Anxiety

Everyone feels anxious sometimes, especially when things get stressful. But if your anxiety is constantly interfering with your daily life, like stopping you from hanging with friends or going to class, it might be time to talk to a professional. It's always better to check it out and get some support if you need it!

Anxiety can make you overthink everything, leading to misunderstandings and conflict. Try communicating openly with the people in your life about how you're feeling. Also, practicing mindfulness and grounding techniques can help you stay present and avoid blowing things out of proportion.

When you feel that wave of anxiety, try the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique: name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. Deep breathing exercises can also help calm your nervous system. Remember, you've got this!
