About Me

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I was born in Denmark in 1945. I have the classic version of EDS, where the skin splits at the drop of a hat, and the extensive scarring stays with you for good. It influenced my self-esteem and my life. I tried harder in every context, and couldn’t understand why so many physical things became failures.
I got an MA in English and Spanish, taught, translated books and worked as a journalist. At 50 I broke down physically and mentally. I received a disability pension.
I moved to Spain. I kept writing and translating, but I felt so guilty about not working full time that I tried to resume my work as a journalist. This time it almost killed me. Corona-lockdown gave me time to think…
You are not “Everybody” and “Most people”. What they “know” and “say” and “feel” is of little importance to you.
