Psychological?: You should not be "deathly afraid" of hemorrhoids, which usually are a health inconvenience, not a serious health threat. In any case, "pulsating" is not a symptom of hemorrhoids. Perhaps your anxiety about anal health is making you more aware of trivial symptoms or minor body sensations that you otherwise would ignore or not even notice. But see a doctor if you remain concerned about it.

Be Not Afraid: Sorry to hear your anus is pulsating. You have a 50% chance of getting hemorrhoids before you are 50 so it is best if you come to terms with this deathly fear now. http://www.healthline.com/health/hemorrhoids#Overview1
