You have a fear of something. Ask your self is there a real reason for me to be afraid? Probably not but sometimes people with PTSD post traumatic stress disorder can get these feelings out of the blue when something triggers an event that may have caused the original fear.
Can you talk to someone about it that is close to you? Sometimes talking can help make it seem not so scary.
