Daily Assessment of Symptoms – Anxiety

Every day, we want to check and see how we're feeling. One feeling that some people might have is called anxiety. Anxiety is when you feel worried or scared about something that might happen.

To check if we're feeling anxious, we can ask ourselves some questions. Do we feel nervous or jittery? Do we have a tightness in our chest or stomach? Are we having trouble focusing on things? These are all signs that we might be feeling anxious.

By checking in with ourselves every day and noticing how we feel, we can start to understand when we're feeling anxious and what might trigger those feelings. This can help us learn how to manage our anxiety and feel more calm and relaxed.
