Anxiety & Depression
Recognizing the Signs:
- Overwhelmed all the time: Constant worry, fear, or even panic attacks can make it super hard to do anything, even things that seem easy. Feeling down all the time can make even fun stuff feeling boring.
- Alone in the crowd: Anxiety and depression can make it tough to hang out with friends or family. You might feel lonely and disconnected, even when you're surrounded by people.
- School feels impossible: It can be hard to focus or pay attention in class when you're feeling stressed or down. This can lead to bad grades and feeling like a failure.
- Aches & pains: Headaches, stomachaches, trouble sleeping, and feeling tired all the time are common when you're anxious or depressed. These can make you feel even worse.
