Is it possible for dysphoria to cause anxiety?

Vent

Context:

I am extremely dysphoric and suffer from anxiety from basically middle school

5 months ago i started estrogen and i am pretty happy about it, but lately i feel anxiety for everything, i am suffering a lot because of it and i am terrified that its gonna last forever

And often my anxiety feels similar to how i feel when dysphoric, and since i am boymodding and living with transphobic people at the moment, i was wondering if dysphoria is possibly making my anxiety worse, since i don't feel euphoria almost ever and i end up feeling lost and basically not a person often because of it

I am sorry if this post is a mess, i am really struggling these days and i am scared, i am really really scared
