From outside you have it together: reliable, productive, the one everyone counts on. Inside, though, a machine runs that never switches off — worry, tension, the sense that if you relax everything will collapse.
This is often high-functioning anxiety: perfectionism, trouble saying «no», endless lists, a tense body, insomnia from racing thoughts. Because you cope, no one sees the cost — until burnout arrives.
The goal isn't to lose your drive, but for fear to stop doing the driving. In therapy we work with the self-critical voice, you learn to calm your body and tell real responsibility apart from automatic panic.
