The terrible two with claws in deep
They make us err and make us weep
Who have us toss and turn at night
When pulses race, and chests get tight
The first prevents you being your best
Just before your biggest test
Or in your car, oh look you’ve stalled
Anxiety is what it’s called
The second strikes when you can’t cope
It scars your soul, and takes all hope
When lacking sleep, it plays its game
Depression is, it’s ghastly name
So how to fight this deadly pair?
Use these tools, see how you fare
Mindfulness, and CBT
They sometimes work, and both are free
Whatever way you bring the fight
Don’t let what’s good go out of sight
Try be strong and try be brave
Attempt a move outside the cave

We rely on the generosity of the public to fund our work and so far together we have achieved great things! Please do continue to support us so we can provide future generations in Ireland with the resources to recognise and talk about their emotions, and equip them to navigate the ever-changing world around them as they grow
