The recent earthquakes that struck Cebu, Baguio, and Davao Oriental remind us that disasters affect not only our surroundings but also our mental well-being. It’s normal to feel anxious, fearful, or unsettled after such events.
The shaking may have stopped, but the aftershocks within can linger. Your emotions are valid — whether that'd be from direct contact with the earthquake or watching the distressing news, it’s okay to feel scared and uneasy after everything.
We provided you with some reminders that can help if an earthquake occurs in your area. Moreover, take a moment to breathe, ground, and reconnect with yourself. We included simple mindfulness techniques like deep breathing and grounding exercises can help calm your body and mind.
Let’s take care of our minds as we rebuild our homes and communities.
Reach out for support, stay connected, and remember — healing doesn’t happen overnight, but it begins when we talk about it. Stay safe and always remember that you matter.
