I’ve always since I can remember been terrified of heights. I can’t walk over high bridges or go on things such as walkways/edges...basically anything I can fall off however impossible it may seem to a rational person.
I’ve avoided heights all of my life and not really had to change much however I have moved to a rural location and the only way to get anywhere by foot is to walk over various motorway bridges. Literally every direction involves those horrible metal single track bridge things that I can’t bring myself to step onto and now my child is copying and crying when we walk up to them no matter how hard I try and hide it! My husband is also getting annoyed because he does not see why I can’t just walk over it. I can’t even walk to the pub because it’s on the other side of one 
I’m resorting to driving over them, getting out and continuing my walk which is completely and utterly rediculous but I physically can not step onto one. It’s like my feet are stuck to the floor!!
How can I get over this!! I can’t spend the next 30 years not walking out of my village for fear of walking over a bloody bridge
