YES!

What a day!
And what an end to it...moving into a new place next week 
Away from cold floors, damp rooms and mold
All we have to do now is to pack our lives into boxes

Good things come to those who dare to do something

Thoughts between depression and mania

Long time has passed since my last blogpost, yes we have even entered into a new year.
And since last time things have happened...for both good and bad.

Christmas was a true trial, and with being two places it was extra stressful to be sick. Not just a little cold with a runny nose. No, this time it was something really bad and painful, and in between gifts, family and travelling it felt like I was going to cough up my own lungs. My head was filled to the brim with something like cotton, and on top of it all: a proper fever.
But I survived. But I fear that something still isn't right after getting some sort of chestpain just a few weeks ago, and you might understand that one starts to worry especially since it was on the left side of my chest. Went to the doctor, but of course they couldn't find anything...and trust me: I was not imagining the pains.

Christmas also contained two similar surprises: Both my sisters got engaged

And in my opinion: they made their decision too quick (but of course they don't listen to me)
So now it's only me and my brother that are the "normal"...;)

With a new year on the steps, (well...far into the livingroom already) a new semester of languagestudies and new challenges concerning verbs and nouns...this time in oldnorse. So literally drowning in textbooks about languagehistory, strange Norwegian dialect and how Icelandic works.

But studying is more than books and lectures. It's so stressful! And this year sadly started out with a nosedive into the darker corners of my mind and plenty of nightly activities I cannot explain nor understand.
Like sitting up in bed and start to talk about soup that is supposed to be in my hands (?!), and being "awake" while doing it...can freak out anyone by doing this, and it's my boyfriend that really gets to feel these...





So as you understand my healthcondition hasn't been the best lately...and it doesn't help to live in a place with extremely cold floors, bad ventilation, bad heatisolation...and...MOLD
And this is the reason why we're looking for a new place to live, but the rentalmarked is like a war. We've delivered a letter to a recent landlord that we are moving, but here in Norway you have 3 months to get out in...and we need to find something now. So I hope we can get to some kind of arrangement with the landlord.


Mold.....
Last thing, on top of everything: I might not have ADHD after all...but something else. So the Ritalin I've been taking have done more damage than good to me. My sister thinks I have a personal disorder of some kind...wonder what the doctor says...a little bit mad maybe?
So it has been many dark days lately with no energy and lots of crying...but hopefully it will make me stronger

What do you think?
