When Everything Feels Too Much (Teen)

When Everything Feels Too Much — Teen Edition

A calm, easy-to-read guide for teenagers who feel overwhelmed, stressed, shut down or unsure how to explain what is going on.

It helps young people make sense of big feelings, notice what their body and mind may be telling them, and find small steps that can make difficult moments feel more manageable.

Inside the guide:

• Understanding overwhelm, stress and shutdowns
• Simple ways to recognise early signs and triggers
• Practical tools for difficult moments
• Gentle prompts to work out what helps
• Ideas for telling a trusted adult what is going on
• Reassurance that needing support is okay

This guide provides general information and support. It is not a substitute for help from a trusted adult, school, GP or emergency service where someone is at immediate risk.
