The Feelings Files
About the feelings files
- Feelings can be confusing — these pages help you understand them and find what helps.
- Each file looks at a different feeling — what it is, why we have it, and what helps when it feels big or tricky.
- You’ll find ideas, stories, and things you can try to help your feelings settle.
- All feelings are OK — learning about them helps you feel more in control.
Worry, stress and anxiety
Worry happens when your brain is trying to protect you from danger — even small things can set it off!
A bit of worry can help you focus or prepare, but too much can make your body feel fizzy or your brain full of “what ifs.”
Find ways to spot worry early and calm it down before it takes over.

But if the sadness doesn’t seem to go away, or you stop enjoying things you used to love, it’s important to talk to someone.
