When unexpected life events like cancer, depression, or substance use disorder happen, the news is earth-shattering. You may be stunned, overwhelmed, and anxious all at once. You may feel numb. You don’t yet know what to expect with the journey ahead of you or how you’ll handle the upcoming weeks and months.
These initial feelings following a diagnosis are completely normal, but might not feel like it if you don’t know anyone battling the same situation. That’s why our real life stories matter. They introduce you to real life people who are experiencing the same things, and help patients, survivors, and supporters at all phases of their journey know that they aren’t alone.
By sharing your story with our community, you’ll help others who are new to these life events to feel more supported and not have to reinvent the wheel with tips, tricks, and hacks that worked for you. If you’d like to help others learn from your experience, we’ve created this short questionnaire.
Wherever you are in your healing journey, we’re here to fight this with you every step of the way. Thank you for being a part of our community 💛
