Aspergian drama queen

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?

Note: I like writing too, it’s clear from this text

I love acting. I really do, it’s my way of expression often. I’m very strong Leo influence in 12th with a Virgo twist to it. And the blend of passion and imagination makes it perfect to practice social skills. When I was a teenager we had this group at school for people struggle socially, but many were more of the bullying kind than my struggle with undiagnosed Asperger syndrome and deep level mental health issues like psychosis and bipolar mood disorder. I still love acting, but I’m more lonely these days as an adult without work or school activities.

I’ve also had some leading role in education about my conditions on Skype, it was a good experience overall even though I hate hearing myself talk or see myself on screens. I couldn’t read my own writing at first because I was anxious about the task at hand. But later on it became easier so I kept going with my message and my psychiatry doctor was happy with my honest expression and insight.

So that’s my experiences in words today it’s fivd in morning here right now and it’s really cold outside. I also add this music video if you want to watch and listen

Psychiatry on Skype

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?

In late 2016 my psych asked me if I wanted to help her have a Skype conversations with psychiatry students and other health-care workers about my psychotic condition, Asperger syndrome, bipolarity; experiences in life and my perspective on this topic. I said yes because I thought it could be very interesting and meaningful to everyone involved, including myself. So I wrote a long list in my notebook to bring with me on the conversations, thinking deep about the themes and what I wanted to say.

When I was there my vision was really blurry but I could speak just fine, not especially nervous about the topics. My psych told me she heard some things about my history and conditions that she wasn’t aware of, I think it was important that I prepared well for the talk. I wanted to get my message clear and to maybe open some eyes to how schizo-bipolar-obsessive-Asperger etc (that’s a long phrase) experiences feel from inside perspective.

I was one of the war prisoners in this play, it was about our towns history in the second World War. I really tried to go deep into this character perspective, and I believe it was maybe noticed by the other actors/actresses. It was not a major role, but I really remember it quite vividly. If you know some of the history of WWII in Northern Norway, it will be quite clear why this was important to our town and why we had this play in the teather.

I have several times been one of the main characters in dramatic acting performing with others. I surprised some people with the passion because I’m a quiet and sensitive person in other areas, but creatively I’m kind of confident and bold in my way of being. I act with my inner core being living the characters life inside and outside, I take acting very seriously and I have lightminded fun at the same time.

And in 8th grade I performed my own track to my classmates as part of a school project along with my best friend, I wrote the lyrics by myself inspired by aspects of my everyday life. I say don’t worry and share your passion for life in your own creative ways ❤
