Feeling Worried

Everyone feels worried sometimes, such as before a test, a performance or a big change. Worries can feel very big, but they often become smaller when you share them. Your body may feel tense, your stomach may ache or you may find it hard to sleep.

Breathing slowly, writing your worries down and talking with an adult can all help. Remember that worrying is a natural feeling, and it is okay to ask for help.
