They open La Llorería, a space made to let off steam in Spain
With the sole purpose of making mental health no longer a taboo subject, a space was opened where anyone can approach and talk about the things that are not going well in their lives.
In the famous sector of Malasaña, in Madrid, Spain, a place was adapted so that people feel comfortable and let their feelings out naturally. There, after standing in line, you can enter the site that, far from being gloomy, is adorned with neon lights and messages that remind visitors that their self-esteem is not measured by likes or that it is okay to have anxiety and fear.
According to Martyna Dluzniewska, organizer of the Llorería, this place was created thanks to “We want to de-stigmatize, that you can talk about feelings, that if you’re wrong, you can be; if you need to stop, stop; if you need to prioritize yourself, do it.”
And it is that mental health is a complex issue because a study revealed in The Lancet, During the times of the Covid-19 pandemic alone, cases of anxiety and depression increased by nearly 25%. For this reason, it is already common for there to be safe spaces where people can unload all their emotions.
