Awful feeling of dread keeping me up at night

I am just looking for some help/suggestions/similar experiences on this if possible.

Every night when I'm trying to sleep, I get this awful feeling of dread and that something bad is going to happen to someone in my family etc, I always have these awful thoughts of how I wouldn't be able to cope if something happened to my mum, dad or brother. This only happens at night though, through the day I feel ok and don't think about it but in the night it hits me. Last night I fell asleep fine but randomly woke up at 4am worrying!!!

For context I am 25 and live at home with my family and my boyfriend at the moment, I have never suffered with any type of anxiety / mental health issues before.

Any advice / tips would be very much appreciated please x
