...:D
I forgot .. I also have a phobia of ‘men’ who can’t speak proper english, i.e. those who use “da” instead of ‘the’. Really people, is it asking too much? I guess so. :halo:

lol..hey now im sure mehnazq looks pretty darn cute in her lil blonde wig..though not too sure abt the hairy part..
Well, one may get an anxiety attack looking at something for which they have phobia so yes, they can be related.
I have “cockroach or insect phobia”. Although, my mom tells me that when I was small, I used to collect all the insects and larvas from the lawn in my palm, bring to her and open the palm infront of her eyes and she would scream 
Now I cant stand the sight of these things. Give me anxiety attacks.
well apart from phobia’s of height etc…
I was talking a more about anxiety disorder such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or Agoraphobia! These panic attacks occur at night time only 
Scared of sunsets and night time!
Maybe you should try some Xanax. .. otherwise try to slowly get rid of your fear by gradually exposing yourself to greater heights..
Furqan - No they do not occur at night time only. They can be any time during the day or night. I think main cause is a weak "nervous" system or a temporary weak status of the nervous system.
PS: Dont take any stupid medication to cure. They have worse side effects than the good they do to you. Take herbs or natural remedies if you really need to. Better yet..... SLEEP!!!
wtf is xanax? lol i aint taking that sh*T
they occur in daylight also but not that much cuz i am always busy with stuff...they usually occur when i sit down and have nothing to do..or when sunsets.....da more i think about it..the worst they get! so i try not to think about it.........one time i was sitting with my family and all of a sudden i get this attack where i dont know where i am..it kinda feels like i am dreaming or something! then i panic, run outside for fresh air and i feel better...
Have you ever awakened in the middle of the night, suddenly overwhelmed with fear and anxiety? I have been in what I would call a state of denial over the last few months, trying to avoid facing the reality of my situation. All of a sudden, in the middle of the night a few days ago, I awoke with everything I had been avoiding staring me straight in the face.
As I lay there, despair seemed to pour down upon me, and I felt as though I were falling down a deep well. I realized I couldn't lay there any longer, so I got up, and made myself a cup of coffee. I took the coffee outside and sat in a chair. The problems washed over me and I cried and cried.
Eventually, I calmed and went back inside. I sat down at my computer and played a couple of games of solitaire, answered a couple of emails, and finally felt up to going back to sleep. It was after 5:00 in the morning.
After sleeping for a few hours, I was able to get up and go through the day, although I remained fragile and close to crying for most of the day. The following day, I made the decision to finally seek counseling, and did start getting help.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because life isn't all joy, peace and harmony. All of the motivational speeches and articles in the world won't help if you can't pull yourself out of where you are.
