Existential Anxiety: Feeling Anxious About Existing

I've noticed that I've recently been anxious with just the idea of existing. I get anxious just knowing that I have a first person view of the world. I dont understand why having a first person view of everything makes me so anxious now. Has anyone else been feeling this was recently?

This is one of my biggest struggles with my anxiety! Before I was on medication, it was so bad I couldn't get out of bed some days. I think the reason it causes so much anxiety for me personally, is because it's a lot for a brain to process. It's not something people really think about on a day to day basis, so it can be scary realizing that you're a whole person who lives a life and exists in other people's lives.
