At one point or another we have all seen the high wire act during a circus performance or on a  t.v. show. The performer steps out onto the tightly stretched rope and slowly puts one foot in front of the other doing all they can to avoid a nasty spill. We all look at the performer and think "yea you're gonna fall" but of course they usually don't. The high wire reminds me a lot of what its like to have an anxiety disorder. Feeling off balance, woozy, lightheaded, faint are all sensations I'm sure a performer might feel while hoisted 50 feet
