If it makes you feel any better, you physically can't open the emergency exits in flight. It's quite impossible.
Plus, the mere act of trying to open them triggers an alarm, and you'd get tackled by all the air marshals and flight crew. In fact, I'd be more afraid of someone thinking I was trying to pen it if I brushed against it accidentally.
I know joyeous has this fear, so I sent her an article not too long ago about how some guy tried to open the emergency window exit mid flight (and was of course unsuccessful).
In the old days, the airlines used to have schools for people to help get over their fears of flying, using psychologists and actual aircraft, culminating in people making their first flight.
Flying is very scary, especially when it's been in the news. But it's not good to be so anxious that you can't find comfort. There are pills you can take to help you stay calm, but you'd need to see your doctor.
