I ask because evidently, you've experienced something which has left a mark on you and you're constantly worried about it, even though you don't know what it is.
This is going to be an odd question but when you sleep, have you had an peculiar dreams lately? I again ask because dreams are a way in which we see what we experience or what we feel, so I'm just wondering whether anything you've dreamt has caused you to feel fear or have you seen anything which keeps on coming up in your dreams. If not, don't worry.
To deal with, for now, all I can say is that you need to believe in yourself, and believe that you're the stronger one, and nothing can harm you in any way, not even this fear.
Another way in which I can think of to calm you down would be to meditate.
Sit in a chair which has got a straight back rest, close your eyes, ensure that your feet and the same width as your shoulder, place your hands on your lap and with your head facing forward and just relax.
Take deep breathes and as you breathe out, feel all the pressures, the fears of the day just leave you.
Relax the muscles in your face, arms, legs, neck and back whilst taking your deep breathes.
Focus on your breathing, and empty your mind and one way to do this would be say a small mantra in time with your breathes (maranatha):
Breathe in - "Mara..."
Breathe out - "...natha"
Listen to the silence around you, if there is a noise, don't try and block it out, just let it flow by. Do it as long as you wish.
