Overwhelm happens when you have too much to think about, do, or feel all at once. Your brain gets overloaded like a computer with too many tabs open. School, activities, friendships, family, your changing body – it all piles up. You might feel frozen, scattered, or like you can’t handle anything. Overwhelm is your signal that you need to slow down and simplify.
