Anyone else feel like they don't deserve the life they have

I feel like I have a very good life, but constantly feel guilty that other people suffer and are less fortunate.
I am grateful for the simple things, I have a nice flat in an area I like, a happy relationship with my partner and family and we are all in good health.
My utility bills are included so I haven't been affected by the prices.
I don't have an enormous wage but I'm not in poverty, and I don't have any children to pay for.
See my parents weekly and brother every month.
I have a small number of friends but they're nice friends,got rid of toxic friendships from the past.
I'm happy with the way I look.
My job isn't perfect but I mostly enjoy it.

I just feel like I want for nothing and have this kind of anxiety that something bad is bound to happen. I worry about my partner or family becoming ill, losing my flat, my partner will leave me etc.

Does anyone else have this feeling? I almost feel like it's too good to be true and that I should expect things to go downhill, also feel very guilty about people in Ukraine for instance. I've donated but I know that's not going to bring back people who've been killed.

How do you stop feeling like this?

It hasn't always felt this way, I was bullied all through school and some jobs, had some abusive relationships as well and messed about in a few jobs.
