Anxiety in company/Ansiedad en compañía
Having a disorder is fun for the one who romanticizes it, the one who experiences it is hell, but when you are the one who lives with the disorder, you hope that they don't behave like a sick person; I have generalized anxiety disorder, I have learned to control it but above all to accept it on many occasions. This drawing is about my relationship with anxiety and with the person who helped me the most to face it.
I hope you enjoy it because I feel wonderful after finishing this drawing, it was a sigh of relief in my brain and my heart.
Tener un trastorno es divertido para quien lo romantiza, el quien lo vive es un infierno pero cuando eres el que vive con el trastornado, esperas que no se comporte como una persona enferma; tengo trastorno de ansiedad generalizado, lo he aprendido a controlar pero sobre todo a aceptar en muchas ocasiones. Este dibujo trata de mi relación con la ansiedad y con la persona que me ayudo más a enfrentarla.
Espero lo disfruten porque yo me sentí de maravilla luego de terminar este dibujo, fue un suspiro de alivio en mi cerebro y mi corazón.
The idea came thanks to an anxiety attack in the middle of the day, everything clouded over in front of my eyes, my chest ached, I felt like my heart was beating hard and pumping blood furiously; I've been like this for years, with that rush of emotions, in another time I would have entered a crisis, I wouldn't have known what to do but now, with the experience of living sunk in that forest of fatal symptoms and thoughts full of poison, I know which of the paths I must not take I took the pencil with shaky hands, a knot in my stomach, dry throat as if I had swallowed a bag of sand by myself, I began to draw lines and this sketch came out, beautiful before my eyes because I felt proud that after a long time I have learned to translate my anxiety and put it on paper, which has been my ally, my accomplice and my villain so many times.
La idea vino gracias a un ataque de ansiedad en mitad del día, todo se nublo enfrente de mis ojos, me dolía el pecho, sentida como mi corazón latía fuerte y bombeaba furioso sangre; llevo años así, con ese subidón de emociones, en otra época hubiese entrado en una crisis, no habría sabido que hacer pero ahora, con la experiencia de vivir hundida en ese bosque de síntomas fatales y pensamientos llenos de ponzoña, sé cuales de los caminos no debo tomar. Tome el lápiz con manos temblorosas, un nudo en mi estomago, garganta seca como si me hubiese engullido un saco de arena yo sola, comencé a trazar líneas y salió este boceto, hermoso ante mis ojos porque me sentí orgullosa de que después de mucho tiempo haya aprendido a plasmar mi ansiedad y ponerla en el papel, que tantas veces ha sido mi aliado, mi cómplice y mi villano.
There are people who accompanies you in that low moment, in my case it is my partner, he encourages me, he holds out his hand and always makes me feel better his breath in my ear telling me that everything will be fine, before his magic, my hands were sweating in flows, drop after drop I stained too many drawings, I was sorry to shake someone's hand, but since their hands touched mine, my hands have stopped sweating so much, I don't feel so much anxiety, time doesn't feel so fast, my hands are normal hands and I no longer feel ashamed to give it to someone else
But it is not easy, it is not easy to be with a person whose brain works at 4000 km/hr, who begins to concoct ridiculous ideas, catastrophic scenarios and more things that make the other feel dizzy. That is why the hand on the neck, more than once I have had to hold and be held; having almost infinite patience, looking for a way to understand and be understood in so much anguish can be exhausting, I would give you an award in dollars, euros, yen and pesos for enduring so much and still say after each day of wild emotions "I love you ".
Hay personas que te acompaña en ese bajo momento, en mi caso es mi pareja, me da ánimos, me tienda la mano y me hace sentir mejor siempre su aliento en mi oído diciéndome que todo estará bien, antes de su magia, mis manos sudaban en caudales, gota tras gota manche demasiados dibujos, me daba pena darle la mano a alguien, pero desde que sus manos tocaron las mías, mis manos han dejado de sudar tanto, no siento tanta ansiedad, no me siento el tiempo tan a prisa, mis manos son manos normales y ya no me da pena dársela a alguien más.
Pero no es fácil, no es fácil estar con una persona la cual su cerebro funciona a 4000km/hr, que empieza a maquinar ideas irrisorias, escenarios catastróficos y más cosas que hacen sentir al otro con vértigo. Por eso la mano en el cuello, más de una vez he tenido que sostener y ser sostenido; tener paciencia casi infinita, buscar la manera de entender y ser entendido en tanta angustia puede ser exhaustivo, le daría un premio en dólares, euros, yenes y en pesos por soportar tanto y aun así decir luego de cada día de emociones salvaje "Te amo".
It's nice to see how you have something to lean on, it's nice to have a shoulder to turn to and say how you feel today, thanks to life, the universe and God for having you, if you're reading this, you help me more than you think and you are more than you can think, I think that each person is a biome and you are in this biome the fruits and flowers that give color to this world that exists within me, your individuality has taught me the totality of my being and there are not enough words to thank you for such an act of love that you have given me for so many years.
El placentero ver como tienes a donde apoyarte, es lindo tener un hombro al cual acudir y decir como te sientes el día de hoy, gracias a la vida, al universo y a Dios de tenerte, si estas leyendo esto, me ayudas más de lo crees y eres más de lo que puedes llegar a pensar, pienso que cada persona es una bioma y tu eres en este bioma los frutos y las flores que le dan color a este mundo que hay dentro de mi, tu individualidad me ha enseñado la totalidad de mi ser y no hay palabras suficientes para agradecerte tal acto de amor que me has brindado durante tantos años.
Thank you for getting here, reading me, being so patient and appreciating my drawings, it restores my desire to continue continuing in art, I hope you have someone to turn to in your darkest days, be supported and support the people who love and that never a tear that comes out of your eyes is in vain because they are releasing all the sorrows and joys.
Gracias por llegar hasta acá, leerme, ser tan paciente y apreciar mis dibujos, me restauran mis ganas de seguir continuando en el arte, espero que tengan a alguien a quien acudir en sus días más oscuros, ser soportados y soporten a las personas que amen y que nunca una lagrima que salga de sus ojos sea en vano porque están liberando todas las penas y alegrías.
