 Introduction

This essay is related to a bit of what I experienced when my daughter was born, because it
has been the most difficult moment of my life, where I had depression and at the same
time I got out of there because I quickly located myself in the place and moment because
there was already a person who would depend on me.

How do you stay healthy and happy during hard times? Why is it important to do this?

The most difficult moment in my life for me to this day was when my daughter's father
abandoned us because he left us with no furniture in my house, we had nowhere to sleep
and my daughter was only 2 months old; The first few days were difficult because I only
thought about the reason for the situation, but as the days went by I only thought that I
couldn't stay waiting for a miracle so that it would no longer hurt me to feel like a joke
because at that time I only had 20 years old and the only thing I thought about was
because I felt too young, such a child to go through something like that and with a baby
that was practically newborn and I thought about it that way because I come from a family
where the mother and father have always been there, never for my step that my daughter
was not going to have her father with her as I have been with my father all my life.

I began to see life with my daughter in a different way, the distraction of not being locked
up at home, as well as having friends and, above all, my family supporting me and seeing
that I was not the first person to whom what could have happened to her It happened to
me, that there are people who go through worse situations than me.

Today after 6 years I can say that in my difficult moments I no longer think so much about
why it happens to me, now I analyze it and think about how to face my difficult times to
get ahead with or without the help of my family or friends because in the end of the day I
have the last word, I am the one who makes my own decisions and I also take
responsibility for them.

It is important to take your difficult problems calmly and think about our problems
carefully, because it is useless to cry or make hasty decisions which at any moment in life
we will regret.

I have verified that for everything in life there is a solution except for death, but for the
rest, even if it costs us a little to get out of the problem, it can always be solved. We just
have to have faith, patience because there have been many cases of people who do not
know how to deal with their problems are not capable of finding a solution and the first
thing they do is take their own life, when perhaps their problems had a solution.

My partner's best friend took his own life, no one or his relatives still understand why he
did it, he left his 1-year-old baby and his wife, the only thing they know is that one day
before taking his own life he had asked many people for money friends, perhaps he did
not get the amount he owed as no one could lend him the money and his only solution
was death.

What recommendations would you give to keep our mental and physical health even in
difficult times? Explain why

I always recommend to my friends or family to have peace of mind is to live life without
worrying about what they will say, as well as knowing how to choose the people we can
count on because we always meet a new person but unfortunately most of people give
them trust very quickly and when we least expect these are the people who harm us who
cause us problems that we can not have peace of mind and always be surrounded by
problems, logically the problems lead us to be bitter to not see ourselves physically well
and not lead a happy, joyful, fun life, etc...

Maybe my way of seeing life in this way was the drastic change that I had to live at such a
young age, I cannot hide that every time I remember the situation I lived it makes me very
nostalgic and at the same time gives me joy.

It makes me very nostalgic because when I saw my clothes and my daughter's on the floor
and the empty house with nowhere to sit or drink water I felt incomplete, I felt the worst
in the world, I remember looking at my daughter so little, baby and I just thought why this
happened because to you, because to me; That night I had to go live where my parents,
thank God, didn't live so far away. I had to sleep in a bed with my sister and my daughter,
but I couldn't sleep with them in the same bed because we didn't fit, they had me. to sit
on the floor because my sleeping sister hit my daughter a lot and for the comfort of my
baby she slept that way it was only for a short time because then I bought a bed and my
parents accommodated me in the dining room we closed it with curtains to inhabit it as

one more room in the house so that my daughter and I were comfortable we slept
together.

After all that, I began to heal with the passing of time, my mentality changed, matured, I
began to fight and live for my daughter and everything I have achieved to this day is
because of her and because I know that at some point in life life if something the same or
similar to what I have experienced happens to her or if she has a problem, I can tell my
daughter that she does not have to bow her head that she has to be firm to face her
defeats and keep going and always supporting her that is why it gives me joy because now
after years I see my daughter and we see each other happy, we are happy and I know that
since then I have not let myself fall I always get up and achieve my goals, I fight so as not
to defeat myself and I'm glad of the person I became after what happened.

I know that before I was ashamed that people were aware of what I went through, but
now I am not telling it now to make people understand that we should not drown in a
glass of water or get depressed because of what happens to us in life with courage we
must face our defeats to move forward and feel strong

Which of the aspects of personal health (physical, emotional, spiritual, social, financial,
and intellectual) do you often neglect? Explain why.

For me, the aspect that I have neglected the most is my physical health, since I have many
extra pounds, because of junk food I know that it is a bad habit and that I should start
correcting it.

Regarding finances, I can only say that in order to have something in life we have to get
into financial debt, take risks and that is what I did, I bought my house and 2 cars, one
personal and one business.

I think my emotional, spiritual, social state is fine, I have a family that has always been
there in my best moments as well as in my worst, always supporting me so I don't feel sad,
they always encouraged me to continue my life to go out and party with friends who are

always present so that I would realize that being in that enclosed bubble and not opening
what would cause me would be being in psychologists and not moving forward and
leaving the past behind and continuing with a new page in my life that from that moment
on first page of my life would be with my daughter. We have built a new story and now,
thanks to that time, healing my heart and forgiving other people's mistakes, I can confirm
that I have found a person who won my heart but who also won my daughter's heart, we
have built a beautiful family where my daughter and I feel protected
