Welcome to life: High functioning people do well until too much 'stuff' hits them and they get stressed out and anxious. Crazy part is ignoring it and suffering when a therapist can help you regain since of control over your life and reduce your anxiety and misery. Happens all the time to more than 1 in 5 of us. See a therapist, or your primary dr if need referral.
