Lino y Salvi

When I was a kid I had lots of different ideas of what I wanted to be when growing up. I wanted to be an astronomer and law was also an option. I mostly liked careers related to science. But I always was a bit confused about it and I wasn't 100% sure of who I wanted to be. After graduating high school, I decided to study civil engineering. After a year, I realized I didn't like what I was doing because it wasn't really related to who I am and it wasn't compatible with my life goals, so I decided to drop and start studying something different. My two options were law and psychology, but I finally decided to stick with the second option.  I decided to study psychology because I feel it's closer to my personal process of healing and I could use it as a better tool to help others (even though right now, i'm not so sure about it). My experience until now has been difficult. It's been difficult to deal with mental illness, and university can be sometimes too much.

 Hi! I'm Francisca and today I'll talk a little about me. I'm 26 years old, and I was born in Talca on March 16th, 1994. I live in San Bernardo with my husband and my two sons, León y Salvador. We also have a kitten called Lisa. Also, I live with PTSD and OCD, both are mental illnesses.  Regarding my education, I have studied in seven different schools, and I can't remember the name of all of them. Currently, I'm studying psychology at Universidad de Chile.  At this time of quarantine, I've been buying and growing different varietys of plants, like begonias, ferns, cactus, ficus, calatheas, etc. This hobbie has helped me to go through the anxiety and of this times.
