🙌 Helping anxious overthinkers who look calm on the outside—but feel anything but.

03/11/2026

When anxiety starts getting loud, talk back…

No seriously. Answer it. I want you to imagine your anxiety like it’s a small child, desperately afraid and needing some reassurance.

Sometimes we all need a grounding reminder that even though it feels scary, it’s going to be okay—that we’re safe.

Remember though not to fall into the trap of using statement like these to “make the anxiety go away”. What we resist persists. But let these answers act as a way you can get curious about why your anxiety might be showing up. And help you reframe the experience from being fearful to responding in an empowered way.

High-functioning anxiety may not be a diagnosable anxiety disorder, but many people find themselves in this category - suffering with anxiety, but outwardly able to function relatively well.

If you have high-functioning anxiety, you may even be praised for how you’re seen on the surface: high achieving, bending over backwards to help others, a perfectionist, detail-oriented, etc.

Having these traits are typically praised because it makes life easier for others!

Even though you may look “fine” on the outside, you’re frequently anxious on the inside.

You may feel stretched too thin, overthink everything, procrastinate because of your perfectionism, and worry people aren’t happy with you.

Here are a few affirmations to practice if you struggle with high-functioning anxiety:

👉 It’s ok to reach out for help when I need it.

👉 My work is good and doesn’t need to be perfect.

👉 Other peoples opinions of me are not my business or my problem.

👉 I am valuable, simply for being - not for what I can do or accomplish for others.

👉 Today I can fully enjoy each present moment instead of overthinking things of the past and future.

Does your nervous system do this when you try and set a boundary?

Here’s the truth: Setting boundaries is a skill, not something you’re born knowing how to do.

You may even find your nervous system feels more like a five-alarm fire than it does, calm, confident, and assured.

If this is you, hear me when I say this: This is not a personality flaw you’re dealing with! You can overcome your anxious tendencies, fears, self-doubt and trouble setting boundaries with the right support.

✨High-functioning anxiety can be one of the most isolating experiences because you often come across as put together and/or successful from an outsider’s perspective.

No one knows the struggle you’re experiencing on the inside and that can be a really exhausting and lonely experience!

⭐️ Do you relate with this experience of your external presentation not matching your internal distress? If so, you’re not alone. It’s a common experience for so many with high-functioning anxiety! If you relate, I think you’ll really enjoy my “High-Functioning Anxiety Toolbox Masterclass”!

Have you felt or thought any of these things? If so, you’re certainly not alone.

Living with anxiety or other mental health issues can feel so isolating. We may want to come across as put together or like everything is okay.

Here’s the thing: It’s ok to struggle. It’s ok to have these thoughts. And perhaps the first step for you can be realizing that others around you have felt this way at times too.

We’re in it together! ❤️‍🩹

👉 Remember this: Just because you feel guilty, doesn’t mean you did anything wrong.

Setting boundaries is one of the toughest skills to learn, particularly for people who struggle with people-pleasing. Our nervous system’s have literally been shaped and hardwired by the need to protect ourselves from conflict or people being angry or disappointed with us at all costs.

It was a protective mechanism that likely came from your own childhood, whether from abuse/neglect or getting praised whenever you would comply or be “the easy child”.

But now, you probably find that these patterns get in your way, and understandably so. It’s hard to stand up for yourself the way you want to or even maintain a strong sense of self when you constantly prioritize everyone’s needs but your own.

Slowing down with intention is one of the best ways to send signals to your nervous system that you are safe and there is no threat.

Living at an urgent pace keeps your body/brain stuck in fight or flight. We weren’t meant to stay there!

If you struggle with high-functioning anxiety, urgency can feel contagious. A stressed tone, a last-minute request, a disappointed face and suddenly your nervous system is acting like there’s a fire to put out.

But not every raised voice requires your immediate attention. Not every time-sensitive request requires you to de-prioritize yourself.

A few ways to practice this:

✔️ Pause before responding. Urgency thrives on immediacy. Give yourself space. “Let me think about that and get back to you.”

✔️ Check your body. If you feel tight, rushed, or pressured, that’s information. Slow down instead of speeding up.

✔️ Ask: Is this actually mine to fix? Discomfort is not the same as responsibility.

✔️ Use neutral boundaries. “I’m not able to do that today.” No overexplaining. No apologizing for existing.

You are allowed to move at a regulated pace. You don’t have to be held hostage to their urgency.

✨You’re probably familiar with the most common physical anxiety symptoms like elevated heart rate, trembling, or quickened breathing…

But did you know anxiety can cause a really wide range of physical symptoms?

Here are some often overlooked physical anxiety symptoms:

✔️ Having the sensation that there is a lump in your throat or having trouble swallowing

✔️ Having cold hands and feet (blood is diverted away from your hands and feet when you’re in fight or flight mode)

✔️ Feeling urgency to urinate frequently (the pelvic floor and ab muscles can tense up during periods of stress and cause bladder contractions)

✔️ Anxiety p**p (not a clinical term but includes things like diarrhea, constipation, nausea, bloating and excess gas)

✔️ Excessive Yawning (anxiety can cause a number of physiological changes that alter how we process air which can trigger excessive yawning in some people)

✔️ The feeling of pins and needles, tingling, or numbness (most often happens in the extremities)

Now, super important to note here - these symptoms don’t always point to anxiety, but they CAN. Please get checked out by a doctor if you’re experiencing any new or unusual symptoms.
