There are several reasons for worrying less as you get older. One is that you are declining mentally so you are not as aware of losing your mental faculties...the other is you are getting closer to kicking the bucket, so your just grateful (if you are) to be alive another day.
Also, many people get a thrill out of beating the odds.
Despite your anxiety...you still remain optimistic, that is the difference between having depression and anxiety. You can still see the possibilities, which is interesting. You have not given up on finding answers, so that is what keeps you going every day. God bless you for your optimistism.
