Fear of falling.  I'm not scared of heights - tall buildings, elevtaor rides, airplanes, etc. don't scare me.  It's only when I can picture myself falling that I get nervous.  Can't say as I care for spiders much in person, but I don't freak out at them on tv, etc.

I've conquered my fear of heights.  The only thing that makes me panic is speaking in front of a large audience. Absolutely terrifies me.  I would just as soon face a firing squad.

I'm afraid of having a violent accident (car crash, falling, getting hit by a vehicle, etc.)
 
I'm also more afraid of a storm/typhoon than an earthquake.

Oh JP...I'm sorry to hear that you are afraid of a violent accident.    :hug:
 
The way I see it, if that were to happen to me I would hope that it would end my life quickly and not have to live through it and be maimed for life.  I am more fearful of living through a long illness.  
 
I'm also afraid of tornados which are always coming through here.

Snakes, I can't even stand to see one on TV, much less if I ever came face to face with one.
Panic in front of an audience singing, not me!
Heights, like driving in mountains, I get sick!  Climbing a tower?  Not me Shocked  Flying has never bothered me at all, in fact I love it from take off!  What fun! Grin

luci, I came real close to googling up a snake picture to put in here as a practical joke.  But I just can't do it to ya.   :punch:
 
neell, I would tell you about the brown recluse we have here but I just can't do that to you either.  90% of the year, I wear sandals around the house and they come in real handy whenever I see a spider.  WHOP!

MY Phobias??  Oh Jeez, where do I start!  I'm soooo messed up!  It's a wonder I can get out of bed each day!!
 
Okay, here goes.
 
I guess the first phobia I recognized in myself was way back in the 50's when I was diagnosed with Russophobia.  I struggled with that until November of 1989 before I put that behind me.  During my first marriage I had a lot of trouble with Pentheraphobia.  It got so bad that I developed Gamophobia, which then led to Lygophobia.  I can't help thinking that these maladies weren't in some way caused by my first wife's own problem . . Rhytiphobia.
 
It took me a bit, but I think I healed myself of Gamophobia and with that behind us, my second wife and I raised a family.  Unfortunately, after about 14 years of marriage I developed Ephebiphobia and this plagued me until just this last year.  I am at a loss of why, suddenly, I just didn't suffer with this any longer.  Nothing in my life, other than my son leaving for college, really changed for me. . .  I guess it's true what they say, medical miracles happen every day!
Currently, I suffer from Phalacrophobia and Gerontophobia, but am dealing with it.  
Once I retired I thought that the Liticaphobia I suffered, (which seemed to be almost omnipresent in all of my profession) would disappear and to my pleasure, it's almost gone!  I did develop Iatrophobia but my Doctor recommended that I play golf regularly to counter this particular phobia.  Unfortunately, absorbing myself into the game and trying to master it has actually brought on two of my latest maladies.  Dealing with Dendrophobia, which has led to Bogyphobia.  These phobias has led to Atelophobia whenever I try to enjoy a game of golf, but I have learned to deal with it.  
 
Well, that's about it.  I must be candid though and tell you that I had a serious bout of decidophobia and scriptophobia as I sat down here to tell you fine folks about my fragile mental state and frankly, it was only because of my efforts to deal with my Sesquipedalophobia that I write this.  Thankfully, I'm able to work thru most of my fears . . . .
 
 
. . . . . . with the exception of phobophobia.  Which quite frankly, just scares the HELL out of me!
 
 Wink
