I’m not working on conquering my gephyrophobia.  I’m just not into it – right now.  It’s been lifelong and I’ve adapted and have found that not driving over large bridges hasn’t been too much of a hindrance….that I know of.  It’s more irksome that I can’t do what  most people can.

If you’ve read some of my other posts you’ll learn I’ve attempted to walk over some scary bridges (Suspended and  That Dam Bridge).  Don’t misunderstand, I don’t seek opportunities to walk over bridges. When they come up, I give it a try.  At those moments I’m sort of blind to the fear and sometimes a little surprised when I’m taking those first steps so confidently across a bridge and then the fear snags me from behind like cattle being roped by a cowboy.

Lately nothing has come up in real life, and I must be missing how the fear makes me feel so I made up a game.  Here are the “rules.”

• Someone is forcing me to walk over a bridge.
• There’s no way out of it.  I must do it.
• I have to select one of two bridges based on photos. (I also pick the two photos for the game.)
• There are no consequences for being unsuccessful.   It’s just a mind game.  A real, scary  mind game for a gephyrophobiac!

Here are the two bridge options.

So I’m going to think about this and let you know my choice in a few days. 

In the meantime,  which would you pick?
