Anxiety

High-functioning anxiety often goes unnoticed because it does not always look like what people expect anxiety to look like. On the outside, you might appear capable, productive, organized, and reliable. Inside, you may feel tense, overwhelmed, self-critical, or constantly on edge. Many people live this way for years without realizing that what they are experiencing is anxiety. If this resonates, you are not alone. Many individuals who seek counselling in Vancouver and through virtual counselling across BC share that they did not realize how much they were carrying until their body or emotions began asking for attention in louder ways. High-functioning anxiety can be deeply exhausting, especially when it remains unseen by others and even by yourself.
