I have developed a fear of heights that has interfered with my ability to enjoy my favorite winter sport...snow skiing. The anxiety produced when confronted with height creates what is near panic.

Chronic anxiety, social phobias, post-traumatic stress syndrome, etc. are normal parts of the day-to-day life, and it is necessary to learn how to get rid of them rather than living with them.

That is how OCD works. That is why a psychologist who teaches cognitive behavioral therapy would be in your best interest. You really don't know how to counter these thoughts. You need to learn how to stop them when they start and not let them go on and on leading you to the catastrophizing thought. It is pretty amazing how our mind can latch on to something and trick us. That is what it is really...a trick of the mind that puts us at war with ourselves.
