Imagine your brain is like a toy that can only hold so many pieces. When you get stressed, it's like you're trying to add more toys than the box can hold, and everything gets messy. That’s why small things like missing the bus or getting a bad grade can feel super big.
Examples
- Getting lost on the way to school can make you feel completely overwhelmed.
- Your brain sees a small problem as an emergency.
