Do you have any phobias that negatively affect your daily routine? How do you deal with them?

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
(excerpted from Dune by Frank Herbert)

Everyone fears something, whether it be the number thirteen, open spaces, enclosed spaces, heights (my own personal kryptonite) or even a crowded elevator. It’s how we deal with our fears that make us who we are. What is your phobia and how do you deal with it? yours?
