Maintenance Anxiety- Can Anyone Relate?

I think that your anxiety is normal. I certainly experienced it when I started maintenance 2 plus years ago. But if you have taught yourself good eating and exercise habits, have faith that you can do this. They should have become natural to you, and make maintenance easier than you would think.
I would also say that a little remaining anxiety is not bad. But just a little. You need to enjoy your life. It is never good to get too comfortable and to totally forget that your newer, more fit, and thinner body hides a former heavier one. That is what setting yourself a weight range and a scream weight is all about. When you see that scream weight (the one you don't want to go above), you work at a deficit until you are back within range. Don't panic at the scale; just correct what you need to, and move on.
