A person that has a phobia-Hypsiphobia
At first I choose the subject “a person that has a phobia”.  The phobia that I have chosen is Hypsiphobia.  I also suffered from this phobia and, so it was very difficult for me to take the photos that I needed.  At the beginning I found a lot of information for Hypsiphobia.
“Hypsiphobia is the fear of height, is an intense fear of something that poses little or no actual danger.  While adults with Hypsiphobia realize that these fears are irrational, they often find that facing, or even thinking about facing, the feared situation brings on a panic attack or severe anxiety.
The fear of height can result in the following symptoms: breathlessness, dizziness, excessive sweating, nausea, feeling sick, shaking, heart palpitations, inability to speak or think clearly, a fear of dying, becoming mad or losing control, a sensation of detachment from reality or a full blown anxiety attack.
Most sufferers are surprised to learn that they are far from alone in this surprisingly common, although often unspoken, phobia.
Several years ago, a psychologist specializing in phobias like hypsiphobia, made an amazing discovery. He kept up-to-date with all the leading therapies. And he tried them all. And no matter what therapy modality he tried, the cure rate of phobias like hypsiphobia was less than 5%. Oh sure, patients made progress. But it was only incremental. And therapy took years, not months. Then he made an amazing discovery and his ability to eliminate hypsiphobia soared to over 80%.”
Secondly, I went to my grandmother’s apartment on the 4th floor and very afraid I took some photos. I processed these photos with Photoshop with a way, which I think shows the symptoms of hypsiphobia. The story is that: Someone, who suffered from hypsiphobia, went outside and looked directly down. Then this person felt dizzy and fell down and died.
