Anxiety is when you feel nervous, worried or afraid about a situation or about something happening, such as, when it is dark, or feeling sick. Sometimes you might feel anxiety most of the time, from when you wake until you go to bed.
Anxiety can make you feel nervous about doing things and stop you wanting to take part in things. You can feel tired, struggle with sleep, fear the future or worry about school and exams.
We all get anxious from time to time and this is quite normal. But if these feelings have started to affect how you live, it’s time to find some help. This book will help you understand what anxiety is, how your mind works and learn ways to help change how you feel.
In this book, we look at - feelings linked with anxiety, questions you may have, the fight, flight and freeze response, anxiety in your brain, feeding your worries, learning to face your fears, avoidance, breaking the cycle, speaking out, distraction techniques, positive mindset, planning, confidence building, alternative reassurance, challenge lists, journalling, and useful helplines and resources.
