I used to live in Northern parts of Nordland fylke/county and I remember feeling like a foreign influence in terms of my appearance, ethnicity and culture. When I moved back to Finnmark fylke/county in 2009 I believed my life would get much better, but it turns out being different is universal no matter your location; my undiagnosed autism was large part of the experience and my untreated severe schizoaffective condition as well.

What I really love about Nordland is the Nature and outdoors activities, our dialects and the memories of youth that were very happy ones. No matter how difficult life was it never broke my fighter spirits and passion for life, I had wonderful times there. Thank God for this life ❤

Every time I see a school, I’m strongly reminded of what happen to me and my father. The xenophobia and my best friends who saved my life through this hell, the teacher who hated anyone not ideal to their Norwegian supremacist point of view. It contributed strongly to my mental-health conditions and I still struggle.

But I’m so grateful to youth psychiatry for finally diagnosing my autism spectrum condition in 2010/2011 and we knew what it was. I’m currently in a somewhat dark mood, and I understand this can be misunderstod by people.

I’m okay now, nothing can ever kill my inner strenght gained from these experiences or my basic passion for this life. I hope you find true peace and someone who sees your Light.

What makes you feel nostalgic?

View all responses

the biggest one for me is the music I was listening to in my late childhood and youth, it really is special to me. Another thing that makes me nostalgic is looking at old journals and notebooks, especially when my best friends wrote a message to me in them. I miss my youth a lot even though I was psychotic and depressive most of that time, I’m now 31 and quite lonely. And seeing my old toys is especially emotional, the mean kids tried to destroy them when I was “stupid” enough to bring them to school with me. I’m really feeling it now, but maybe that’s a good thing sometimes. Thank you for reading ❤
