π October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While we often focus on the physical impact of breast cancer, itβs just as important to honor the emotional and mental health journey that comes with it.
π A diagnosis can bring fear, grief, anxiety, and uncertainty. Healing doesnβt just happen in the bodyβit happens in the heart and mind, too.
β¨ Ways to support mental health during breast cancer:
β’ π« Stay connected with loved ones
β’ π Journal or express emotions through writing/art
β’ π§ Practice calming techniques (breathing, meditation, grounding)
β’ π¬ Seek therapy or support groups for emotional processing
β’ π Be gentle with yourselfβhealing is not linear
Letβs remind survivors, those in treatment, and their families that they are not alone. π
