Absolutely Terrified!!

[Smowball]

Hello strangers! I've volunteered to do something for charity in December, but now I don't know if I can actually go through with it and I was hoping for some help/advice with overcoming the nerves?

I've agreed to abseil 150 feet down a building for charity and it seemed a good idea at the time, but now every time I think about going over that edge at the top I feel actually sick, yet I do not want to pull out and let everybody down. Just don't know what to do to over come this x

Blimey Smow I could never do that.
I am sure you will be fine however xx

Sorry Smow, it would be hypocritical of me to offer advice as I'd be bricking it aswell.

So, just wanted to say, good luck :)

Anticipation is always worse than the event, Smow. Just imagine how cool you'll be when you've done it.

If Fluff can do it... anyone can ... especially as she would have been one-handed; the other hand holding on to a sandwich.

Remember, they can't possibly let anything happen to you. Just think of the mess... and the paperwork ;o)

I think, literally - don't look down and think how great you'll feel as your feet touch the ground.

My brother, who is terrified of heights, agreed to do a bungee jump from a high bridge a few years back. When it came to it, he just couldn't do it (and I don't blame him). I paid him anyway, for having the guts to even think about it.

And don't forget Smow once you've done it you'll have bragging rights and won't ever have to do it again, but if ever the subject comes up you can say with a smug smile "oh it's easy you know,I did the ***** building a few year ago"

go to your GP and confess and ask for a one day supply of valium.
Good luck whatever you decide.
