Suffering from friggatriskaidekaphobia?

Do you have a fear of Friday the 13th? This phobia goes by the difficult to pronounce names friggatriskaidekaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia.

"The Fear is Very Real ... so real that one scientific name wasn't enough. The fear of Friday the 13th is also called friggatriskaidekaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia. Now say that 10 times really fast!

Friggatriskaidekaphobia comes from Frigg, the Norse goddess of wisdom after whom Friday is named, and the Greek words triskaideka, meaning 13, and phobia, meaning fear."

That is something new I have learned from this forum I joined today and now I'm wondering what the fear of fear itself would be called

Fear of fear itself, or the fear of phobias (and the fear and anxiety associated with them) is phobophobia..funnily enough.
