When you feel overwhelmed, it’s like when you have a big pile of toys to clean up, but it feels like too much and you don’t know where to start. Your brain feels like it’s juggling too many balls at once, and it makes you feel tired or a little worried. It’s okay to feel like this sometimes, and asking for help can make it better.

Imagine your favorite ice cream cone, and suddenly it starts to melt really fast. You want to eat it all, but it’s dripping everywhere and you can’t catch all the drips. That’s like being overwhelmed. You want to do everything, but it feels like too much is happening at once.

Another way to think about it is like being in a room with too many balloons. You try to hold all of them, but some start to float away. It’s hard to keep track, and it can feel a bit chaotic. Remember, it’s okay to let some balloons go or ask someone to help hold them. This helps make everything feel a little bit easier.
