What is actually happening when we feel a tingling sensation or an urge to jump for people who are afraid of heights? Why is it hard to want to look over the edge of something that is tall?

I have vertigo.

When I see a huge dropoff I can feel my blood leaving my head, I get shaky and my legs as well. Its like an imaginary rock inside my body that just falls from my head to my toes.

Being shaky, fearing the worst plus the added intrusive thoughts from something called “call of the void”, I just know that I cant trust my mind or body near anything that I could conceivably break through or jump over. At that point I am my worst enemy and its a life or death situation.

Its really not something Id wish upon anyone that havent felt it.
