Seek help: I think you might need to understand why you have this fear. I would suggest that you seek a mental health professional to work with you on this one.

CBT: Seek a cognitive-behavioral therapist who specializes in phobias. One method they use is systematic desensitization which slowly and incrementally brings the person closer and closer to the thing they are afraid of in slow, graduated steps that help make the anxiety more tolerable.
