Therapy for being high strung
Feeling high-strung often means you’re constantly “on,” with a nervous energy that makes it hard to relax or enjoy the present moment. Your mind might race through to-do lists, worst-case scenarios, or all the ways you “should” be doing more. This heightened state may be tied to perfectionism or the pressure to perform, often leading to physical tension, mental fatigue, and emotional overwhelm. Over time, it can feel like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough.
