anyone with anxiety problems ever gone bungee jumping? :)?
i’m going to be in switzerland near this extremely high bungee jump (one of the highest, i guess?). i’ve never bungee jumped or done anything that "extreme" besides some minimal whitewater rafting, rock climbing, skiing, etc. i’m not even afraid of a cord malfunction or anything like that, i’m just afraid i’ll totally freak out and die of a heart attack on the way down! is it possible for a young, healthy person to freak out so much they have a heart attack? i wouldn’t mind the freaking out part, it’s just the dying that scares me. i heard somewhere you shouldn’t bungee jump if you have panic attacks.. which i do, but actually only on a small scale. i would think it would be kind of a cool conquering-your-fears type of thing, but i don’t want to do it if it’s not safe for me (mentally). i hate the thought of my fear of my fear inhibiting me from living life to the fullest. i hope this makes sense! any thoughts?

I have panic attacks but not when it comes to heights, so it was fine. I was nervous- but it happens so fast, you don’t really have time to panic. Good times.
