"Since my daughter was born, I have needed to write as therapy. Put everything down on paper so I can understand myself better." With these words Cristina Pedroche presented her latest project, Thanks to Fear; a book in which the presenter not only recognizes that she is going through a hard time in her life, but that she is afraid.
Some feelings that he confessed through his social networks months ago, but that since he published his book have caused a shower of criticism towards him; Because many users do not understand how the presenter can "dare" to "complain" about her situation, given her "privileged" situation.
As Pedroche confesses, in this story she opens her heart and does so even knowing that she is not fully recovered "and that I do not have all the shields and all the protection that I would like" to defend herself from the criticism she must face. in every post you share.
"Although now I see practically everything blurry, I know that I will shine again," he wrote in the last one, in which he shared an image of himself in a bathing suit, somewhat out of focus, in line with his message about his fears of "not being able to handle everything" to this new stage that she is experiencing as a mother.
The comments, each one more hurtful; but above all from users who insist on the privileged position and resources of Vallecas, which would not give it "reasons" to be going through this difficult time.
"Didn't you say that you were exhausted and overwhelmed by motherhood? If it had really been like that, you wouldn't have even had time to brush your teeth, like what happened to me. Let's see if the reality has been different from what you've all been telling these months," another reproaches him.
"Lately whenever you feel bad, sad, down," comments a user of the social network. "Most of us don't understand this drama. You don't have the problems that the rest of us have. We are also mothers and with many more problems than you," says another, who warns her that "we have to get down from the clouds" and reminds her that " "You have many more coping resources than the rest and the world."
Precisely, the purchasing power of the presenter seems to be the common point in most of the criticisms, with users forgetting for a moment that mental health disorders do not involve social class or fortune.
Luckily for the presenter, she also has many other supports. Friends like Boticaria García or Laura Escanes do not hesitate to encourage her and send her best wishes publicly on the social network.
"I feel like I have a story to tell and I think there will be people who will want to read it and it will help them," the presenter wrote a few days ago after the presentation of the book. A moment in which she also took the opportunity to thank those who continue to stand by her side, without letting go of her hand. "Thank you for all the love I'm receiving, I feel totally overwhelmed. Thank you."
