High Functioning Anxiety - Do you have it? | #shorts

If you don’t show any observable ‘symptoms’ of anxiety and on the surface look confident and composed, but definitely don’t feel it on the inside, you might resonate with something called ‘High Functioning Anxiety’.

Now, it’s not a diagnosable condition, but it describes anyone who seems to be ‘functioning’ well on the outside (in fact, they might be a high performer achieving all their goals), but internally is experiencing anxiety in some way.

And this anxiety could manifest in any of the following ways:

• Being a compulsive people pleaser
• Being a perfectionist
• Not being able to sleep due to a racing mind
• Overthinking constantly about the future or past
• Inability to set boundaries
• Not being able to take a break because you don’t feel you deserve it…

Interestingly, the underlying anxiety both fuels and is reinforced by these behavious. It self-perpetuates.

It’s really important if you are experiencing anxiety that you find things to do to help you manage it. Whether it’s incorporating mindfulness meditation into your days, starting regular journaling, breathing exercises or even seeking professional guidance or support, let’s normalize taking ownership of our mental wellbeing and commit to taking steps towards it.

I am suffering same in my daily life, your videos are really helping me a lot ❤️

[capricious]

That's me! Even while listening to you i was judging myself. that whether I am successful or not.

[deckearns]

This is very close to 'imposter syndrome'.

I have recently read a really amazing book about an ex head of the FBI (not saying what administration or decade they belong to) and he/she suffered, terribly, with imposter syndrome. Yet, they did their job amazingly well. Nobody would have ever thought!

It's important to remember: 'doubt has killed more dreams than failure ever will'.

You are never alone.

Big love... ❤️

It drives me in a different way. At the end of the day I always reflect. In the shower or before I go to sleep until my mind slows down. That's when I start to see clearly and think of ways to keep improving. I keep one thought in mind through it all, I can be better.

[mastermo]

Yes, that's true....Thank you so much for your advise

[sehrishbalouch]

Hi Shadezahrai,

I feel the same. I won't say I achieved my goals. But compared with my Juniors and seniors they are one step ahead of me.

[simonheath]

Wow this might be me at least I know what to start looking into to help myself out so thank you

[BassamProduction]

Thanks for sharing these tips.. and you're so adorable in black..

[lordofgingers]

Everyone in 2021 who takes opinions on social media from people they don’t know too seriously feels this way. And then that sensitivity leaks over into their work environment and personal lives

[Gulshandodwani]

It's a common symptom but needs to be dealt carefully.

[avinashsanil]

The battle between flesh and spirit is normal, just overcome them, when you don't dwell on them you are overcoming them....

[Cheetah]

This is new for me but I think I will need to learn more about that 😞
