Do you have an phobias?

I used to have dog phobia. A small dog was enough to pass me out. Thanks to Cesar Milan it's mostly gone.
I pushed a girlfriend of mine onto one of these, also pushed another girlfriend and my mother to a stray dog.
Fear of heights. I get dizzy and my legs start shaking.
Fear of suddenly not flying in mid-flight in an airplane. It's so intense that I hugged the ground last time I went off of an airplane.
Fear of crowds and tight spaces. Combine these two and I get a pannic attack.

Claustrophobia is really the only problem I have, and it's quite specific. Crowds and overall small spaces aren't really an issue, but if it's at all tight on me or closed up and there's a chance of me getting stuck or having to rely on someone else to get free I flip.
Also, heights I'm only scared of if I feel vulnerable. I can lay on the glass floor of the CN Tower and stare all the way down to the ground, but if you were to ask me to go outside of it on a windy day I'd say no sir.

Don't know if it's a phobia but I don't like being in the back seat of a coupe. I avoid it as much as I can.
heights and more recently driving in snow. also traffic on the highway gives me crazy anxiety now, never used to.
I'm afraid of stairs. It's not an extreme fear that prevents me from using stairs, but every time I go up or down stairs, I'm weary of falling. I don't freak out or freeze or go very slowly so no one would ever know, but the fear is there.
I'm mad at this thread. I made sure to stay away from it yesterday & I still ended up having nightmares last night.
I'm afraid of things that are no longer fun.
Lotta fear in my life today.

Even though I'm an excellent swimmer, I rarely go in the water. I'm scared to death that something will attack, bite, or eat me. I never, ever go in the ocean and rarely, if ever, in a lake or pond. I will sometimes swim in a pool, though. It's something about not being able to see what might be near me that bothers me tremendously. This is only a fear I've had as an adult, never had it when I was a kid or a teenager.
I'm a very good swimmer too, if I take off my swimming google for some reason in the sea I start freking out instantly. I feel like I'm surrounded by sharks and giant jellyfish.
There was one time I screamed thinking I have a jellyfish attached to my chin. It was my beard.
I had to swim butterfly style to make up for the emberrasment, got really tired and barely made it out of the water. Not my best moments in the sea.
Personal space invaders. General rule of thumb is arm length minimum! If I can smell what you had for your last meal, that's un-good.
I'd be seriously tempted to do my damage and head to the penalty box in that situation.
