Mental stuff is hard in part because we use terms that mean one thing in everyday contexts and mean something else in clinical. I've been seeing someone for some anxiety issues which it took me a long time to recognize I had, because I didn't *worry* about things.

I just made tons of contingency plans, and held myself to ludicrously high standards so I could feel like I'd meet those of other people. And that kind of conscientiousness tends to be rewarded in school/work/etc, so it's hard to recognize exactly when it becomes a problem.
