It may be unintentional or just subtle, but. I remember how they (can't recall who, might've been RTD) said that Ten had Rose's accent because he sort of 'imprinted' on her the way a baby chick would its mother. And what Rose says to Ten when they get to talking near the end of his first special is (paraphrased from memory) 'You're not my Doctor.' She's not the only one, numerous people reiterate this. So it's quite easy to think that, in a time where he was still forming his new identity, all this 'not my Doctor' stuff he was hearing would've left a mark of some kind. That mark being, 'I am pretty much a different person in each regeneration.'
Which would give Ten the view he has in End of Time. He's a different Doctor when he regenerates. He's not the same person. Ergo, it's like dying. Who else does he have around him to insist otherwise? The only other Gallifreyan around is The Master, and he really is dying and certainly not in any shape to remind The Doctor that regenerating is not death--not like he would anyway. He's around humans, and one other Time Lord who is dying.
Should be normal to him, done it before, yadda yadda. Maybe. People can get scared of things they have done before, you know? Considering as this particular thing involves changing himself almost entirely, and he's been around almost nothing but humans, who last time he regenerated said initially he wasn't the same person as he was before? Very understandable.
Anyway: He liked being who he was as Ten. The change could've been for the worse or the better and he didn't know which, he just knew he liked being who he was and didn't want to have to make the change. (It wasn't...really a choice, even.) He was afraid. A breakdown in those circumstances was understandable.
...And yeah, I really liked Ten. I liked RTD running the show way better than anything I've seen out of Moffat running it. I feel like Moffat is somewhat like George Lucas; when he has someone else with a controlling hand in things he can turn out brilliance, but left in charge entirely on his own he goes more than a little whackadoodle.
