how do you deal with feeling 'insecure'

i get times of terrible anxiety, where i feel deep feelings of insecurity, where i think or worry ' what if this happens to me, what if that happens in the future?' like what if i ever lose my apartment for some reason and i'm homeless, what if something happens to our government or our country, or it gets under threat from a foreign power.......what if sometime in the future my benefits stop or something happens to the welfare system?

and other worries which flood my mind....i live alone, lived alone 20 years, my main support system is my mother, who lives far away, i'm 48 now and from the uk.

My goodness, I feel like I could have written this. Pains me, that you can relate to the level of anxiety I feel. Sometimes, my thoughts even keep me up at night.
