What are your thoughts about empathy vs. sympathy? Can you think of a time you were sympathizing rather than empathizing with someone?

Thank you for sharing the video Mrs. K!

Anxiety can be thought of as persistent, excessive, and unrealistic worry about everyday things.

40 million adults struggle with anxiety.

Symptoms of anxiety may include: constant, chronic worry. This worrying goes on every day, possibly all day. It can interfere with all aspects of daily life. Anxiety impacts ones ability to socialize with others.

Seeking support may make you feel anxious, but talking about how you feel is the first step in alleviating anxiety.

If you experience any symptoms of anxiety, there are many resources out there. Begin with talking to someone, like a parent, doctor, counselor, spiritual leader, friend, or spouse.

There is always HOPE!
