Not so much heights, more... edges. Like cliff edges. So I'm fine in planes/tall buildings and stuff, and any time I know I can't fall out/fall off, but put me near a cliff edge or something, and I start to freak out a little inside.

And I've got this thing about drowning, probably related to my claustrophobia.

Definately. I'm cool with height but edges... however low down... They freak me out.

And needles. I feel sick at the thought of them.

Same here, just picture it - sinking into unfathomed depths black depths, cold tendrils of slimy seaweed wrapped around your legs, the chilling water surrounding your skin, squeezing your body, tighter, tighter, and your lungs, how they burn for air - sweet, sweet, oh sweet air.

I get the same thing, it once took only a picture of the edge of a cliff with an absoulutely HUGE drop to get me wary. Since then i've had a fear for heights. I'm fine on planes though.
