228. Unmasking 'Laziness': The Hidden Truths of High-Functioning Anxiety

Listen Later

In this powerful episode of The Anxiety Chicks Podcast, Alison and Taylor tackle the truth about laziness, mental health, and high-functioning anxiety. We break down the harmful stereotypes that label burnout, depression, and rest days as being “lazy” — and share personal stories about what’s really going on beneath the surface.

You’ll learn:

  • The difference between true laziness and mental health fatigue
  • How high-functioning anxiety and depression can hide behind a “put together” appearance
  • Why your brain and body need rest — and how to give it without guilt
  • Simple ways to redefine productivity and embrace self-care

    • If you’ve ever judged yourself for not “doing enough,” this episode will help you release the shame and find balance in your mental health journey.
