About

As a Latino or other Person of Color, the weight of the news, policies, and everyday reminders that certain spaces were not built with you in mind is cumulative. Depression, anxiety, and stress show up the same as for anyone: affecting our concentration, sleep, energy, motivation, and relationships. The difference is that the state of the world has made it worse. It's in your body, and you're more reactive than usual. You're withdrawing from people you love because you have nothing left to give. You've been holding a lot for a long time. Life used to feel manageable but no longer does, and it's affecting what matters most to you.
