What are anxiety levels?

Anxiety levels are like how full your backpack feels before a big trip, some days it’s light, and other days it’s super heavy.

Imagine you have a backpack that can hold 10 rocks. When you’re calm, you only carry 1 or 2 rocks. That means your anxiety level is low. But when something worries you, like having to give a speech in front of the class, suddenly your backpack feels full with 8 or 9 rocks! That means your anxiety level is high.

When your anxiety level is low, it’s easy to walk, play, and laugh. But when it's high, you might feel tight in your chest, like there are extra rocks pushing against you from the inside. You might even want to hide or run away, just like how you sometimes hide under your bed when you’re really scared.

Sometimes anxiety levels can change quickly, like when the bell rings and you realize it’s time for math test instead of recess! Anxiety levels are like how full your backpack feels before a big trip, some days it’s light, and other days it’s super heavy.
