I could say that she is expressing "paranoia" more than a "phobia" but from an outsider looking in on a mere sentence, I'd say that something traumatic has happened to this little girl that put her in a state of anxiety. Clearly, she is afraid of bodily harm. Young children have a hard time expressing certain mindstates or experiences, in part, because they just don't know how to. If you can, you shoud explain the situation to a physician and perhaps get a referral to a child psychologist to find out why your daughter has this behavior (it could range from seeing something scary on TV that impressed her too much to the other extreme of being physically threatened). If the problem is not addressed now, she may have trouble as an adult.

the vein touching is a phobia but i think it may be she doesnt like being touched if that is the care none of them are phobias as phobias are irrational and not going to hurt in anyway like a fear of buttons, open spaces, or clouds.
if im right with the touching the sleaping alone problem is wanting to feel safe from the robbers but be inderpendent.

I don't know of specific names for any of those phobias. I agree that your little girl sounds too anxious for a child and might need a counselor to get her past some of these fears.
Our son (a young adult) has a "thing" about his veins, ever since childhood. He doesn't like medical personnel to take his pulse. He grew a beard for years because he could not shave near his carotid and jugular. (We finally bought him an electric shaver.) So at least you know that this phobia is not as odd as it seems, and that others have it.

children 'learn' fear so if you can, try and find out what sparked each of these fears. Be calm and almost make a game of it if you can and let her talk about what she saw that made her fear each thing. Personally i don't believe she has a "phobia", these are very general fears that even adults have, it's quite normal to feel fear of being robbed and sleeping alone in the dark. She sounds quite normal to me but you can help her not to let the fears become so deep that they then become obsessive and inappropriate fears. get to the root of it and you'll be able to work out how to teach her not to be afraid 'inappropriately'.

Try not to dwell on her phobias & she may recover from them. If you dwell on them too much then she'll never get rid of them. Maybe try counselling too
Being scared & having a phobia are two different things. She'll get over her sleeping alone fear if you coax her into her own bedroom & make going to bed a fun relaxing time. Make her bedroom a lovely 'girly' place that she loves to be & eventually she'll get over her fear

I think it's impossible to get a proper diagnosis based on 4 lines of text. How old is she, has she encountered recent changes in her life ? How did she get this scared ? Lots and lots of other factors should also be known in order to give you a good advice.
She's scared, you don't know what's happening, I think you best visit your GP. Your GP could tell you a little more and give you names of professionals who have more experience if needed.
Best wishes.

Harpaxophobia ~
A morbid fear of robbers or thieves or of being attacked by a robber or a thief.
Such a fear motivates many to have elaborate burglar-alarm systems at their homes and businesses and several locks on their doors.
Hope this helps...
