Recognizing the Signs High functioning Anxiety
High-achieving Latina women often appear to have it all together on the surface. They're successful, driven, and seemingly in control of their lives. But beneath the facade of confidence and achievement, many silently battle high-functioning anxiety—a condition that's not easily detectable by others. I understand the unique challenges you face, and I am here to help you unmask the silent struggle and find healing through therapy.
People with high functioning anxiety often excel in their daily responsibilities, such as work or social interactions, but they constantly wrestle with inner turmoil and self-doubt. They may be perfectionists, overthinkers, and people-pleasers, striving to meet high standards and avoid failure. Despite their external success, they may feel overwhelmed and struggle to find inner peace and relaxation.
Anxiety can manifest in various ways, and being aware of these indicators is the first step toward managing it effectively.
Here are some common signs and symptoms to help you identify if you might be experiencing high-functioning anxiety:
1. Perfectionism: You set extremely high standards for yourself and constantly fear falling short.
2. Overthinking: Your mind races with worry, replaying scenarios, and analyzing every detail.
3. Avoidance: You may avoid certain situations, even if they're essential, to sidestep the anxiety they trigger.
4. Physical Symptoms: Anxiety can manifest physically, leading to restlessness, muscle tension, and even digestive issues.
5. People Pleasing: You go to great lengths to meet the expectations of others, often at the expense of your own well-being.
6. Self-Doubt: A relentless inner critic casts doubt on your abilities and decisions.
7. Procrastination: You put off tasks due to fear of not meeting your own high standards.
