Sometimes, it’s hard to explain what anxiety feels like. It’s not just being worried — it’s like your mind races, your heart pounds, and even the smallest tasks can feel overwhelming. One minute you’re fine, and the next, your chest feels tight and your thoughts are spinning.

Even just having these kinds of conversations can change everything. Knowing you’re not broken or weak, but simply dealing with something millions of people go through, helps make anxiety feel a little less heavy — and a lot more manageable………. Read More
