It is very common to hold tension in your neck and back if you are stressed. I get it all the time and it is very uncomfortable. Use a cold compress ( I leave 1 in the freezer) and sit down and relax for a while. Doing this a few times should bring down the swelling you may have.
You may have also pulled a muscle. If it continues for a while you should see a doctor.

It could be from muscle tension (anxiety) or it could have a structural problem as a cause.
You can use alternating moist heat and ice packs to help relax the muscles.
Also do some neck exercises:
Gently roll your neck all around in one direction, then the other. Don't force anything, just let the weight of the head stretch the neck.
If everything you do doesn't help, consult a Chiropractor.

I'm no doctor or anything but you may have slept funny on it last night. Or you may have a cold in the neck if you've been exposed to the winter elements. And as you suggested it may be from anxiety, but you'd be wise to let a professional doctor have a look if it continues.

Use a heating pad, lay down and relax your muscles in your neck and massage your neck for awhile.
