The author of this piece reflects on their experiences navigating their mental health, particularly anxiety and ADHD, as a Hispanic individual. They describe how they struggled with feelings of burnout and pressure to succeed, while also dealing with a lack of cultural competence from the adults in their life. The author notes that anxiety and ADHD often coexist and shares how they were finally diagnosed with ADHD after years of treating their anxiety. This diagnosis helped them understand the root of their struggles and empowered them to prioritize their emotional well-being.

After receiving their ADHD diagnosis, the author learned about various aspects of the condition, such as time blindness and rejection sensitive dysphoria, which helped them make sense of their past behaviors. They discuss how having a diagnosis allowed them to take control of their treatment and medication, ultimately leading to a better understanding of themselves and their needs. The author emphasizes that managing their mental health is an ongoing journey and acknowledges that their career in journalism can be stressful, but they have found ways to balance work with hobbies and activities that bring them joy.

The author highlights the disparity in mental health treatment among Hispanic/Latinx individuals, with only 35% receiving treatment compared to the national average of 46%. They encourage anyone struggling with similar feelings to reach out for support, whether through talking to someone, writing a letter, or taking a moment to go outside. The author stresses the healing power of community and the importance of relying on loved ones during difficult times. They urge readers to remember the people who have been constant sources of support and to reciprocate that support when needed.
