You know if you have a phobia of something if you're overly nervous/afraid of it. If, when you think of it, you break a sweat or get really scared, then you've got a phobia. A phobia is just a basic fear and everyone gets them. There aren't really "symptoms", but if you get really anxious, nervous, or are basically just extremely scared of whatever it is, then there's a big chance you have a phobia.

The only known way to get rid of a phobia, as some people say, is to face that fear. You might as well, because I'm sure if you try to, it won't be as bad as you think. After all, you only have one life, might as well take those kinds of chances. Also, if you're going to face it and are still too scared, have someone there with you while you do.

Good luck.
I hope that helped.
