Hello friends,
My name is Mariana Solarte, I'm a 23 year old colombian, who will be getting her psychology bachelor in a few months. I decided to became a mental health advocate and writer last year, when I was diagnosed with chronic major depressive disorder, in addition to the anxiety and suicide ideation I had battle my whole life, fibromyalgia for the past 6 years and arthritis for 10 months. When I saw that pretty much every condition I had didn't had a cure, I got rid of all those "I'll do_________ when I get better and normal again" and replace them with "This is what we've got, what are we gonna do with this kinda broken, kinda dark, but hopeful life ahead of me?" I started writing in a personal blog, called Beyond the Diagnosis: Fighting the Stigma, and then for The Mighty and became a suicide prevention advocate for TWLOHA. So, pretty busy, life changing last year. I'm very honest about my pain, but very decided to keep making the best out of it and never letting my conditions define who I am and who I'll be. I adore my family (specially my 3 year old godson), sunflowers, the ocean, any kind of candy and sleeping. When I'm not writing, I'm normally napping. Hope to help you, and learn from all of your stories. I'm here for you, and I'm proud of being part of this!
