Witches are feared because people don't understand them.

I, suffering from this same phobia, had to come up with the word for it myself. I call it Invertophobia.
I think I know what you are talking about. Agoraphobia? Maybe fear of going outside of your home? I have something like that to a degree. Sometimes I don't like so much air around me...or space. So, as strange as it sounds, I sit in my tight closet and wrap myself in blankets while wearing layers of clothing. This is definitely anxiety related, and for me, PTSD related as it makes me feel safe.
What phobia is the fear of not existing?
There does not appear to be a scientific term to specifically describe a fear of not getting what you want. This question, however, can be interpreted in two ways: 1) in a more literal sense, as in a fear of 'being unable to obtain material things' due to lack of finances, education, or whatever you perceive is disallowing you to obtain them, and 2) in the sense that your fear is of 'not achieving perceived important life goals', ie. marriage, children, the perfect job, a close circle of dependable friends, etc.
Your fear may stem from one of these:
Atychiphobia is the fear of failure.
Decidophobia is the fear of making decisions.
Hypengyophobia is the fear of responsibility.
My advice is this: Make a list of all of the things you think you want, both material things and otherwise. Now pick the three that are most important to you and start thinking of ways that you can obtain them. Share your goals with friends, family, classmates or colleagues since often they have great ideas on how to help you to achieve them. They can also be very encouraging when you need a 'boost', or things aren't going quite the way you would like them to.
If your current priorities are material things, then make a plan to save a bit of your income each paycheck (it doesn't matter how small the amount, the important thing is to just begin). If the most important thing is a non-material item, like marriage, then begin to think of ways that you might meet that special person. Again, friends and family can play an important role in introducing you to a potential mate. At the end of two months, review your list to make sure those are the things that are still the most important to you. If not, revise your list, and continue on for two more months. If you were able to obtain one of the items, or to achieve a goal in the first two months, then pick a close friend or family member and celebrate your victory. (This does not have to be expensive; sometimes an ice cream cone at the mall does wonders.) Continue on, reviewing your list and revising when necessary every two months. Be sure to reward yourself for victories, but also forgive yourself for setbacks.
Life is a journey, a marathon if you will, not a quick walking of the dog. Live it. Just remember to enjoy it along the way. Find the balance between having fun today, but also planning for tomorrow and before long, you may find that you have no fear.
