I've got 4:
Acrophobia, Altophobia — fear of heights
Claustrophobia — fear of confined spaces.
Apiphobia, Melissophobia — fear of bees.

and

Thunderstorm phobia. You will find me under a bed with a blanket over my head. If there is lighting associated with it, fa'get about'it!

To combat my fear of heights, when I went to the Big Island 2 years ago, my then boyfriend and I took a chopper flight over the island not to mention the volcano. I figured that if it was my time to go, so be it. I didnt want to miss an opportunity to view the island from up above. I don't regret it either. I still have issues but not as bad as before.

As far as the clasutrophobia, I stay away from crowded places as much as possible which is hard sometimes because I work in the financial district of San Francisco. I have my ways though. I either walk behind the pack or in front. I take my lunch early (1130 am) or late (after 1pm).
