Chapters

Just because you're high functioning, it doesn't mean you're not anxious. Here are some signs that you may have high functioning anxiety. It takes everything in you to get up and go about your day. Even if you didn't get any sleep and you're exhausted, you're still going to work. It's hard to maintain relationships, and one of the things that you do to cope is keeping yourself in the back burner. Your physical health is getting worse and you find that you're having to take more and more medications or supplements. Even when everything inside of you is screaming, you are able to maintain a calm decorum. Sometimes when we have high functioning anxiety, our symptoms can be so loud and so agonizing and so extreme, but we don't have the space or freedom or time to break down, and so we push through. What is high functioning anxiety like for you?
