when you worry

Anxiety is normal. It’s your brain and body’s built-in alarm system,

and it has only one job: to protect you. Back when humans wore

animal hides and lived in caves, this alarm system helped your

ancestors escape from hungry animals.

fight

back

or

freeze so

you won’t

be noticed

or

run

away.

feelings, and your actions.
