Anxiety

Nothing seems to satisfy the worry bug.

Worried about school – getting sick – the dog dying – bad weather – or your safety.

Worries pop up non-stop. Tears, stomach aches, headaches, and missed days at school have no solution.

You are exhausted from constantly trying to reassure him or convince him that today’s worries won’t come true. And nothing seems to comfort him!

Being on edge – is no way to feel.

She cries one minute or becomes snappy the next. Is this what it’s like to be a teenager?

Your teen is emotional and moody, tortured by the “what ifs.” Her drive and determination have always impressed you, but now her passion is replaced with anxiety.

No matter how much you tell her how proud you are of her, she feels nothing is good enough.

This level of stress is not good! You lie awake worried about her.

The Weight of the World is on your shoulders.

Your chest feels tight. Your stomach has a pit in it, and your mind races.

Sometimes, it feels like the Weight of the World is crashing over you while keeping everyone else afloat.

Hiding your true thoughts and feelings makes it look like you have it all together. But you feel like you can’t handle one more thing on the inside.

You are exhausted – mentally and emotionally – at your breaking point.

Make anxiety your frenemy.

Anxiety feels like an enemy, but its job is to keep us safe – often too safe. Anxiety overestimates risk and underestimates our abilities to handle uncertainty.

It demands your attention by getting the heart pumping and hands tingling. Rather than being helpful in times of real threat, anxiety shows up daily, robbing us of joy and peace.
