Thoughtful Thursday Prompt #8 // How I handled my pain [ENG/ESP]

Hello everyone. I want to tell you that this is my first post in this beautiful community and I am glad to be able to talk about something reflective here.
I would like to tell you about a very sensitive situation for me (one of many) that made me change the way I behave for my mental and also physical well-being.

SPANISH VERSION

Hola a todos. Quiero contarles que esta es mi primera publicación en esta bella comunidad y me alegra poder hablar de algo reflexivo aquí.
Me gustaría contarles de una situación muy sensible para mi (una de tantas) que me hizo cambiar la manera de comportarme para mi bienestar mental y también físico.

In my adolescence, I had some friendships that I thought were really good friendships, but I realized that it was not so. Every day everything seemed nice and rosy, but in reality it was all false and little by little I was hurting myself.
I never had a good physique, due to health problems, it was very difficult to maintain a proper weight, so I was gaining and losing all the time, I had no balance and as a result of this, there was no shortage of teasing, jokes of all kinds and loud laughter that only caused me to end up crying in the bathroom. They told me to take it as a joke because they didn't mean it seriously. For them it was a game, but not for me.

SPANISH VERSION

En mi adolescencia, tenía algunas amistades de las cuales yo pensaba que eran realmente buenas amistades, pero me di cuenta que no era así. Cada día parecía todo lindo y de color de rosas, pero en realidad era todo falso y poco a poco me iba lastimando.
Nunca tuve un buen físico, por problemas de salud, costaba mucho poder mantener un peso adecuado, por lo tanto subía y bajaba todo el tiempo, no tenía un equilibrio y a raíz de esto, las burlas no faltaron, bromas de todo tipo y risas fuertes que solo causaban que yo terminara llorando en el baño. Ellos decían que me lo tomara de broma porque no me lo decían en serio. Para ellos era un juego, pero para mí no.

Little by little I began to hate every part of my physique. I thought that I had no solution, that I was already lost to be able to do anything and everyone said that I would never have other friends, a partner, a family and so on, because of the way I looked.
I started to change my behavior on a daily basis, I answered badly, I hardly slept because the routine hurt me and little by little that was bringing bad consequences. Many more health problems came because of my bad management of meals and rest.
I started to treat my so-called “friends” badly as well and they treated me as if I was a crazy person and that it was better to leave me alone, to which everyone turned their backs on me. No one from the outside who was aware of this situation was there to help and advise me, only one person, my mother. She suffered seeing me like this and showed me a way of seeing that I did not see because clearly everything that had happened to me blinded me.

SPANISH VERSION

Poco a poco empecé a odiar cada parte de mi físico. Pensaba que no tenía solución alguna, que ya estaba perdida para poder hacer algo y todos decían que nunca tendría otros amigos, una pareja, una familia y así sucesivamente, por cómo me veía.
Empecé a cambiar mi comportamiento diariamente, contestaba mal, casi no dormía porque me dolía la rutina y de apoco eso fue trayendo malas consecuencias. Vinieron muchos más problemas de salud a causa de mi mal manejo en las comidas y en el descanso.
A los que yo llamaba “amigos” les empecé a tratar mal también y me trataron como si yo fuese una persona loca y que era mejor dejarme sola, a lo que todos me dieron la espalda. Nadie de afuera que estaba al tanto de esta situación, estaba ahí para ayudarme y aconsejarme, solo una persona, mi mamá. Ella sufría al verme así y me mostró una manera de ver que yo no veía porque claramente todo lo que me había pasado me cegó.

I had allowed those people to enter my head and fill me with pain. Sometimes you don't realize it, because many situations in life can make you vulnerable at some point and it becomes easier for the wrong information to enter your head. When I realized this, it was my responsibility to release that pain without feeling bad about it.
I convinced myself that I had to find a way to free myself and fix my situation, but before that, I had to learn to really love myself. I had to love every part of me and learn to take care of it, but first I forgave myself for accepting all that pain that didn't belong to me, then I started small strategies to help me with my physical and mental health. I planned my sleep and eating better and the people who laughed at me and just made fun of me. I smiled at them.

SPANISH VERSION

Yo había permitido que esas personas entraran en mi cabeza y me llenaran de dolor. Uno a veces no se da cuenta, ya que, muchas situaciones de la vida pueden volverte en algún momento vulnerable y así se vuelve más fácil que en la cabeza entre información que no sea la adecuada. Al darme cuenta de esto, era responsabilidad mía liberar ese dolor sin sentirme mal al respecto.
Me convencí a mi misma de que tenía que buscar una manera de liberarme y solucionar mi situación, pero antes de eso, tenía que aprender a amarme realmente. Tenía que amar cada parte de mi y aprender a cuidarla, pero primero me perdoné por aceptar todo ese dolor que no me pertenecía, luego, comencé pequeñas estrategias para ayudarme con mi salud física y mental. Planifique mejor mis horas de sueño y mi alimentación y a las personas que se reían de mi y solo se burlaban. Les sonreí.

It took me a long time to find stability with myself and sometimes, there were relapses, but even though it was difficult, I got up stronger.
Someone would always show up to make fun or laugh, but I didn't let them hurt me anymore, I just ignored the comments and went on with my life. Until a moment came when they no longer spoke to me and I felt at peace.
All of us at some point have gone through something similar to this situation and obviously each one of us handled it in our own way, as we really could. This way of behaving so as not to allow that pain again, helped me a lot over time. Today I do not pay attention to what people tell me and I try to take care of myself in many aspects, although it is still difficult to manage a balance in my weight, it does not hurt anymore.

SPANISH VERSION

Me llevó bastante tiempo encontrar estabilidad conmigo misma y a veces, había recaídas, pero aunque era difícil, me levantaba más firme.
Siempre aparecía una persona a querer burlarse o reírse, pero ya no le permitía herirme, solo ignoraba los comentarios y seguía con mi vida. Hasta que llegó un momento que ya no me hablaban y ahí sentí paz.
Todos en algún momento hemos pasado algo similar a esta situación y obviamente cada uno lo llevó a su manera, a como realmente pudo hacerlo. Esta manera de comportarme para no volver a permitir ese dolor, me ayudó mucho con el tiempo. Al día de hoy no me fijo en lo que me dicen y trato de cuidarme en muchos aspectos por mi misma, aunque todavía cuesta manejar un equilibrio en mi peso, ya no duele.

We must keep in mind that there will always be people who, regardless of their age or rather their maturity, will say something to hurt. We are the ones who must learn how not to allow it.

SPANISH VERSION

Hay que tener en cuenta que siempre habrá personas que sin importar su edad o mejor dicho su madurez, dirán algo para herir. Somos nosotros los que debemos aprender a como no permitirlo.
