I’ve been having bad anxiety about everything for a long time now…

Hi, I’m 25 years old and female, and I’ve been experiencing anxiety for a long time now. It started when I was around 18-20 years old, during the pandemic. I also have panic attacks whenever I hear something scary or bad news. My mom tries to help me out and calm me down, but I still feel nervous and anxious every day. I can’t watch horror movies or suspenseful movies because they bother me so much. I literally can’t sleep at nights or I have nightmares, and it stays in my head a lot. Like, I don’t want to watch horror movies or scary shows, but my mom likes to watch suspenseful movies and shows. She doesn’t care if I’m sitting right by her side, and she’ll turn it on. I’ll go upstairs or get my headphones and listen to my favorite songs, but it still bothers me. Does anybody else have anxiety like I do? If so, how do you get scary thoughts out of your mind at nights or during the day?
