I am too....
I remember one bad experience which added to it more.
It was on a school trip....
Yea I had a mental breakdown around about half my grades classmates a few years ago because they forced us on a ride at an amusement park.
So that made my fear worse...
I love flying....
but yet being high up on a lift, etc... just wont happen.

How to overcome it,
No clue :(
maybe physco therapy,
no its just not for crazy people.

Have you tried meditation before hand?
Find some very relaxing music,
Just sit/lay-down for about 10 to twenty minutes minutes clearing your mind.
They focus on what you have to do.
its good for the mental health as well.

Meditation works for a number of things,
Its all about mind over matter,
You have to tell yourself you can do it.

My mother had a tumor,
everyday she meditated, imagined a little bit of it disappearing each day,
The next month when she went back for the follow up doctors appointment, to schedule a surgery,
It was about 1/4 of its original size.

I'm sure if it can do that it can help you get over getting on a roof :)

(no im not trying to be rude)

definitely frame of mind and what you imagine will happen next ,

when I was about 12 or 13 i freaked out walking across a slatted bridge and was terrified of heights.

I ended up working in the music biz and spent 5 years building stages and rigging, it was a pure buzz and the key for me was what i thought about, once i managed to stop considering i might fall it became easy :cool:
