Phobias that you have?
-
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

Acrophobia.. :blownose:

Snakes.
I used to be very scared by stinging insects (wasps first) but I can control myself more now. -
I have Musophobia –> Fear of rats.
I hate them. -
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!

Fear of wasps and bees!

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 .

Cockroach! :cry2:

sorry but that is incorrect and an old wives tale , Cockroaches are only dirty if you keep a dirty house
there are umpteen tests conducted on cockroaches and on humans that are evidence based and all concluded that the cockroach has less germ transmittance on it than swabs from humans.they are creepy looking fuckers though.

I always thought the term was Bathmophobia but it turns out I have Climacophobia not that I can pronounce either one. The long and the short of it is if your in a rush don't get behind me when I am going down stairs. I have been known to sit and wait for the fear to pass.
