Thank you. I work in biglaw and work long hours, but it’s the same amount of work/stress as I experienced in college and I was never anxious because of it. I will definitely look into seeing a therapist, but i’m a little skeptical about what they would be able to do/say to make me feel better, especially as I can’t avoid walking/leaving my house.

I threw in my two cents because I also feel that there's a limit to what talk therapy can offer here.

I think the thing that is vexing for people like you who have handled all sorts of situations over the years growing up here is the randomness of the threat - like straight up crime has a predictable beginning, middle and end and what's occurring now sounds like unprovoked assaults and menacing on a large scale which no one can prepare for. Really sucks.
