When I walked back into the room where they’d all just left moments before, to find them all sitting there again without me … nobody said they were sorry. Nobody acknowledged the pain that was written on my face. Nobody came after me as I left. Nobody felt the slightest bit of guilt for lying and deceiving someone who was just trying to connect.

The hurt was indescribable, and I didn’t know what to say. Or do, once I’d returned to my room. I wanted to scream and yell, or curl up in a ball and sta...

Som I ved, så har jeg skizofreni. Jeg tænkte, jeg ville bruge et indlæg på at forklare, hvad det medfører af udfordringer i dagligdagen.

Som I også ved, har jeg kæmpet mig “ud af” sygdommens kløer igennem min recovery. Der findes ikke en kur mod skizofreni; man kan kun holde symptomerne i skak med medicin og psykiatrisk støtte. Og det er vigtigt, for hvis man ikke tager sin medicin, risikerer man tilbagefald – og at det bliver endnu sværere at komme på benene igen. Men ved hjælp af medicin, psyki...

Vil du være min kæreste? Jah så gerne!
Amors pil ramte mit hjerte og hjerne
Lykkelig med dig og alt det, vi gør
Er der noget med, at man kan blive skør?
Når jeg ser på dig, så bliver jeg bare glad
Tror på, at vi lykkes uanset hvad
I medgang og modgang holder vi fast
Nye tider forude, med vores solide ballast
Elsker jeg at tilbringe tid med dig
Ser frem til altid at følge din vej
Du er min skat, my precious favorit
At hygge med dig føles betryggende let
Yay for os to, Salah og G to the B!

How beautiful is life?

The answer to that question depends on a lot of things, not just your outlook.

Good things happen to bad people, and bad things happen to good people. Life is gut-wrenchingly unfair, arbitrary and random. Tomorrow is impossible to predict.

I don’t believe in a lot of things, but what I do believe in is effort. Kindness. Impact. Optimism. Fairness. Good. Curiosity. Honesty. But yes, mostly effort. The drive to be a good person, improve your world and leave no litte...

Why I’m a Swiftie, you ask?

Let me take you through the Eras.

TAYLOR SWIFT: My favourite song from the album is A Place in This World. Upon the release of Taylor’s debut album, in 2006, I was 12. I was being bullied relentlessly at school, which was causing me to pull out my own eyelashes and eyebrows due to the stress. Suddenly, Taylor Swift entered my life like a whirlwind, putting into words exactly how I was feeling, and expressing other feelings I didn’t even know I had yet. I absolut...

This post is somewhat delayed – I wrote it in March and didn’t publish immediately. But I’ve decided to post it now!

13th March 2023

I’m watching Taylor Swift’s “Reputation Stadium Tour” movie on Netflix as I type.

(Yeah, I’m slow at getting around to things – it adds a certain je ne sais quoi to life, I think.)

…

Anyway, I was just reminded of every single reason I call myself a Swiftie.

Right from the very first minute of the movie.

I l...

In my new English book “Voices Off”, I dedicate a chapter to talking about my struggles with tidying up and throwing things out. I wrote the book while I was still living with my parents.

Today, I live independently in my own flat. I have done so since September ’21. This was by no means something that just happened naturally. I was very fortunate to be in a good place in my recovery, so I could handle the process of moving. We took it very slowly so I wasn’t under undue stress. And, despite ...

Hvad fylder hos dig for tiden?

Jeg har tænkt på mange ting.

Hvor langt, jeg er kommet …

… alt det, jeg stadig kæmper med.

Det er som om, at sociale evner og kommaregler fylder mindre, end de har gjort. Og at jeg er ved at finde vej ud af en labyrint, hvor jeg har været fanget i årevis.

Noget af det, der har været allersværest for mig (ud over stemmerne og mine andre symptomer), har været at affinde mig med, at jeg ikke kan de samme ting, som mine jævnaldrende kan.

Jeg kan ikke ...
