Testimonials of participants

Co-Researchers

Assumpta's testimony: "When I now read the situations I have written, I am surprised to remember all the emotions that I was moved by the fact of explaining them and the liberating effect that this had on me. Perhaps in summarizing them so much for fitting them in a telegram makes it difficult to convey the emotion that hides behind each story. When the day to day is so complicated and difficult to explain it is as if you live in a parallel world where suffering and sensitivity are overdimensioned. The relationship with the “normal world” is full of misunderstanding, and when you find understanding and acceptance, a lot of light comes in. I would like the collaboration of all the participants in the chat, the more diverse the better, to shed light on the people we live with mental health problems."

Ana's testimony: "I am a truly lucky person to participate in this project, I have been greatly empowered as we traveled the journey together, I have grown as a person, I have learned, I also had a bad time sometimes, but you know at all times I have been excited because I was fighting to change lives, to improve the lives of all of us, the mentally ill, family members, doctors, caregivers and most of all people, without leaving anyone behind. Because we all have to get involved more and more with mental health, hand in hand, specifically with the social support networks that exist, making them known and creating many more. That is my dream."

María's testimony: "From these small daily moments to the great moments of life ... All of us who have participated in the generation of chatbot stories have shared thousands of vital moments and have come out very strengthened and empowered. Now you can be part of a great social support network by joining this great common citizen science effort."
