you have to be strong and realize your problem and overcome it, i hope you can get over this. Just try to avoid them at first, then you need to give them a try and try to get over this. Good Luck!!

Best way to avoid a phobia?  How about just avoid it or over come it.  I have a phobia of highs.  I don't climb ladders or anything and I don't even like to watch people go up high.  I just DON'T do what ever scares me.\n\nIf that is NOT what you ment, you need to CLEARIFY!

It's a really common thing to be scared of. It's called Arachniphobia (fear of arachnids). I'm 27 years old, 6' tall and 220lb... and will scream like a little girl and run away if I see a spider.

Try donating blood.  That's how I got over my fear of needles.

You have a compulsive obsessive disorder. Don't let it carry you away my friend, it can and will control you just like an obsessive boyfriend.\n   See a doctor first. Then lets get down to facts. If you've cleaned the mold out from between the bathroom cracks, cleaned the floors with a detergent and the toilet seats, the stool, in and around everything, you'll get almost 100% of anything that can harm you. The same in the kitchen. Don't leave scrap food around, your garbage has to go out at night, etc.\n   Clean up your dirty clothes, wash them, etc. normal household cleaning will do most of it including vacuuming.\n   Don't get too carried away and become obsessive. Don't drive people away. Remember, see the doctor, tell him your desires. In the lab we use a 10% solution of bleach for bacterial control, let it air dry but, this isn't all that necessary in the home.

Been in your position - I had the same problem with being a cheerleader.  The only thing I could do to cure my fear was face it.  (And ask for certain people who I was comfortable with to be the catchers)  I started trying to do different activities that would cause me to be in the air, like flying.  I went to the tallest stories of buildings (The Arch in St. Louis, Mo.  Anything that would help.  Now, I'm 26, and although I still have some reservations about heights, I do okay for the most part.  Confronting your fear is the hardest step - once you start to do that you'll be fine.

A psychologist specializing in phobias and anxiety treatment can help you. The condition is almost always curable.\nBest of luck.

you have to put yourself into situations involving height that are comepletely safe first. face the fear, and conquer it. I would personally start by going up to second stories of houses, and looking out the closed window at the ground. Then move on to taller buildings looking out the window, and you will gain confidence that you wont fall.

Jump from places that are lower and work your way up to places that are higher. Its not a solution that will cure you quickly though. It will probably take you a year or more to get over it.

Just remember if you sleep with it tonight you may have to look at it for the rest of your life.\n\nAlways hold your head up high and act like you own the place even if you are scared to death.

Stay away from pastors & well meaning friends who tell you to get over it. They are true phobias, each with it own name. A good psychistrist can diagnoise & medicate these problems - it may need help from phychologist. Good luck. My spiders, people esp. crowds, & water are managable. Go Wolfpack- I'm back at games & sailed all weekend.
