In reply to you and to j1mbo, I get that feeling all the time and it means I cannot stand next to the edge of a railing on a ferry, it just trips me out totally and all i want to do is jump. Must be some fear complex wondering what it would be like and how bad it would feel to fall and then be stranded at sea waiting to drown.
Jim, in my experience, the best idea is to move away from the edge
It is like you are kinda daring yourself to do it. Sometimes I feel the urge to steer into on coming traffic on single carriage way roads, which is quite similar. Change reality in one second. Perfectly normal driving followed by instantly being involved in a major head on collision.
I think it is quite a bit to do with being bored too or unhappy in a situation. It is just an adverse reaction to a situation. Best to work out what the issue is and change that instead!
Hope a reasonably serious reply helps.

this is exactly what it was like, almost daring myself, i ended up laughing and found it quite funny, but i have to think people who have no "self control", would they just let their mind control their body and not think about what they do ?!
im sure some people are like this, i find it weird how your brain can almost take over, and do what it wants to do if that makes sense,
i wish i could understand the brain, i think that would be fantastic
