A Teen's Guide to Anxiety: Lifting the Weight of Worry

When you are a teen, it is common to experience anxiety in different areas of your life, whether it be school, sports, or social interactions. Anxiety is characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts—that nagging voice in your head that makes you second-guess every decision. You may even experience physical symptoms like sweating, trembling, and a rapid heart rate. It's important to understand and manage the anxiety you may be experiencing. Counselor Eliza Huie wants to help you identify anxiety by recognizing common signs and encourages you to share your experience with a trusted adult. She also introduces the acronym N-E-A-R to help you manage anxiety: Notice bodily responses, Explore the causes and your emotions, Attend to what is going on and engage in the calming process, and Remember God's promises and how his Word helps you in your struggle with anxiety. Anxiety can disrupt life, but you can use these simple tools to help you turn to your God, who is near when things feel overwhelming.
