Working with your worries

Everyone worries at times, and it’s quite normal to worry in response to stressful life circumstances. These could include financial or relationship problems, exams, or people in our lives being unwell. But if your worries and fears are constant and overwhelming, this can cause distress and can get in the way of you being able to do the things you want to do. If this sounds familiar, it might be helpful to understand why we worry and to learn about some techniques you can use to manage these feelings.
