Is it normal that i'm afraid of the earth?

I'm am deadly afraid of heights but not falling. My fear has gotten so bad that i'm afraid of the earth because if you think about it we are so high up. My mind is taking over me and i cant control my thoughts when i get to thinking about it. It happens mainly at school and i start to panic. I try telling my parents about it but they dont really help :( i dont know what to do :( i'm afraid of going crazy.. what do i do? PLEASE HELP ME

    I think your fear is a little extreme. Try convincing your parents about getting you a Psychologist.

    Talk to someone about this, I have a giant fear of heights but never to that extreme. You're safe here on Earth ;) But maybe talking through it with a professional will help you realize that.

    Human being have huge brains and that tends to get in our way a lot. I like to call things like that "the big brain disease" because it seems to me like you are just over thinking things. Rationalize and do some research, talk to others who have a similar fear and do your best to understand that you are perfectly safe. Good luck!

    I got anxious just reading that lol.

    Why don't you see the school counselor? or talk to a teacher you trust.

    I have a somewhat similar phobia. Maybe, you should talk to a therapist?

    Good Luck!

    This is not normal, and it sounds serious. See a therapist.
