Anxiety

Anxiety Can Feel Overwhelming — Especially When You Feel Everything Deeply

If you’re someone who experiences emotions intensely, anxiety can feel like a constant background noise — buzzing with “what ifs,” second-guessing, and a sense that something is always just a little bit off. It’s more than stress. It’s a nervous system stuck in overdrive.

You might find it hard to relax, hard to focus, or hard to stop the cycle of worry — even when you know, logically, there’s nothing urgent to fear. This isn’t about being dramatic. It’s about being deeply tuned in — and not having the tools (yet) to quiet the alarm bells going off inside you.

What Anxiety Can Feel Like

Anxiety affects everyone differently, but common signs include:

• Constant worry about everyday situations

• Feeling restless, on edge, or easily overwhelmed

• Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep

• Fatigue or feeling drained, even after rest

• Difficulty concentrating or staying present

• Muscle tension, headaches, or stomach pain

• Racing thoughts or a feeling that your mind won’t stop

• Shortness of breath, lightheadedness, or heart pounding

• Avoiding situations that feel unpredictable or out of your control

When You’re Highly Sensitive, Anxiety Can Feel Even Bigger

Highly sensitive people often experience anxiety more acutely. Your body might pick up on subtle cues and internalize them as danger. You might feel responsible for keeping things “together” — for yourself and everyone around you.

You may find yourself:

• Worrying about health, relationships, or performance

• Overanalyzing conversations or anticipating worst-case scenarios

• Feeling guilt or shame for not being able to “just calm down”

• Struggling with emotional intensity that feels impossible to manage

If any of this resonates with you, know this: your anxiety isn’t a flaw. It’s a signal — and one that can be worked with, not silenced or pushed away.
