Fears and Phobias
I'll level with you. I'm really freaked out by loose buttons. I'm fine while they're doing their job, but once they're free the evil bastards are a major threat to my life. Tell us what spooks you, and how you cope. Also: church bells, doner kebab salads, death.

I fear we are not alone...
I have the heights thing, too. Once, as part of a family "fun" day, I had to take my kids to visit Glastonbury Tor. Which is quite high. Being dead manly and butch, I kept my crying quiet but it game me a chance to experience the full joy of vertigo.
What was interesting was that it wasn't a fear thing (see "manly" and "butch") but an actual physical sensation. If I took my eyes off the ground, I had a genuine feeling of loss of balance.
Which is odd, as I'm quite good at walking upright.
tldr: I'm not convinced that my vertigo isn't physiological. So, not fear. Or so I tell myself.
