Survivor's Guilt (trigger warning)

I guess this is my first post so I should introduce myself. I'm Grace. I'm 21 and a junior in college. I've been in remission from leukemia for 7 years. But I can't seem to shake my guilt for being alive. I lost 3 close friends who I met at the hospital to cancer. I feel like I can't fully enjoy my life because I hate myself for surviving cancer and feel like I don't deserve to be alive any more than my friend did. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

I don't know if MJ will help you. I didn't read up on your personal journey. I hope I didn't offend you. Alcohol will end your life and the fact that you are here, means you are capable and willing to figure out how to live again. I hope to be supportive and encouraging in your healing.

Thank you!!! That means a lot to me. I'm trying to find better coping mechanisms.
