Survivor's guilt can manifest in various ways, including:
- Emotional Symptoms: These can include sadness, anxiety, depression, and a pervasive sense of guilt. Survivors may also experience feelings of unworthiness and self-blame.
- Behavioral Changes: Some survivors may withdraw from social activities, avoid discussing their cancer experience, or engage in risk-taking behaviors as a way to cope with their guilt.
- Physical Symptoms: The stress and emotional burden of survivor's guilt can lead to physical symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, and difficulty sleeping.
