A couple of things that might help right now

Follow the circle: breathe in as it grows, breathe out as it shrinks. Four rounds.

Tap each one off as you find it. This helps your brain feel steady again.

  • Name 5 things you can see
  • Name 4 things you can touch
  • Name 3 things you can hear
  • Name 2 things you can smell
  • Name 1 thing you can taste

Nice work โ€” you just walked your brain back to right now. ๐ŸŒค๏ธ

What is a mood check-in?

A mood check-in is a quick way to notice how you're feeling. Instead of writing a whole journal entry, you pick the weather that matches your mood today, from sunny to stormy.

Naming a feeling is a small step, but it helps. When you check in every day, you start to see patterns, like which days feel heavier or what tends to help. That makes it easier to explain how you feel to a parent, teacher, or counselor.

Is it private?

Yes. You don't need an account, and your check-ins are saved only in your own browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to anyone.

What if today feels stormy?

If you pick a harder mood, the check-in will show a breathing exercise and a grounding activity you can try right away. For more tools, visit the Stress & Anxiety Toolkit. If you ever feel unsafe, call or text 988 any time.
