High-Functioning Anxiety: 7 Signs You’re Not “Just Responsible”

Описание: Everyone thinks you’re “so responsible” and “so put together.”Inside, you’re tired, tense, and wondering why you can’t just relax.

This video is for the high-functioning, exhausted helpers who keep asking, “Is this just how I’m wired… or is this actually anxiety?”
In this episode, we’ll walk through 7 signs of high-functioning anxiety that often get mislabeled as being:
“Just responsible”

By the end, you’ll be able to:
Recognize how anxiety can hide behind competence and control
See why you’ve been misreading your anxiety as character flaws
