        Vertigo, really bad for me. Mate talked me into going up the top of the Tokyo Tower, while holidaying in Japan. I didn't make it far from the elevator just the sight of the view over Tokyo froze me. I dry retched was a disaster had to be helped back into the elevator. It is a terrifying feeling.

          I don't know whether it is a phobia or not but whenever I see blood I feel dizzy. I have fainted a few times because of that, once I fainted by seeing my own blood when I got a nosebleed. I got it checked and the doctor said that it is a 'vasovagal syncope' and there is no treatment except that I will grow out of it eventually, till the time I must avoid the situations where I see blood.

            The standard approach to treatment is the same as with other phobias - cognitive-behavioral therapy, desensitization, and possibly medications to help with the anxiety and discomfort.

            In recent years, the technique known as applied tension, applying tension to the muscles in an effort to increase blood pressure, has increasingly gained favor as an often effective treatment for blood phobia associated with drops in blood pressure and fainting

                Snakes.
                I used to be very scared by stinging insects (wasps first) but I can control myself more now.

                    I used to be terrified of heights but I exposed myself to heights as much as I could, now I could happily walk the jib of a crane without giving it a second thought.

                                Cockroach! I'm horribly terrified of them. It started when I was 5 or 6. Still remember it. I was asleep on the floor because I was tired and when I woke up, a cockroach crawled near my left ear. It almost entered my ear!

                                      i can help you there ,psychology is my field of work.

                                      If it's just cliffs and mountains and nothing else its called Acrophobia SMDD ( Space and Motion discomfort Disorder)
                                      but Acrophobia does not just apply to extreme heights , the flight or fight response applies normally in these conditions
                                      acrophobia applies even to heights that would not be deemed dangerous in normal circumstances .

                                      if you are phobic of falling in general , it's just called "FOF" fear of falling and is a normal human response .
