Have you checked your cortisol levels?

TMI: I have a chronic life threatening illness.

Unlike you, I didn't realize I was anxious. Until it was gone.

I also have terrible insomnia. The root cause for me is adrenal fatigue.

I did a bunch of different things to get my cortisol, adrenal function, and insulin levels to "normal" cycle. I continue to work with my family doctor, a naturopath, and a nutritionist to find strategies that work for me. There isn't a cure-all. But stuff like anxiety, stress, insomnia are certainly managebale.

Good luck.
