Add some additional details, and tell us what your phobia is. Maybe then we can help you. ^_^

When you say you have a phobia, it shows you have enough of insight and you have NO PROBLEM. You are concerned beyond a limit about your thought processes, that's it. Have you ever heard of a mad man telling that I am MAD?
All fears are not phobias; any cautious person would be afraid of possible adverse consequences... It's quite natural and healthy. As age goes up, this caution becomes more prominent in behaviour that too is quite natural.
When your fear of a thing, place, time, or expression affects your functional ability, then you need to seek help. When you yourself is aware of YOUR phobia why you worry. What phobia you have?? We are none to diagnose any physical diseases then how can you diagnose a mental state?
Try and reason out why you are afraid of the thing you are afraid of. If you understand then your problem is solved. If the fear is unfounded and unable to control like any other physical disease YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO A PSYCHIATRIST.
Much before all these, consider your age, your education, your family background, your family living etc., Having blessed by God with enough insight, you would not need any help from anybody. Have faith in you that's enough.
STILL, if you feel, please do not come back to this forum for clarification but visit a doctor for EXPERT opinion.

Genuine phobias are psychiatric conditions and are quite rare. A genuine phobia causes outright panic attacks and even full on breakdowns. They cannot, by definition, be "faced head on". If you have a genuine phobia you require professional treatment. If you merely have an extreme aversion to something you have to decontextualise it. This means changing the environment and situation the thing is in until it's less problematic.

The way I have always handled any fears I would have, is to just go straight face to face with it and it would be less and less until I wasn't afraid of it at all soon. The only thing to fear is fear itself.
Hope this helped you.
