@purposelyrestored: When we think of anxiety, we often picture someone who looks worried or nervous. But in teens, anxiety doesn't always look that way. Sometimes it looks like: • irritability • withdrawing from family • perfectionism • avoiding school or activities • trouble sleeping • frequent headaches or stomachaches • needing constant reassurance • becoming easily overwhelmed From the outside, it can be mistaken for laziness, defiance, or "just being a teenager." But underneath those behaviors, there may be a teen who is carrying more worry than they know how to express. Every behavior tells a story. When we become curious instead of jumping to conclusions, we create space to better understand what our teens may be experiencing. #teens #anxietyawareness #fyp #counselorsoftiktok #traumainformedcare
