So badly that you will not do something you enjoyed or never thought twice about???
I scared my self out of rock climbing.
I made it up a chimney*about 30 feet on my own and panicked. I walked around the corner from where my friends were and thought I'd climb in with no safeties in.....no rope or harness.
For some reason my mortality hit me in the face I couldn't move and had a panic attack. I finally MADE myself move. I still get an ugly feeling in my stomach thinking about it.....even while watching anything that has to do with heights on the telly.

*a chimney is two walls that are close enough to climb by
putting your back on one face and your feet on the other.
You scooch your back up, move your feet, scooch up again.
