When I feel anxiety over a good thing, I tend to find that underlying it are feelings of excitement and anticipation for the thing, and of fear that the thing will not be what I expected/it will go wrong in some way, etc.

I'm not so sure of that definition of fear v anxiety. My understanding (which is several years rusty now) is that the physiological response is the same, varying sometimes only in degree.
