This is going to sound weird, but for me, it's been the sharp rise in world atheism that's been probably the biggest trigger of anxiety. I've had occasional panic attacks related to dying ever since I was a kid, but they've gotten more frequent and severe as our culture has increasingly become less and less believing in Deity and an afterlife.

Edit: I should add my mom's health issues have been another huge trigger of this, as well as, I think, finally being out of school since May, as the really rampant increases and frequency to being near-nightly only really started in the fall.
