Hei! Jeg har tenkt meg på et lengre utenlandsopphold (ca 9 måneder) fordi jeg har digitale studier, så jeg har muligheten til å kunne oppleve noe annet for en stund.

For å få visum for lengre opphold må jeg legge til bevis på gyldig forsikring for hele oppholdet. Så kontaktet banken jeg har reiseforsikringen min i, og de vil ha 20 000kr. Altså 800kr i UKEN.

Jeg er ikke særlig bereist så var ikke klar over at det var en slik høy premium på dette.

Er det noen hær som har erfaring med lengre utenlandsopphold som har noen tips til billigere forsikring? Eller må jeg bare take the L?

For context: I’ve been clinically depressed since I was born. Because of complications during pregnancy, and birth, and continued stress and trauma during childhood my brain never developed the ability to produce a normal amount of happy chemicals.
But with the right medications and an elephant’s dose of therapy and mental work, I’m now a happy normal person.

I’ve always loved to write, ever since i was a child. It’s been therapeutic, it’s been a creative outlet, and as time went on, my writing became decent enough that people would request poems and stories from me. It felt nice being halfway decent at something.

However, ever since my depression disappeared, I haven’t been able to write. Because, my vocabulary, my associations, metaphors, everything needed to write is negative, depressive, fatalistic. All my life’s experiences and how I have narrated them in my head, the things I’ve chosen to notice and remember, all of it is fantastic fodder for writing about broken people. But now that I don’t want to write about heartbreak, but actual healthy love. I have no idea how to bring these feelings down on paper.

Does anybody have any advice on how I can practice writing love instead of hate? How do I channel these feelings of happiness on the page like I did the crushing pain of existential dread?

FYI; English is not my first language.
