That's me

As the title says, it's all about me.
My anxiety, the PTDS (yes, still with me) and of course all wonderful moments as well

Missing words

Again some days on the Danish island, again a fantastic Ayahuasca retreat.

Still missing words to describe, what happened, the help I recieved, the magical moments I had.
The dance, so much more than just dance and after the first night I had a huge blister under my foot and of course it didn't get better after the second night *laugh*
Dancing the night away, dancing the fear away, dancing the sorrows away and finding a peace I was missing for so long.

Ayahuasca, so much healing, so much love ♥

Oh how I wish, everyone would have this possibility.

First Hampaya, oh my, it was HOT, the Chili was burning and the following diet for 3 days was hard (more about it in the next days)

Second Sananga, the drops in the eyes, another burn, but for a very short time only, luckily

Third Rapé, another weird experience

and after all these Ayahuasca and even though I only took a sip, I went in fast and deep.
First the chants and the medicine was gentle, I thought I came out pretty fast, but went into the medicine a second time and oh my God, what followed next was a rollercoaster and I asked again for being treated more gentle.
Well, it was Ayas "gentle" way to guide me through my deepest fear, luckily Tjorven was with and beside me, reassuring that I'm not dying.

So much more to tell and so much more, I'll keep for myself.
From fear to total joy in the dance, it was amazing!

Gruglede

All is packed and tomorrow I will go for my trip to Denmark.

This time the Huni Kuin will hold the zeremonie and I'm so excited. And nervous, and scared, and looking forward to.
In one word, that only in Norway exist.

Jeg gruglede meg  (Jeg = I  -and - meg = me)

To translate it at best would be: to look forward to something with a mix of dread and excited anticipation.

Not a panic attack

Yesterday I felt horrible, my eyes were hurting, I felt dizzy and in my head a thought started to grow.
When I went to bed, I was sure, that I wouldn't wake up today.

The good thing, I had no panic attack, just the wish, to stay alive, but no panic.
Isn't it amazing, how much Ayahuasca has helped me :)

Before Ayahuasca, this would had pushed me over the border and I would had taken Valium. 
And I was able to fall asleep, normaly the thought of maybe dying kept me awake for hours.

Feeling better today, still extreme tinnitus, a bit head ache and my stomach aches as well.

Just right now I wish, I would be back to normal and stop freezing, another part of the not-feeling-well

Ayahuasca

The clock is ticking, only 9 days left to my second Ayahuasca retreat and I'm already so excited.

My life has changed big times since the first time in June this year.
Yesterday I was out in the garden, cleaning up between the blackberries and raspberries. From time to time I had to remind myself about my thoughts, that came up, unwanted.
But for the first time since my heart attack no stress, no panic and i was able to work for a long time :)

To live without PTSD (well, almost) is a gift, no one can imagine, who don't know these attacks. 
I'm so much more active again, so filled with life again and I'm so grateful for that.

Ayahuasca and some wonderful people being with me all the time gave me my life back.

And now I can go for a second retreat and I'm sure, it will help me again to become free from other trauma and other dead albatross around my neck.

Weird dream

I had some puppies, Dachshund puppies. Two were able to get in the half open door, before I could close it. A man, he was huge, extreme overweight, came by with his dog. He stopped and asked to see the puppies and without hesitation, he said, he will buy one, when the puppies are old enough. I held the two in my arms and answered on his questions, that these two are females.

He gave me money, one was an 1500 note, the other 150 and I showed it to someone (who?) and was a bit puzzled, cause it was Slovenian money.
The man also told me to sell the house now, there is no more time, and mentioned the bad neighborhood.

------------------------

A lot of signs in this dream, but not one really makes sense to me and my situation now.
This is so weird.

Don't give up

there will be a solution 

If I hear this stupid sentence one more time, I scream, I swear I scream as loud as possible.

1 dog, 6 cats (maybe only 5, Blanchette is still missing) and I need a place to go to after we have sold this house. If we ever sell this house!

I can't look for a house, as long as I don't know, how much we will get for this one.
I can't rent a house, since I don't know, where I will find a place and even if, renting cost money. Money --- what money?
Go ask for social help --- yeah of course, but then I have to stay in Norway.

And every time I get to hear: There will be a solution.

Can you hear me?
I'm SCREAMING

Doubts

I wish, I could have a look into the crystal ball ...

2 more weeks and many people have said, they will come to help. And I have the bad feeling, that most of them will only be here for one reason --- the party after the big work.
If this work will ever take place at all.

Ok, let's think, all will really work out, all will be done and fine and we can get an estimator to find out, how much money we can ask for.
And let's think, we are really that lucky to sell the farm.

H. will move to Larvik and T. can for sure live for a while either at L.'s place or with C. or make his dream come true, buy a boat and live there.

And what's with me?
Ok, I know know, that I would like to move to Denmark. And a lot of where, how, and from what, is kicking in.
Oh, don't you worry, everything will work out, you'll find a place --- honestly, I have enough, this isn't any comforting sentence for me.
I'm 64, my pension will be extremely little and the most scariest thought is popping up again --- for what, why should I keep going?

If I would have a goal, anything I could look forward to, but all I see is the big nothing.
Nothing and too many doubts.

And I remember the day, when Klaus called me and told me, that I don't need to worry anymore. That he put me into his last will.
It was Valentines day in 2020 when someone pulled the floor away under my feet and 2 days later, when I called the lawyer and all he said was: There is no last will. --- and hung up, before I could ask anything.

Well, I wouldn't call it: no need to worry

Changes

It's beautiful weather and I just can't sit inside.

Going through the garden and seeing the cherries getting ripe and many red currant are already fine to eat. The black ones still need many more hours with sun.

I have the feeling, summer just began, but the fruits are telling me otherwise. What will I see next year? Will I even be at another place? Will my dream finally come true and we can sell this year?
Just to imagine, to be in Denmark in the winter time, not masses of snow, not minus 30 C degree. Strong weather, yes, lots of storms for sure, but still not that cold like here.
In my mind I can see my house, see the rooms and my garden. I really don't have a clue, where exactly it will be, but it doesn't matter at all.

Just to know where to go is a huge step forward. No more thoughts, no more doubts and the best, not really learning a new language, just some words used in a different way, and, as someone told me, that I have to think about it as another dialect.
Funny way, but yes, the similarities between Norway and Danish will help a lot.

I feel so much calmer since the Aya-ceremonies, so much more relaxed, so many worries, that are gone. I find myself smiling, just like that and even to look into a mirror isn't a horror anymore :)

Weird questions

Yesterday, after I wrote, that I'm back home, I got 2 mails.
The first, that she will call later and the second mail, if she is allowed to call.

When she called, she asked a very weird question, if this is our good bye now.

I was puzzled, said No, why? and she responded, because of bad experiences in the past.
She must have been on an extreme guilt trip.

It made me wonder, really, cause 2 years ago I told her, that even though we had extreme hard times together, I'm thankful, because without treating me as the black sheep of the family, I wouldn't be whom I am today.

---------------------------------

Full sunshine yesterday and I got a lot done.
Mixed beginning today, turning into dark sky and a short but extreme strong storm. I was on to my way inot the house on the stairs and it really pushed me aside, so I had to hold onto the handrail --- WOW 
Still very windy, but I will see to get the rest of the wood out of the barn into the cellar.

Too much

Back home again and ways too much to write down at once.

So instead of writing a post, I will start a page about the most exciting, scary, wonderful, frightful, lovely experience I've ever had.
It won't be written in a day or two, it will take time, cause I have to process so much.
And even though I'm back home now for some hours, I'm still not here.

There is a part of me, a little piece of my heart, that decided to stay in Denmark.
And now I really can't wait to sell my farm, even though it shows its best face, like every summer.

I got my call and it is Denmark calling for me to move there.

Honestly, this excitement I was waiting for, it's here, it's strong and really amazing.

And everyone, who grew up like I did, will understand my love for that special kind of nature, so similar to the area of Husum, Garding and this tiny little place named Sieversfleth, now incorporated into Tetenbüll.

https://3dgalleria.it/render/_data/i/upload/2026/07/05/20260705170054-7fd9a0aa-me.jpg

This is a screenshot from google maps, just to show the place I was living with my parents for some years.
It was known as Sieversfleth, but was incorporated many, many years ago into Tetenbüll (and I think, it's a shame!)

And if you don't really see, what you're looking at, it's the place where you can see on Monday, who will come to visit you on Sunday :D

Tomorrow

My journey will beginn tomorrow and I'm so excited :)

And maybe I will come back, free of PTSD, after almost 2 years living under permanent stress and depression. 
Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?

Just right now I don't even know, what I could write more, so this short note will do :)

Have I mentioned, that I'm excited?

OMG, I am!

Low, lower, lowest

Yesterday I hit bottom, had my absolute low point.

I was listening to a podcast and H. came in, stood behind me, I stopped the video, he turned around and walked out.
He did it twice, kind of an old "joke" and I had told him times before, that I don't find it funny.

Well, yesterday I clicked, it was just the last drop of a series of things happening here, and I couldn't take it anymore.

All the thoughts, the worries, everything cumulated.

Selling this farm, looking for another place to go, Italy at best, but open to other countries as well.
I soo wantd to leave Norway!

It won't happen :(
I can ask here for social help, just because of all the years I'm living here.
I can't do it in any other country, that's a fact.

And I don't wanna do it here either!
But I don't have a chance.

This farm is clean, no loans, no debts at all.
So we will get out with a big plus, but anyway, this money will be gone very fast.
Buy something somewhere and live for maybe 5 years, that's it.
Or rent something, alone the rent will use up the money faster than I even wanna think about it.

So I have to ask for help and live the rest of my life, depending on social welfare :(

Thank you Klaus, thank you for just leaving/dying and the lie you told me, about me being in your last will.
Or was I, and your mafiosi mother and lawyer deleted it?
Still strange to think about, when I called your lawyer, only said my name and he said "there is no last will" and hung up the phone.
Until this day there are so many questions open, no one wanna answer.
Not your mother and not this mafioso lawyer.

Or is there a miracle waiting for me?
Maybe a littler shimmering light at the end of the tunnel?
Is there anyone responsible for miracles?
And if, whom can I ask?

The past

Just forget the past, never think about it again --- it would be amazing in so many cases and - of course - only for the bad ones.

But from time to time the memories pop up, just like that and the pain is back as well.
And I wonder, if some people are at least ashamed for treating me like an option.

Special those ones, that took with big open hands, telling me, that they will be forever gratefull and then just silence me out, ghosting me, as if I don't exist.
Best friend -- oh how much I wish, she would read this now!
And btw Susanne, one day I will write it all down, and in German, just for you, but open to read for everyone, who can read and understand German.

Maybe I will be free then, and leave the past behind me, for good that time.

If you treat me like an option, you don't deserve me!

Btw. this sentence goes for everyone!

Show some respect and don't just call, if you need something!

Sleepless in Norway

There was no sleep for me from the 9. to the 10. and when I went to bed yesterday, it was 7:30 pm.
I woke up at 0:30 am, drank a bit and slept to a bit over 9:30 today.

This insomnia is awful and I am stupid!
I could take a pill, but my reluctance to do so is immense.

I always denied to take any pills and since I got Sobril from the stupid doctor and went straight into an addiction, the reluctance is even bigger.

So for now I just hope, that the next attack of laying awake a whole night will wait for many, many weeks!

Looking forward --- again

But this time I have something to look forward to :D

30.06. Denmark I'm coming :)
and maybe I will find my new future home, given that there is a nice little house with at least a barn and a field for a horse or two.

And maybe I can make my dream come true, to give children with allergies the possibility to come in contact with horses.
And maybe I need to get my old domain back then. Or cancel the cancellation and keep my curly-horses.com?

I have to decide fast for the last matter, before someone else will buy that domain.

Oh my, I'm so excited to go there.
Will I find my new home there?

My heart is beating faster, in a good way :)

Wonderful talk

I just had a wonderful talk with M.
Over an hour and I'm really looking forward to the end of June and the meeting with her and her friends.

Such a kind woman, interesting and a lovely soul.

There is so much I could write about and even more would like to write about. But this has to wait at least 3 weeks and even then, I'm not sure, I then will write about.
But I know, that there is a piece of my heart, drawn to a small island. Not because of her, but thanks to her. 

Just 3 weeks and I will see this island, visit this island and talk a closer look on this island :)

This day became all in a sudden so much more beautiful ♥

Looking forward to

to what?

Heaven, it took a long time for me to understand.
I wanna move away and I would love to move to Italy.
For over a year I was learning Italian --- not sure, if anything really stuck in my brain. But without use ...

The farm is showing it's best face, the wonderful clean, green, flourishing face.
That one, that makes me fall in love with this place again and again and again.
Only to find out, that I was fooled, like every year, latest, when the winter hits hard.

I was out in the garden, missing this place already, before I even have left it. Missing my trees, my flowers, the view to the river, the birds and so much more.

And finally I understood!

How can I look forward to move away, when I haven't even seen the place, haven't looked for a place, can't imagine the new place?
I need to travel to Italy, look around for the perfect place, so I can start making plans and let my imagination run free and wild.

Gonna write a mail to R. and ask her, if there is any B&B in the area she is living, and if that place isn't for me, start my search for another place. But I need to start or I will sit for another year in Norway, with a winter I can't and won't see anymore.

Total stupid

What's wrong with me?

Every Autumn and Winter, even Spring there is nothing I wish more, than to come away from here.
And as soon as the temperature goes over 15 C plus I forget all and everything and can't imagine to leave this place.

Yes, there is beauty all the time, but to forget 10 months for just this 2 warm months? And not to forget, there were summers that wasn't summer at all.
I really have to remind myself over and over again, that 2 months with feeling well and happy won't make up 10 months of thinking "I wanna be somewhere else"!

Norway is beautiful, any season, no doubt about, but if I wanna see a beautiful winterday I can go for a visit and go back again to a warmer place.

Back to the roots

and back to the red :D

I gave in, couldn't take the picture anymore, when I looked into the mirror. 
This woman with the white hair, some underlaying grey, that wasn't me. 
For over 2 years I had fooled myself, always telling myself, that the hair looks good.

T. brought some Henna and after the first try I looked like something between a carrot and a honeypot. More yellow than orange, but just OOOOOOH NO!

So T. looked up for some ingredience to mix with the Henna. Another long waiting time 'til it was cold and C. put the mass into my hair. Wrapped it and finally I could go to bed, it was after 1 am.
Had a very bad night - how to sleep with this masses on your head? I really forgot it. So many years ago, that I had used Henna.

T. woke me up and I went into the bath, it was time for the moment of truth.
Liters of water later, I dared to look into the mirror and was greated by a warm, soft copper.

T. will take a photo and the next in 3 days, to compare, how much it will darken in the following days.

Obstacles in our way

Ok, my dear Universe, so tell me PLEASE

H. went to Larvik, a talk about a job maybe.
T. is in Drammen working, called and told me, how exhausted he is. Easy for me to hear it, there is something in his voice, that' giving it away.

He was working for 2 months with his car, to get it running again, Friday he came home, with a big happy smile and in his own car :)
Yesterday he called, he was with C. this weekend, telling me, there is more wrong with the car.

I wanted to clean the kitchen, the dishes were done and I cleared the hermetic from the tomato paste. My thought, it would be bad to cut my finger and in exactly the same second "CUT" *wth*

Why do you throw big rocks into our path?
If this farm is where we have to stay, so tell me!
Or what's laying ahead for us?

Please tell me, dear Universe, PLEASE!

Haven't there been more than enough accidents? More than enough disaster? More than enough catastrophes?
