¿Puedo Hablar de Mi Salud Mental! / Can I Talk about My Mental Health?! [Spanish]

By Enrique Aparicio and BEATRIZ CEPEDA

Desde su exitoso p?dcast, Puedo hablar!, Enrique Aparicio (Esn?rquel) y Beatriz Cepeda (Perra de Sat?n) rompen tab?es y tratan con naturalidad cuestiones como la ansiedad, la depresi?n, los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria o la ideaci?n suicida.

El libro Puedo hablar de mi salud mental! es el puente que quieren tender a todas las personas que intuyen que hay algo en su vida que falla, pero no se atreven a pedir ayuda. Su ejemplo, el de dos personas para las que la terapia ha sido fundamental, puede servir de impulso para quienes saben que deben arreglar algo en su cabeza, aunque no sepan bien lo que es.

«Durante mucho tiempo cre? que el sufrimiento era intr?nseco a la vida, una consecuencia natural de hacerse mayor. En terapia empec? a deshacer el precario castillo de naipes sobre el que hab?a construido mi visi?n del mundo: descubr? que ser gay y gordo no solo eran dos simp?ticas circunstancias, sino partes de mi identidad que me hab?an expuesto a una serie de violencias que me condicionaban. La ayuda profesional me dado herramientas fundamentales. Por eso quiero que, si crees que la necesitas, acudas a ella cuanto antes . -Enrique Aparicio, Esn?rquel

«Cuando empec? a engordar mi vida cambi? por completo. Pas? de ser una ni?a sin problemas a una con un problema muy gordo. Nuestra sociedad hace creer a las ni?as que engordar es algo muy grave contra lo que deben luchar. Cuando iba al m?dico y me quejaba de los nervios, ya que no sab?a lo que era la ansiedad, le explicaba que sufr?a ataques, dolores de cabeza muy frecuentes y otros s?ntomas. La ?nica respuesta que recib?a era: Tienes que adelgazar, haz deporte y come menos. Acab? desarrollando un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria. Si he contado mi historia y he escrito este libro es para pon?rselo m?s f?cil a otras personas . -Beatriz Cepeda, Perra de Sat?n

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Through their successful podcast, Puedo hablar! (Can I Talk?!), Enrique Aparicio (Esn?rquel) and Beatriz Cepeda (Perra de Sat?n) break taboos and deal naturally with issues such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and even suicidal thinking.

The book Can I Talk About My Mental Health?! is a bridge that they want to build for all the people who sense that there is something wrong with their life, but do not dare to ask for help. It is an example of two people for whom therapy has been fundamental and it can serve as an impulse for those who know that they must fix something inside their head, even if they don't know exactly what it is.

"For a long time, I believed that suffering was an intrinsic part of life, a natural consequence of getting older. In therapy I began to undo the fragile house of cards on which I had built my world vision: I discovered that being gay and fat were not only two nice conditions but parts of my identity that had exposed me to a series of violence that prejudiced me. Professional help gave me the fundamental tools to face all of this. That's why I want you to go to therapy as soon as possible if you think you need it." -Enrique Aparicio, Esn?rquel

"When I started to gain weight, my life changed completely. I went from being a girl with no problems to one with a very big problem. Our society makes girls believe that gaining weight is something very serious that they must fight against. When I went to the doctor and complained about my nerves, since I didn't know what anxiety was, I explained that I suffered panic attacks, very frequent headaches, and other symptoms. The only answer I received was: You must lose weight, play sports, and eat less. I ended up developing an eating disorder. That is why I have told my story and have written this book, to make it easier for other people". -Beatriz Cepeda, Perra de Sat?n
