About In Her Anxiety

Hey, I’m Kirsten — professional overthinker, recovering perfectionist, and someone who could probably win a medal in “catastrophic thinking.”

In Her Anxiety started because, honestly, I’ve spent most of my life trying to figure out why my brain insists on turning every small inconvenience into a full-blown existential crisis. After years of trying to “fix” myself, I finally realized… maybe I’m not broken. Maybe my brain’s just enthusiastic.

Anxiety has been with me for as long as I can remember — sometimes whispering, sometimes yelling — but I’ve learned to work with it instead of against it. Along the way, I’ve picked up a whole toolkit of random-but-useful things that actually help: creative outlets, simplifying life, and even applying LEAN principles (because apparently, process improvement isn’t just for offices — it works on mental clutter too).

That’s what this blog is about: making sense of the chaos in a way that feels honest, a little funny, and occasionally insightful.

What You’ll Find Here

You won’t find toxic positivity or picture-perfect “how to be calm” advice here. This space is for people who are learning to live with anxiety as they are — messy, self-aware, and doing their best.

Expect reflections, small mindset shifts, experiments in simplifying life, and stories about what’s worked (and what’s flopped) for me along the way.

If you’ve ever said, “I’m fine” while internally vibrating at the frequency of a hummingbird — welcome, you’re in the right place.
