35/m here. 12 years clean from Opiates. Married 8 years with a 4 year old. Solidly middle-class, awesome job, can’t say anything in particular is wrong. But I’m the last 2 months I have felt crippled. My job is “somewhat” stressful but it’s not from my boss, it’s entirely client-generated. Over the last 6 years I typically drive 1000 miles/week seeing clients and checking in. But recently I’m scared to leave the house. 

Tried to take my wife to see a movie this last weekend (for the first time in 2 years) and I’m extremely frightened of every person in the road. In the last 3 weeks I have left my house 4 times for work. I feel like the anxiety is crushing down on me and don’t know what to do. With my history I don’t feel like I would be taken seriously by any medical professional, and that may be compounding my anxiety. I just feel trapped. And I’m taking it out on my family, withdrawing, and not being myself. I feel horrible.
