Mr DJ won't you turn the music up?
[Don't worry DJ, fear is a very normal part of being a PhD student! A bit of 'fear' or apprehension about your work is an ok thing, it keeps you motivated and striving to do your best, but don't let it overwhelm you. Make sure you keep things in perspective and play as hard as you work. All the best]
Oh yeah! I worry about running out of time even though I started recently (it's a very ambitious project), not be able to do my technique, doing stats, fieldwork, not understanding my topic (certain elements), what my supervisor expects of me, how we interact(haven’t sussed it out yet), when he/she will realise they have made a mistake in choosing me (don't feel very confident when I realise I've forgotten how to do alot of stuff!) etc ....... the list is endless!!! But it's a good experience so far!
