I fear heights but not in a debilitating way. I have difficulty with ladders or with steep stairs and narrow steps, those awful stairs in old houses built for people with miniature feet and some stadium stairways.
I can't say I do real well with snakes but it isn't so horrible.
I do have one phobia however of water after nearly drowning. I can swim alright, float lazily on a river but the fear I feel when faced with sudden submersion is terrifying. Don't toss me into the deep end or off a dock or I will drag you in with nearly drowning you in the process.
Ever since I had an accident I have been scared of driving on the freeway, and also fearful of getting lost. I haven't driven the freeway since, and am nearly petrified driving somewhere I don't know well.
