How do you get over the fear of being outside at night?
the feeling of being alone is just psychological, its all in our minds that triggers our emotions to feel of being alone. You have to overcome it in a way of finding a diversion of your attention and focus. Usually being alone comes when we are not doing anything, when we are not busy, when we are just staring at the ceiling talking to ourselves. We have to think that we have families or friends or ourself to take care of. We have to talk to our soul and convince him/her that our purpose to live is to live for ourself and for our love ones. In this way you will be motivated and inspired to go on living everyday. :)

What is the phobia for fear of lack of control?
Sorry to say there is no specific fear for "a fear of lack of control." Loss of control is a symptom - that is to say - it describes what most phobics fear - a loss of control when confronted with whatever it is that scares them the most.
Agoraphobia is most known as a fear of "leaving the home" or being out in public. Agoraphobia, however, is one of the closest phobias associated with a fear of losing control. The home is seen as ultimate protection, while leaving the home is the fear of not having control of the outside environment. Of course the fear of lacking control can come at different times and in different ways for anyone that suffers from that particular type of anxiety. I, personally, don't have a problem leaving the confines of my house, but I would be lying if I said it was not more comfortable to stay at home because I have more control over what will happen to me - including limiting the embarrassment of having a panic attack in public.
