    Default Different ways to say not to worry

    What are different ways to say not to worry in English? "Don't worry" and "relax" are the only ones that come to mind.

    "Chillax" is a new one, combining "chill" and "relax." This is slang, of course.

    These mean "Don't get excited":
    "Keep your shirt on".
    "Don't get your knickers/panties in a knot/twist"

    But there's a difference between "Don't worry!" and "Relax!" For example, if someone said they were worried about their mother's illness, they wouldn't need to be told to "chill out".
