As we all know today there are thousands of immigrants scattered around the world, this post is dedicated specifically to Venezuelans, as I am one of them. Whether due to the lack of money, food, repression, violence, for different factors entire families had to leave their country or simply one person who was filled with courage and decided to sacrifice himself for his own.
Among the main countries that have received us we have Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Argentina, obviously this has also been a collapse for these countries as they have had to endure the arrival of hundreds of families in search of a better future, a crisis both social, economic and health.
In addition to everything that could be happening in all the other countries, it is important to highlight one thing, what about the psychological consequences that all this migration is leaving on the Venezuelans?
First of all, the mere fact of leaving their country, leaving their families, facing an endless number of obstacles when undertaking this journey, with which I feel identified since I am one more of all those brothers who have left their country with one foot forward and the other behind.
Arriving new to a country that you do not know, to know another culture, other environments, other customs, but I wish it were only that, besides everything to face the xenophobia that reigns in many countries against us. Something that we have had to assume as our daily bread and without the right to complain because you will always be the bad guy in the movie.
Some of the factors that trigger alteration in the mental health of migrants are
1. Sleep disturbances: first of all many leave the country venturing to see what happens, often without any money or for a ticket, many have had to walk, so they know they will not have a roof over their heads to sleep, or food, among other things, they sleep in the streets, cold and afraid of what may happen to them, and if they have children with more reason.
2. The bad food: we know that in these countries fortunately getting food is much easier, but in the case of many immigrants who do not have the good luck to get a good job and often work selling candy on the street and simply does not give them to make a good market and less if they have family to support. Of course this weakens anyone both physically and emotionally.
3. Exploitation: In many of the jobs we get, people tend to abuse and take advantage of the need that one has. They tend to pay less, put in the heaviest work, or simply pay when they feel like it.
4. Loneliness - missing your own:
It is no secret that it hurts all of us to be away from our family, friends, our customs, our food, our music, in short our country.
I think many people are so affected that they decide to throw in the towel and go back, because they just can't get used to it, among other things. There are those who are alone and if it is not easy to be in a couple much less to be alone, one must be very brave.
I consider that all this and much more, makes many more susceptible to suffer some depressive or anxiety disorder, is that the psychological cost we face is very high, involves many things like family separation, loss of a job, a status in case you are professional, frustrated goals, unachieved objectives, in short ...
? It's a sense of frustration you'd only understand if you were in our shoes! ?
? I hope the publication was to your liking!

Now, unfortunately, half of the humanity is closed up in their homes. All those who have homes and have the necessary reserves, like food, are very lucky. I'm afraid the mental health of the humanity is also in danger.
I know it’s no consolation if others also have bad lives.
Here in Europe many Venezuelans found jobs in hotel industry or restaurants, tourism. The waste majority lost their jobs immediately after the spreading of the virus.

If those who have a roof and food are very lucky, unfortunately it is not the majority. Hopefully this will get better!
