What Is High-Functioning Anxiety?

If you've ever typed "why do I feel anxious all the time" into Google at 11pm while everything on the outside looks fine, you’re not alone. A lot of the people I work with are doing all the things: showing up for their families, getting their work done, checking every box, while quietly feeling like they're running on fumes underneath it all. That's often what high-functioning anxiety looks like, it doesn't always look like what people expect anxiety to look like.
