Do You Have Anxiety? Here Are the Signs Nobody Talks About

Do you have anxiety… or are you just overwhelmed, overstimulated, and stuck in survival mode?
In this episode of Not Your Therapist, licensed therapist Kayla Reilly breaks down the signs of high-functioning anxiety that many women miss — including overthinking, irritability, perfectionism, people pleasing, hypervigilance, and physical symptoms like exhaustion and chest tightness.
We’ll talk about how childhood experiences, emotional unpredictability, burnout, and nervous system dysregulation can shape anxiety in adulthood — and why so many high-achieving women feel constantly ‘on edge’ even when life looks fine from the outside.
If your brain never shuts off and relaxing feels impossible… this episode is for you.
