Autorretrato un recordatorio / A self-portrait as a reminder
According to the WHO, depression is defined "as a recurrent mental disorder, with symptoms of sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, changes in sleep, appetite, among others. Depression ranges from mild to severe, and should be treated with great emphasis on the moderate to severe stage as it can lead to suicide.
Those of us who have experienced depression or live with it know in our own flesh how difficult it´s to be in it and how frustrating it´s to understand the origin of it. I think that one of the most difficult steps is to accept it and describe it, I stress that you should always seek help.
In my personal experience when I understood that I was suffering from it and needed to get out of it I decided to speak, speaking caused frustration in me, not knowing how to express that state of mind and describe it only with the phrase "I feel a void", the words at first did not flow and I said to myself if the words do not blossom the images do and here is the origin of these self-portraits that I have been sharing in this community.
Tu que elevaste a este de cuerpo de 1:57 de altura y 43 de peso
Me has dado la espalda y he caído
Las tantas veces que fui tu secuaz, las otras tantas que fui tu pilar
Toda subida abrupta tiene caída y hoy por hoy YO te doy la espalda
You who raised this body 5.1 tall and 94 weight
You turned your back on me and I fell
The many times that I was your henchman, the other many times that I was your pillar
Every abrupt rise has a fall and today I turn my back on you
These self-portraits are a reminder to me of that difficult stage of my life to which I hope never to return.
