PANIC attacks, cold sweats and hyperventilation often come to mind when people first picture anxiety \u2014 but some forms of the condition are more subtle.<\/p>\n
TherapyJM, a mental health counsellor from the US, said there are six signs you are living with high-functioning anxiety.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The condition often goes undiagnosed because people are able to perform well at work and appear to have thriving social lives.<\/p>\n
However, inside they may be constantly struggling with feelings of self-doubt, stress and not measuring up.<\/p>\n
Over time, it can lead to a host of physical health issues as well, including putting on weight and sleep deprivation.<\/p>\n
TherapyJM said that while the condition may be difficult to spot, there are some clear signs that could indicate you are suffering from it.<\/p>\n
In a video on TikTok, he said: \u201cNumber one, you have a constant fear of disappointing or angering others.<\/p>\n \u201cNumber two, you\u2019re constantly planning for the worst case scenario. <\/p>\n "Number three, you have a really hard time relaxing.<\/p>\n \u201cNumber four, you really struggle making decisions. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Number five, you have a tough time getting your mind to shut off at night.<\/p>\n \u201cNumber six, you procrastinate and you only get things done at the very last minute.\u201d<\/p>\n Around 8million Brits live with anxiety disorders, according to Mental Health UK.<\/p>\n Data from Mind shows six per cent of Brits are diagnosed in any given week but fewer than half go on to access treatment.<\/p>\n High-functioning anxiety is not officially recognised in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.<\/p>\n Instead, people are usually diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder.<\/p>\n Symptoms include feeling restless or worried, having trouble concentrating or sleeping, dizziness and heart palpitations.<\/p>\n It can lead to weight gain because of high levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body, which causes fat to build up around the midsection.<\/p>\n Patients can be given talking therapies on the NHS and prescribed antidepressants like\u00a0 selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.<\/p>\n Exercising, quitting smoking and looking after physical health can all help as well, according to the health service.<\/p>\n<\/picture>SUPER HUMANS <\/span><\/p>\n
