Finally found the anxiety side of the high functioning anxiety and depression... It makes so much sense now... It all finally fits together... 😅

High Functioning Anxiety is due to:
1. More responsibility you willing to take for family/relatives or work, compared to your equally capable siblings or peers respectively.
2. More emphatic you are.
3. Taking ownership for the group, especially during crisis.
4. Being a good citizen.
5. Many others 😊

Person with values have to live their values- so can’t avoid it, need to learn to cope with it, and sometimes even try delegation of responsibilities in personal and professional life.

Not an expert and am struggling too, but just wanted to share, and happy to know not being alone in this.❤

For me I had been struggling with a generational curse that had kept me from achieving financial abundance. I’m almost 38 and I recently stumbled on a cure, it was a good luck prayer and surprisingly, I've seen a steady growth in my finances and have been able to break the curse.

I saw my new therapist yesterday to discussed a lot of things like death of my father he passed away back in June, mental health, loneliness, grief or maybe little anger issue also I got high functioning autism I'm more smarter or successful person but one problem for me is I get little anxiety sometimes some days that I'm Happy some days I'm not happy plus my therapist give me some paper work about how to control my mixed emotions it does helps me through my emotions.

I've been described as higher functioning, yet now, my anxiety, fears, etc have gotten me depressed. It has been this way since my divorce, 2 1/2 months since. I don't feel normal even being on Haloperidol, ativan when i need it, prozac and OTC stuff. How to get out of this slump.
