I have a phobia of being stuck by a hypodermic needle anywhere except my mouth. I don't know why, but getting injections in my mouth don't bother me in the least. If I have to get and injection anywhere else, I'm reading to fight my way out of the room. I'm afraid I may get charged with assault for losing my nerve and beating up a doctor about to give me a vaccine one day... not that I hate doctors. I'm just terrorified of those needles.

@cassandraashley I have the same thing. You know what my therapist said to overcome it?? He gave me "vomit videos" where I had to watch people vomiting over and over again... To tell you the truth I couldn't watch them, but over the years my fear has subsided slightly, especially when it comes to non-real vomiting (like in movies or something) but I still absolutely freak when someone throws up in real life.

I have a phobia of death...what's that called? Thantophobia I believe. And I also have mild agoraphobia.

The reason why you have a phobia of heights,ladders,etc is because you relate them to bad experiences and thus you think that whenever you come into contact with heights or ladders or whatever that something bads going to happen and thus is makes you feel very anxious if your around those things your afraid of.The best thing to do is try and think of some good experinces you have had around heights,ladders,etc no matter how silly it seems and its very likely your phobia/phobias will disappear.

The reasons why people would be afraid of leaving the house would be because =1/ They're afraid of having a panic attack in public and how people will judge them.2/Maybe they have been bullied and thus they're afraid that if they go out they will be bullied and thus there way of coping is isolating thereselves away from people wherein they feel relaxed at ease,etc.Theres numerous reasons why someone might develop a fear of leaving the security of there own surroundings.
