High-functioning anxiety often hides behind productivity and competence. You might be organised, successful, and dependable — yet feel tense, restless, or constantly alert.

This kind of anxiety is common in people who learned early to stay vigilant, capable, or emotionally attuned to others.

High-functioning anxiety may include:

• Persistent overthinking or mental load

• Difficulty relaxing or being present

• Fear of getting things “wrong”

• Self-criticism despite external success

How therapy may help
