Take a look at some ways you can start to understand and better manage your worries through our interactive flowchart.
Do you find yourself often worrying and feel you need support? This could be pharmacy worry or worry in your personal life. On this page, we look at what worry is and explore how you can challenge your worries with a thought-provoking flowchart.
Worrying is feeling uneasy or being overly concerned about a specific situation or problem. It is often temporary and is different to anxiety. As a result, depending on what you’re worrying about, having these thoughts can have a range of effects on our lives. These effects can be positive, like helping us to problem solve and motivate us. They can also have a negative effect on our mental health, especially if we are constantly worrying, having unhelpful thoughts, or catastrophising.
Understanding your worries can help you to manage any unwanted or unhelpful thoughts and maintain a sense of control over your situation.
You can use the flowchart below to examine your worries and find a path for dealing with them. Print it off, write down your worry, and follow the chart to try and find a solution. If you’re a university tutor, trainee supervisor or pharmacy manager, you may also want to print it off and use it with your students/trainees/pharmacy team!
