The Happier Approach: Quieting your High Functioning Anxiety Episode 106: The Benefits Of High Functioning Anxiety Are Destroying You
You look out for all the details, attend all the meetings, make sure the bills get paid and plan the next vacation to Disney.
On the inside, you’re wondering if you're the only one who cares or is even capable of getting things done.
