This morning in my Intro to Technical Theatre class, we were practicing hanging lighting instruments. We were taking turns, one person hangs the light, focuses it, then takes it down and hands it to the next person who climbs the ladder, hangs the light, and so on and so forth.
Well, my turn comes up. The ladder is a tall one, but not THAT tall, so I climbed it and we were supposed to stand on the top rung and do it because the grid is pretty high, but I got about 3 rungs from the top and started panicking and hyperventilating and shaking so bad that my professor told me to come back down. I got back on the floor and started crying! I felt so lame
I freaked out, even though one guy was holding the ladder and there was another guy right beside me on a separate ladder holding the light!
To make it worse, I had people telling me "Wow, I didn't think you were scared of anything!"
I didn't know I was THAT afraid of heights, either!
