Bio

I've always try to connect with people with whom I and we could share, understand, be benevolent and bring sweetness in a mutual way in our lives.


I'm a mom of 25 years old of an unspeakable baby with just some words, as her brightness lightens in all directions simultaneously. It would be so insufficient limit myself saying she's wonderful, she's terribly funny, she's so active, that she makes us melt with any little ways she has to express herself, to move, to look, to smile at any unexpected thing or to get so excited when she sees her dad or myself appears.


She was born in a big village at 2100 meters above the sea, in the poorest State from Mexico, and where so many births take place, from locals as from foreigners that came here to give birth naturally, guided by the ancestral practices of midwives.


Lilas, this is the name I thought about, and it convinced my partner.

In Spanish, people mostly think about the colour, but in French this is both the tree and its flowers. We got two Lilas at my mom's home, and I always love them. It's flowers is so big, but itself made of countless tiny flowers. Once, the trees blossomed while it was snowing, and that image was captured, to remember the unexpected beauty of Mother Earth, de nuestra Madre Tierra.


This is the beautiful and happy aspect I would like to be able to fully live. From my personal part, I'm currently at the lowest level of my life. The arrival of Lilas has been a big revelation about all the troubles and that damaging ill-being I have been carrying with myself for so long time. Depression, anxiety, eating disorder (in particular overeating), neurodivergence, hyperempathy, attention deficit disorder, bordeline deficit disorder has been so much category I haven't been diagnosed for but in which I can find myself, in order to try and begin to understand why it's ruining my life.


I know I need serious help, to understand better how I function and what could be the "strategies" that would be helpful and meaningful for me. I've tried for so long time to be "mentally and physically balanced" and work my "discipline" but I realized these words are part of the whole self development market that can make people feel worst about themselves and even more lost and alone than they already feel.


I hope finding nice people here to share about our lives and get emotional support

...See more I'm a mom of an incredible 7 months old baby l, but I feel so lost and don't manage/ know how to go through what I would call a "long-lasted depression" that has been very tough since 2021.Ive felt more than exhausted and don't manage to recuperate, and easily fall in autodestruction acts, like taking refuge in food, and particularly the sweet ones. I live in Mexico, with no physically close friends, all are living in other places. I was so willing since I was struggling too much in France to get a regular Therapy, no matter the method was employed, just wanted help, and recognized it. But they always have been suspended for external reasons. I've just get one in Mexico, then my psychologist gave birth, and like two months after I couldn't wait more to have session again with her then I started to see another therapist. But as it's quite informal : I give her French classes in exchange for her session, it's not regular and it has been 2 weeks I didn't have session with her, because she's in another place, even if we could do it through zoom or another meeting platform. I feel I really need like two sessions by week, have so much to get rid off. Don't know, maybe find people here than are living though things too and to whom I can give and receive emotional support. I love Arts in general and love to express myself through them, also yoga and other practices. But with the anxiety, guilty and very low self-confidence I got in myself, I've lost almost lost all my passions and at the same time, get so disconnected from myself.
