We often think of anxiety as something that can bring our life to a halt. Constant panic attacks, lack of concentration at work, and being medicated is what we normally visualise anxiety as. And yet, there exist people who live with anxiety and excel at work and in life in general.

This is high-functioning anxiety. Although, it is not considered to be a real medical diagnosis—people with high-functioning anxiety exhibit many symptoms of an anxiety disorder.
