We don’t talk about the physical symptoms of anxiety enough.

Like that horrible churning feeling in your stomach. Or feeling light-headed or dizzy. Or pins and needles.

Anxiety can affect our body in so many ways. Such as:

• Trembling or shaking
• Feeling restless or unable to sit still
• Aches and pains like headaches or sore muscles
• Faster breathing
• A fast, thumping or irregular heartbeat
• Sweating or hot flushes
• Sleep problems
• Grinding your teeth, especially at night
• Nausea (feeling sick)
• Needing the toilet more or less often
• Changes in your s*x drive
• Having panic attacks

Sometimes it might be hard to work out if your symptoms are related to anxiety. Or to your physical health.

If you’re unsure or worried, talk to your GP. Meanwhile if you want to find out more about anxiety and what can be done to ease it, please visit our website 💙

What’s hiding under the surface? Understanding, talking it out, finding coping mechanisms is the key to ‘thawing out’ the iceberg.

When a child is overwhelmed, their behaviour often looks loud, chaotic, or challenging — but internally, their nervous system is signalling distress. In those moments, distance doesn’t create calm. It creates fear, shame, and disconnection.

What truly helps is an anchor: a steady adult who can hold the moment with calm, presence, and understanding.

This morning's quote is a reminder that children don’t outgrow the need for co-regulation. They grow through it.

If you’re supporting a child who struggles with big feelings, our Managing Big Feelings Toolkit offers step-by-step guidance and practical strategies — available via the link in comments below ⬇️ or through the Linktree Shop in Bio.
