Rollercoaster Life
Now I'm up! Last week, I was down. Now I see that I just had a mental breakdown. Nothing worse than that. I can handle falling a bit now. That's how life is. Ups and downs. It's tough, but worth it!
Dare to be open!
Openness gives me an easier life! Not having to weigh my words around friends is wonderful. Saying how I feel and knowing they understand as best they can. So share! Talk about it! Everyone has mental health. Being open about it can help many.
I've become visible!
It's really strange to say, but I've become more visible. Before, I was invisible. I blended into the background. Now, I stand out with colorful workout tights and a straighter posture. Life feels good when you feel seen!
More from Magnus
Magnus continues to share his struggle with anxiety. He shares experiences and thoughts about what helps him, and a little about a panic attack he had while on vacation. Openness about mental health is incredibly important!
Meet Magnus!
In this post, Magnus shares his battle with anxiety, from childhood insecurities to the insights he has gained through visits to the psychologist. Join him on his journey and discover how openness can be a key to better mental health.
Boys can also have anxiety!
Men's mental health is talked about too little! It's frightening how few boys talk about their anxiety. Magnus hopes to help make it easier by talking about his own. So the next posts will be written by Magnus.
Reality check!
A tragic event in the small town reminds me to appreciate the little things in life. Life can change suddenly, even into something painful. So, enjoy the small things in life and cherish the everyday.
Progress!!
I look back on thoughts about panic attacks and depression from last year, and how far I've come now. That I'm able to give back to others. Give them my time. It feels good.
Lower the stress hormones!
I have familiarized myself with what stress hormones actually are and do. The post reflects my understanding of it. The most important thing I have learned is that it is possible and necessary to limit cortisol levels in the body.
RAW Air Again
RAW Air in Vikersund. Crowds, expectations, and that pit in my stomach. Why do I still get it? I think I just dislike large crowds. And that's okay, actually. I still enjoy myself in short periods.
Seize the opportunities
Don't wait for life to give you what you want. Go out and seize it! Chase life and what you want. For me, it brings happiness in the form of mastery, travel, experiences, and time with Morten and other great people.
Catastrophic Thoughts
It's exhausting and difficult to have these thoughts, and it's hard to get rid of them. I still have them, and I'm not alone. You don't know how people feel just by looking at them. So, be considerate of people.
Weekend with good energy
Girls weekend! My energy tank is filled with infectious and good energy. Being around positivity and good friends is important right now. Negative work stress, negativity, and draining environments are not good.
My body failed me!
I was supposed to go skiing to Drammen, but I caught a cold. So frustrating! Support, positive words, and a different perspective from you helped me turn my thoughts from negative to positive several times.
Life is mostly weekdays
After making changes in my life, it's become more enjoyable! I fill it with what I need and not what others need. It's resulted in more mastery and fewer negative thoughts about myself.
Mastery at a High Level!
This week, I have once again witnessed and felt childlike joy, and I want more of it in my life. The feeling of mastery is delightful, and seeing my family succeed makes me super happy!
Looking back
I look back at my post about depression. I was going through a very tough time back then. Life was dark. I'm reflecting on some of my thoughts from that time. Depression, darkness, melancholy, and heavy thoughts are uncool, but are they also good?
I have a new friend!
It's KokoMiriam. The name I gave my anxiety. Through the recent times, I have gotten to know my anxiety. It has helped me a lot in accepting that I have anxiety and taught me much about how I can live with it.
