MIAMI.- The current sovereign of universal beauty, Sheynnis Palaciosshared during an event at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, some of the processes that he has had to go through in the fight for the well-being of his mental health.
The Nicaraguan model, who won the crown of miss Universe On November 18, 2023, he opened up to those in attendance and confessed that a few years ago he attempted to take his own life.
“In 2018 and 2021 I had attempts to suicide And the main reason I adopt animals is because they saved my life,” said the 24-year-old miss.
Palacios said that she was going through a difficult period in 2018 and that at that time thoughts about suicide were strong. “In 2018, a suicide attempt, a thought crossed my mind and I took a sharp weapon.”
“Mental health is a right that we all have. It is a universal right, as the World Health Organization (WHO) says. Don’t just believe me, believe the experts and you have and can exercise it. Let us take care of our minds responsibly, because if we are healthy internally, our society will also prosper.
Exile
The young woman took advantage of the moment to deny that she is exiled from her native country by the Daniel Ortega regime.
This information circulated in recent weeks, after the director of the Miss Universe organization, Anne Jakrajutatip, said in a public letter that Palacios and her family were in a status of indefinite exile due to orders from the State of Nicaragua.
“I want to inform that I am not in exile, I want to inform all the media here that I am not in exile. The doors of my country are open to go and celebrate with all Nicaraguans.
The miss said that what she wants most is to be able to return to her country soon to share her triumph.
“Celebrate, celebrate that this is the first crown (of Miss Universe) for my country. Obviously, celebrate with all Nicaraguans.”
