However, I did feel completely safe every second of it. You're in an enclosed space and the risk of it breaking down is so uncommon that it's not really something you have to worry about.
Worst case scenario you can just sit there and close your eyes. You can't tell you're moving unless you look outside, and there's seats in the middle.
I am also terrified of heights but I remember I was more scared when I looked at the Eye from below more than when I was inside it, the sheer size of it was making me dizzy I just couldn't look up haha.
To answer your questions:
1) Nope.
2) Probably not because the trip is around 30 minutes, but that depends how long you're capable of screaming
3) The worse that could happen is it just stops for a few minutes (making your journey longer so more worth it!) but I doubt that actually happening.
I hope you have fun!
All in all London is a very lovely place full of culture which I love. I hope you enjoy your time in London
Hi @Past User you don't have to feel embarrassed about not going on the London Eye as that is totally understandable. Its okay to not have to do things because you feel anxious of doing them. I know the feeling myself with past experiences. Hope you are feeling okay, I'm always here if you want to chat.

Yep, I've been a couple times. You won't fall or scream, it's very safe and fun! I think it has broken down a couple of times over the last 20 years, but those are isolated incidents - I really wouldn't worry about them. It's a cool ride to go on, I'd definitely go if you're interested!
