Crecí en un hogar donde la depresión, la ansiedad, desórdenes alimenticios no existían—
la salud mental no existía.
To my parents’ defense,
They grew up in a Mexican home that did not have knowledge about mental health.
We always worried about our physical health.
Taking care of our body
But neglecting our mind.
Crecí en un hogar al que le costaba hablar sobre la salud mental.
To my grandparents’ defense,
They grew up in a Mexican home that did not acknowledge mental health.
We ignore our minds even when it’s screaming.
Talking about our feelings was weak,
And seeing a therapist was not an option.
Crecí en un hogar en el que era difícil reconocer la salud mental.
To my family’s defense,
They grew up in a society that didn’t prioritize mental health.
