Scared of climbing outdoor stairs?

Lost Girl asked:


I have a fear of escalators and avoid them because I feel like I’m going to fall backwards and get really dizzy. I used to be fine with stairs but for the past few months or so, I’ve been really scared. If I climb one set of steps I’m fine, but then I get to the second set and as I’m on the 4th step from the top or so, I start getting really dizzy and feel like I’m going to fall backwards. It’s really bad. Then I shakily grab on to both sides of the staircase. How do I overcome this when there’s no elevator? I’m fine climbing stairs inside…but I have a fear of heights.
