You are not a bad person for wanting relief from your anxiety and wanting to get your life back. Sounds like you are stuck in a very rigid system with a very rigid doc who is wrong about what you are experiencing and how to treat it. Sounds like he is not hearing you at all and not helping you. Can you wrangle a psych consult? Get someone who will focus on the anxiety not your neck. I doubt the two are connected. Sounds like you have pretty serious arthritis in your neck. They wouldn't be giving you opiods if they didn't see the structural changes you describe. But I do think the neck pain and the anxiety are two different things and should be treated by two seperate docs.
Hope this helps.
