Potentially interesting twist on fear of heights ...

I am not afraid of heights, per se, I am afraid of an urge that I am going to toss myself from whatever the height is, be it a bridge, tall building, etc. I don't have a suicidal thought in my meager brain; but just thinking about walking across the George Washington Bridge (which I did when I was younger) makes me very nervous, as I picture myself grabbing the railing and throwing myself over. Weird.
