Estoy de vuelta y ahora hablando en español, porqué me recordé que me encantaría ser fluente y para eso necesitamos practicar, ¿eh?
Acerca de mi salud mental, yo estoy solamente un poquito mejor, pero aún deprimida, penso que yo no estoy me esforzando lo suficiente, na verdad, algunos días ayer yo leí en algún lugar acerca de mecanismos para lidiar con las emociones VS lidiar con las situaciones. Yo me di cuente que yo solamente intento lidiar con mis emociones (y aun no sé bien hacer eso)………..
Más tarde yo tendré una sesión de tarot con mí amigo, yo penso en preguntar:
1 Cómo mejorar mí comunicación
2 Cómo mejorar mí salud mental
3 Qué debo hacer acerca de trabajo y universidad
……………….
Ahora mismo estoy queriendo hundirme más en la depresión, dios mío, yo estoy también intentando recordarme que yo necesito ser más activa en mi recuperación, yo necesito eligir mejorar en todos los momentos de todos los días, ¿sí o no? Yo necesito eligir ser una persona mejor y yo necesito hacer lo que puedo para mejorar.
Me encanta muchísimo escribir en español, ahora mismo yo quiero escribir cualquier cosa solamente pelo placer de escribir en español jajajaja y me encanta decir “¿sí o no?” como Pablo Escobar en Narcos o “¿eh?” como cualquiera en Rebelde jajaja
Yo me di cuenta que yo tengo 7 meses para ser la persona que me yo quiero muchísimo ser, yo espero que en el día 17 de febrero de de 2022 yo seré una persona sociable, con salud mental, buena artista, más activa en el movimiento esperantista, más delgada, una mejor persona en general y otras cosas más.
Given the great strides toward equality the LGBTQ+ community has made in recent years — including the legalization of same-sex marriage nationwide and increased representation of queer people in media — it would seem to hold that today’s queer youth have much better lives than their predecessors.
But beyond the most sweeping victories for LGBTQ+ rights, today’s queer youth still face massive challenges, which are compounded where they intersect with race. Feeling unsafe at school and feelings of worthlessness plague young queer people, as do startlingly high rates of depression and lack of sleep.
These revelations and more were exposed in the groundbreaking new “LGBTQ Youth Report,” conducted by the Human Rights Campaign in conjunction with researchers at the University of Connecticut. A survey of over 12,000 LGBTQ+ teenagers across the nation, it paints an intimate portrait of the obstacles queer youth face at home, in school, and in their communities — and found that supportive families and schools are key to their wellbeing,
An alarming 77 percent of LGBTQ+ teenagers, defined in the report as youth 13 to 17 years old, reported feeling depressed or down over the week preceding the survey, and 95 percent expressed having trouble sleeping at night. The report notes that these high rates could be explained by the variety of stressors young queer people face, including harassment, family and peer rejection, bullying from their peers, isolation and a lack of a sense of belonging.
Sixty-seven percent of respondents, for example, say they’ve heard family members make negative comments about LGBTQ+ people. “I overhear anti-LGBTQ slurs on the bus every single school day,” says one respondent. Overall, only 26 percent of LGBTQ+ youth report to feeling safe in their schools, and only 24 percent say they can “definitely” be themselves at home with their family.
The mental health crisis facing LGBTQ+ teens is compounded by lack of access to adequate and affirming counseling services. Only 41 percent of respondents say they have received psychological or emotional counseling to address their mental health issues within the past 12 months. And only 37 percent of respondents of color say they’ve received psychological or emotional counseling in the past 12 months. Youth who have received counseling, the report notes, reported better mental health outcomes.
“These harrowing statistics show the devastating toll rejection by family and peers, bullying and harassment, and apathy on the part of too many adults is having on America’s young people,” says HRC President Chad Griffin in a press release. “When this administration rescinds guidance protecting transgender students, or when lawmakers attempt to grant a license to discriminate to schools, colleges, and universities, it further erodes the fragile landscape for young people across the nation.”
Young LGBTQ+ respondents also say they hesitate to come out in healthcare environments, which can prevent their specific needs from being met. A majority of them, 67 percent, say they have not revealed their sexual orientation to their care provider, and 61 percent say they have not revealed their gender identity.
“I live in the Bible Belt,” one respondent says. “Also I’m afraid that any information or questions that I have aren’t confidential between me and my councilor. I’m afraid he’ll call my parents or try to convince me that my sexuality is wrong.”
But the report also shows signs of hope. 91 percent of youth report feeling pride in being an LGBTQ+ person, and 93 percent are proud to be a part of the community. Three out of five LGBTQ+ students, meanwhile, say they have access to an LGBTQ+ student club at their school, which has been shown to improve quality of life.
La realidad duele y más cuando estas parado notando que todos progresan y vos, estas ahí, parado en el tiempo, perdiendo el tiempo.
Tratas de buscarte porque nunca te encontraste, creíste que ya estabas de pie, que estabas progresando, avanzando, pero sabes bien que eso era todo una mentira.
No salis de esa burbuja toxica llamada “tu maldita cabeza” que te hunde y tiene el poder sobre vos.
Vivis tu realidad intolerante, pedis que te salven ya este estanque porque ya no aguantas ni un minuto más en este parque.
En este parque oscuro, lleno de lágrimas, de espantos y amantes.
Esos amantes nombrados sentimientos que son horrendos, porque si no es uno es otro pidiendo que te alejes de tu felicidad lo más pronto.
Que no la encuentres, que no te encuentres, que difícil es buscar algo en este estanque.
Quiero salir y ver mi vida, ver mi vida adentro de un tanque para no salir y que nada me espante.
Me duele ser así, estoy harta
Porque hasta mís pensamientos se espanten de este ser que en tu vida ya no encaja, que tiene un alma y una casa, pero que con eso no le basta
Porque esa angustia no se va de casa, está intacta y es las paredes de mi casa.
