Anxiety coping strategies

I have been having some issues with increased anxiety over the last 6/8 months and I've tried my best to handle it myself but it's now at a point where that's not working for me anymore and I don't know what to do so thought maybe I'd get some advice here;

There isn't a trigger, I'm just on edge all the time about everything. I'm constantly worrying that the house has been broken into and pets killed, my cars been stolen, ive lost my job, dh has died if he doesn't answer his phone, I check all sockets are off before leaving home and then check doors are locked at least 3 times (and have sent dh back just to make sure) but still find excuses to go home to check the house isn't on fire.... I check on dd multiple times a night or just sleep with her because I'm afraid she'll stop breathing in the night. I avoid going out or work from home so I know everything is ok.

I'm tired and stressed all the time which makes me irritable, I feel like everyone is looking at and judging me.

Can anyone relate and share how you manage it?
