According to some sites, "Ortographobia" is the fear of spelling mistakes -- but this word is not generally recognized by dictionaries.
There are similar phobias:
# Logophobia -- fear or dislike of words
# Sesquipedalophobia --fear of long words
Dyslexia is a learning disability in which people tend to make spelling mistakes. But, it is not a phobia.

Bush and Rumsfeld phobia probably. Just kidding. In that case don't look for harder words while writing. Make it as simple as you speak at home. Start practising the art of simplifying those hard essays with your friends help practise writing. Watch movies with English subtitles 'on'. That helps a lot. All the best.
