This audiobook gave me hope, now I know I’m not alone

Revisado: 09-13-22

I am grateful to have found Patrick’s blog where he shared the news about this audiobook. The story is captivating and with a tone of reality that allows you to connect with it.

There are many important points that are discussed, such as the importance of recognizing the situation in which you are facing a mental illness, the support system that is with you throughout the process and most importantly, how many times the family, especially Latinx, can try to minimize or hide the problem to protect you from the stigma that a diagnosis of mental illness brings.

Being part of the Latino community and having experienced similar situations first hand, I felt identified with the way in which the author tells the story, emphasizing the right moments, showing a real, honest process and with the ups and downs that can even be frustrating but that you are faced along the way. The fact that the story is told in the first person and allows you to discover the thoughts of the main character, his doubts, emotions and fears is a powerful tool to understand the complexity of the subject and the process of facing it, allows you not to feel alone. The truth is that he is a remarkable writer.

I had the opportunity to exchange some messages with the author and in addition to being talented, he is extremely kind. In the same way, the narrator is impressive, an excellent option taking into account his cuban background and the intensity he gave to each of the lines of the story, it was very simple and pleasant to listen to the story almost without pauses.

If you are on the road to the fight against a mental illness, if your family has trouble addressing the problem, if you feel that you are alone on this path... I recommend reading/listening to this book #EndTheStigma
