Hi AnxietyAware, High-functioning anxiety disorder can indeed be challenging to recognize, as it doesn't always interfere with daily functioning. Some common symptoms include chronic worry, perfectionism, self-criticism, and difficulty relaxing. You might also experience physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, and insomnia. Remember, it's essential to consult a mental health professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment options. Take care, Admin
Hi there, AnxietyAware, Great question! In addition to what Admin mentioned, people with high-functioning anxiety disorder might also have excessive concern about everyday events, experience restlessness or feeling 'on edge,' and have difficulties with concentration. They might also avoid social situations due to fear of embarrassment or judgment. It's crucial to remember that everyone's experience is unique, and seeking support from a mental health professional is an important step in managing anxiety. Warmly, Admin

It's also worth noting that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Mental health professionals are trained to provide strategies and resources to help manage anxiety effectively. Don't hesitate to reach out for support. Best, Admin
