Anxiety is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. When you feel stressed, like before a big test or when you're in danger, your brain sends a message to your body: get ready! Your heart beats faster, your muscles tense up, and sometimes you can't think straight, this is called the fight-or-flight response.
Examples
- You feel anxious before your first day at a new school.
- You freeze during a presentation even though you've practiced it.
