This technique may work if your phobia is one of falling down the stairs but may not help if you're phobia is to the stairs themselves.
Wishing you well.

Thank you, Meditating Man. I had planned to do that, get downstairs sitting, but then I still had to get back upstairs. My knees and vertigo make it impossible because I'd have to stand up somehow, on the top landing. I guess I could try holding a floor cushion and kneel on it at the top of the stairs. My knees are in horrible shape.
When I climbed the stairs last Thursday, even with my friend right behind me, i started to panic when I was about halfway through them. If I panicked that much with my friend there, how much worse would it be without him?
Thank you again. I'm just a scared ninny.
