Feeling Stressed or Anxious
What is Stress?
Stress is your body’s way of responding to tough or challenging situations, like tests, arguments, or changes in your life. Everyone feels stress sometimes, and that’s okay.
What About Anxiety?
Anxiety is when worries or fears become strong and make you feel uneasy or nervous, even when you’re safe. Sometimes your heart races, your stomach hurts, or you find it hard to focus.
Managing stress and anxiety matters because when they show up, they can throw off your sleep, focus, mood, and body. This can make school, friendships, and learning harder. Practicing simple ways to calm your mind and body protects your brain, helps you make better choices, and helps your mental wellbeing.
