as I’ve written about before I don’t have regular paid work and never have. So I’m writing about my full time job of being mentally ill and my deep passion for life.
I’ve been chronically psychotic since 2005 at age 12 years old and I went many years untreated and undiagnosed. This has shaped my character in various ways, I know what it’s like feeling the inner emotional chaos of this condition.
i got on medication in December 2013 and I’m still on medication for my conditions. There is a thing in Norwegian society/working environment that closes doors for many who may strongly want a regular job but the cultures are twisted by a idealised image of social skills and interactions. I’ve written about a young man who was fully able to work through education and other qualities, but since he had AS/Asperger they didn’t employ him.
I do plenty of things outside of traditional work/Jobs. Some of them include our local Kven group and weekly trip with a psychiatry related group spend time in local natural environments and speak with each other about different topics Finnmark natives like to discuss around a campfire. I’m also a member of our close and extended family cultures, I’m so thankful for my great family ❤
so I have a full time job in many ways, despite the lack of directly related pay.
have a wonderful time living ❤
