ANXIETY, OVERTHINKING and SELF-TRUST
When your mind is always working, it can be hard to feel at rest.
You may be capable, thoughtful, organized, and highly responsible. You may be the person who plans ahead, notices what others miss, anticipates problems before they happen, and keeps many parts of life moving.
These strengths can serve you well, but when your mind rarely stops scanning, preparing, rehearsing, or second-guessing, competence can become exhausting.
You may replay conversations long after they end, research decisions long after you have enough information, prepare for outcomes that may never happen, struggle to relax when everything is actually okay, or question yourself even when experience tells you that you are capable.
From the outside, this may not look like anxiety. It may simply look like someone who has everything handled.
Inside, however, you may feel as though you are always one step ahead of the next possible problem.
Anxiety Can Hide Inside Competence
Not all anxiety looks like panic.
Sometimes it looks like overpreparing, perfectionism, difficulty delegating, checking, reassurance-seeking, staying busy, trying to make the “right” decision, reading subtle changes in another person's mood, or running through every possible scenario before you allow yourself to act.
These strategies can create a temporary sense of control.
They may also keep your nervous system in a quiet state of readiness.
You are functioning, but are rarely fully off duty.
