Life with epilepsy. I’m getting tired.
If not from family and friends; where I have gotten the best support from is Reddit. To have other people understand your situation has helped a lot, I have felt very very lonely in this diagnosis since I was diagnosed 4,5 years ago. To understand that the changes in my body and brain is not me going crazy, something I’m still trying to learn: what is me, what’s epilepsy, what’s the side effects of the meds?
My memory is crazy bad; it’s not even a joke. I forget conversations being had, I can forget important names and specific events. Sometimes I feel such a shame that I can’t remember so I pretend to.
I’m on my 4th medication. All of them have horrible side effects: dizziness, headaches, nausea, memory loss, anxiety, shakiness, mood swings.
My epilepsy is called Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and is in the area of the brain that controls emotions, memory and sensory senses. So it makes sense of course.
But every time I get a new seizure it tears me apart: I oftentimes hurt myself in the uncontrollable fall, my whole head feels like an explosion of pain and so does every muscle in every inch of my body feel too. I need to rest (which I’m OH SO TIRED of doing) and then crawl myself back up again to someone I think I know: me.
Sometimes I get smaller seizures where I might stare for a bit but I feel it in my whole body, I’m dizzy and nauseous and definitely need to rest, when I get the ”small ones” I usually don’t say anything to the people around me as I’m so tired of being the one who’s sick. This stems from when I had cancer from age 19-25, which I’m declared well from: but to live in a body that cannot safely give you what you want from life, to not be able to trust your body. Motherfucking mindfuck.
I’m doing a major rant on here now. Being on social media is hard for me sometimes as I feel I like I’m pretending to be happy and cheerful when in fact I’m broken. But I’m guessing we’re all part of that; posting the positives in our lives.
All will be well! Lots of love to you ❤️

The time has come, change is coming lovelies!
This post is quite emotional for me to write so bear with me.
In 2019 I opened and have since been running the beautiful shop of @stormtattoo.malmo ❤️ On the last photo you can see me in 2019 when it was just opened and just a white shell.
During these years I’ve gained co workers I would call friends for life. Here is where my journey as a tattoo artist really blossomed and I’ve gotten to evolve and be over the moon inspired. I’ve gained clients that has become close friends, I have faced challenges that has pushed me to grow as an artist and as a person. We have laughed, cried, and everything inbetween in here.
The change that is coming is: we will move Storm to another location in Malmö (still very central and more info will come, exciiiting) and I will step down as an owner and go back to tattooing only - as my wonderful co workers @fred.och.kaerlek and @svante.tattoo will be running the new Storm shop. All of us at Storm are all still working together and we are all still Storm ⛈️ for this I am grateful, cause I can’t imagine working together with another team than the one I have 💜
I want to thank everyone who has supported me during these years!!! Cause I will not lie, it has not always been easy as my health has been declining. Without the responsibilities of being an owner I can therefore put all my love and energy into tattooing and creativity, a piece of me that has gone a bit lost on the way.
I will not ever be able to walk past this place in the future and not think of all the memories been created here and also a big: I AM PROUD of myself for having done this as a part of my journey! I wouldn’t change a thing ❤️
Thank you for reading, thank you Storm Mäster Nilsgatan for these years and I welcome 2026 with open arms ❣️👹
I can’t wait for the next year and our new adventure 💜
