  I hear ya. I get that when Im going heavy on deads, ie when the weight gets over 425 or so and on the step back on Squats when Im doing my work set- once Im in position Im ok, lol.  You need to get past the negative thoughts, or it will become what's known as a self fulfilling prophecy- and you get injured. What I do is try and turn it around, thsat isd instead of fear, be aggressive, or better yet joyful and motivated and attack the weights, they are now under your command, instead of the other way around. Hope that helps!
