Secrets of the High-Functioning Anxious
The pursuit of perfection, is clouded by pressure and strain, concealing a clandestine world of stress. Behind the façade of excellence lies the truth—unrealistic expectations, relentless self-criticism, and an unspoken fear of falling short. That's...Perfectionism, the undercover architect of stress.
The tendency to delve deeply into every thought and decision conceals an analysis paralysis. This mental chatter proves exhausting and counterproductive, obstructing decision-making, operating quietly in the shadows. That's... Overthinking, the secret saboteur..
Balancing the weight of high achievement and the concealed anxiety it brings reveals a covert accomplice. Physical symptoms like tension, restlessness, and mental exhaustion silently testify to the toll taken by this secret accomplice. That's...Burn Out, the secret strain.
Despite basking in external success, a lingering sense of undeserving accomplishment and the covert fear of exposure as a fraud casts shadows on triumphs. That's... Imposter Syndrome, the silent underminer.
I know it may be hard to wrap your brain around this, but there are strengths to being High Functioning and Anxious.
