Your Wellbeing
Everyone has ups and downs. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, low, or just not quite yourself, you're not alone—and support is available. Below you'll find some short, friendly guides to help you understand common experiences like anxiety, stress, and low mood.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress. It can feel like worry, restlessness, tension, or a sense that something bad is going to happen—even if you’re not sure why. You might notice it in your body too: racing heart, tight chest, difficulty sleeping or concentrating.
Sometimes anxiety is tied to specific things like money worries, relationships, or health. Other times, it can feel like it’s always there in the background.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or unable to relax, you’re not alone. Many people experience anxiety—especially during times of stress. It’s okay to talk about it, and support is available.
What is Stress?
Stress is how your body and mind respond to pressure. It’s a part of everyday life—but when it builds up, it can take a real toll.
You might feel tense, irritable, drained, or like you’re running on empty. It can affect sleep, concentration, and decision-making. You might notice yourself snapping at people or reaching for ways to escape, like gambling, just to switch off.
Stress doesn’t mean you’re not coping—it means you need space, care, and support. And that’s okay.
What is Low Mood or Depression?
We all have times when we feel low. But when that low mood lingers, it can feel heavy and hard to shift.
You might feel tired all the time, lose interest in things you usually enjoy, or struggle to find motivation. Some people feel numb. Others feel sad, hopeless, or alone.
If this sounds familiar, please know it doesn’t have to stay that way. These feelings are more common than you think—and you don’t have to go through it on your own.
