Communicator Sharmín Díaz showed her most vulnerable side during a recent episode on the program "Azul Podcast", where she spoke openly about her son Sebastián's autism diagnosis and the emotional impact it has had on her life as a mother.
In a testimony filled with honesty, Sharmín confessed that she has gone through moments of deep despair when facing her son's crises. She revealed that, at times, she has felt so overwhelmed that she has had intrusive thoughts as a result of exhaustion and the helplessness of not being able to "solve everything" as she would like.

The communicator also questioned the pressure that many mothers feel of not being able to get sick or stop, especially when they alone assume a large part of the responsibility for care. "That strong woman that people see is also a sensitive woman, who breaks down," she affirmed, making it clear that her experience is no different from that of any mother who faces similar challenges. Your testimony has generated empathy and conversation on social media, highlighting the importance of speaking without romanticizing motherhood and of making visible the mental health of those who raise children within the autistic spectrum. Sharmín insisted that sharing her story is a way of accompanying other mothers who, like her, have come to feel at their limit."Sometimes I've been sitting on the balcony of my house and what I want is to throw myself," she expressed during the conversation, explaining that the pain comes from seeing her son in situations that she wants to solve immediately, but that are beyond her control. Her words reflect the internal struggle between the strength she projects publicly and the fragility she experiences privately.
