I can speak with health care workers about my psychiatric illness/disorders much easier after many difficult years. I overcome because I had to learn being open and completely honest about my mental state and emotions. It wasn’t easy, but I did it I can speak open about my voice-hearing and delusions.

What I haven’t overcome is the quite difficult experiences in my childhood and youth years. I have moderate case of Asperger syndrome and experiences of moderate bullying as well. Some other abusive events in my past. I had a condition known as nocturnal enuresis or more often called bedwetting, I really wet myself every night. I had accidents during daytime also of several types I’m sorry if this is TMI. When I turn 13 years I began wearing heavy protective underwear due to my nine days long, heavy womanhood curse and this without does make it extremely difficulties with sleep. So I wore them at night, at school during womanhood curse. I don’t know how to speak about this with other offline people, I just turn red and stuttering words.

I’m Norwegian and when I write in my native Norwegian language it’s very difficult writing even online, it’s too close to my wounds of youth and roots of shame. My name is Torunn and I wish you all well ❤

What fears have you overcome and how?

tbh this still bothers me in everyday life but I’m seeing improvement from how it used to affect me. I am not useless and in fact no person anywhere is useless, at least not in inner truths. I’m good enough and worthy of living.

How I overcome it is some insight partly from researching quite in-depth astrology related to my chart. I also learned from people I’ve met in life that made me see the Light within every person and meaningful insight in several parts of life.

And last, but not least I’ve gotten medical treatments for my severe mental illness and bring awareness of my autism spectrum condition that I got diagnosed with at age 17.

and my blogs are very helpful in seeing good in others, and partly to see my inner core being in the same light.

thank you all for reading my blog ❤

What fears have you overcome and how?

I have a couple neurological conditions that can contribute strong to accidents. I have temporal lobe epilepsy and Chiari malformation type 1, a condition with many possible symptoms/signs. I had long-term nocturnal enuresis even as a teenage girl. In addition I’m diagnosed with autism spectrum and severe mental illness.

When I was a child I felt such deep shame I avoided school to escape the bullying and adversity in form of teachers who hated me. I could not focus on my work due to psychosis, anxiety and my undiagnosed Asperger making me very sensitive to the sensory aspects; especially the noise in the hallway outside classroom and the fire alarm was just helvettas/fucking painful to hear for me.

and I had often accident at school, before we got prescribed aid from pharmacy place I knew it would be hell inside my head. Classmates making cruel fun of my issues. But really when I finally got this help I could actually sleep well at night and also through the nine days of the womanhood curse, I truly needed it and the shame was much less intense inside. I must mention I’m epileptic and have Chiari type 1, and the protection helps to sleep well at night.

so in my case I mostly overcome my fears with different treatments of difficult times in youth and childhood years. Don’t be afraid of seeking help no matter the shame related to the conditions, it’s often a great relief.

thank you all for listening ❤
