Hi beautiful souls! Thank you so much for being here and for your wonderful comments - I truly appreciate them ❤️ I try to read and answer as many as possible, and know that I’m just so thankful that you take from your valuable time to do so ❤️ Love & light!

Hello Eirin, very gladly ...i have a cronic mental illness and i know how hard it sometimes can be ...i have painting as a hobby, too...when i was a child art was my favourite school subject 💐

[@desiertoscacti5388]

Good day the day I found your channel Eirin! I love your name and all your videos are so insightful, empathetic, sensitive, kind. Thank you a lot for being you! Greetings, M.

One moment, Eirin. Stop 😂. You never had a dog,... Do it please, please. I have had several dogs. Amazing experience. Cannot live without one. I was a dog lover, never liked cats. But now apart from my 2 dogs, we have 2 little lady cats 10 months olds, rescued from the street. And I love them as well. Cats and dogs are completely opposite on their care😂😂😂 but the 4 love each other. If your husband wants a dog, I suggest you to have one. Everybody needs to know the huge love a dogs provide. Cats do, but dogs are much more caring. ❤❤❤❤

Everyday I make the decision not to end my life. Today you kept me from doing that. I don’t know about tomorrow, but today you saved my life. There are no words to describe your magnificence. I pray that the Lord divinely heal you. I can not imagine how many people are being saved by your strength and endurance and tenacity to press on. I am 71….by the world’s standard I have it all. The truth is, the pain and emptiness are now winning. But not today. Thank you. May God richly bless you

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

@@eirinceciliegjedrem You cracked me up with your comment about being a keyboard turner on mmorpg games! I mentioned in the other comment I left to you on a different video a little earlier that I also am bedridden most of the time with my disability and World of Warcraft (WoW) had come out the same year I became disabled (2004). My ex boyfriend introduced me to it around 9 months after my surgery that disabled me, and the poor guy grew to regret that decision because of how engrossed I became with it lol. I became addicted and didn’t stop playing it until around 3 years later. I went through many different hobbies (some healthy, some not) to try to distract my mind from my relentless chronic pain and being stuck in bed, and that game was truly something else. It opened up my now small world by being able to imitate having a social life again and befriend new people, when I could no longer have a social life in the “real world,” etc. I wasn’t coping well with having an able bodied boyfriend when I couldn’t have a normal life anymore and I sadly pushed him away (it’s beautiful that you’ve been able to get through that with your husband). Anyhow, you may know (or not know) there was a part of World of Warcraft where one could be really competitive if they wanted, by playing against other people for some of the very best armor/weapons in the game, plus a special title no one else can get unless you achieve this hardest/most time consuming of all goals... Well before I became disabled I was a huge overachiever, and loved the feeling accomplishing goals that take a lot of dedication and determination. So I went for that goal (if you ever played vanilla or classic WoW, then you’ll know the goal I went for was referred to as Rank 14 in pvp, with the title of High Warlord for my Horde faction, and Grand Marshall on the other faction called Alliance). After around 9 months, I earned it! Not only was I the only girl doing pvp back then, but I led my faction’s team the whole time and I did it _ALL WHILE KEYBOARD TURNING with NO MOUSE!_ 😄😅 Everyone in the game would always be so astonished to find out about that (and my boyfriend at the time was amazed I could do pvp like that too), but because I was no longer able to sit at a desk on a computer, that’s how I learned to play and wouldn’t even know how to play with a mouse even if I tried. I did it all in bed on a laptop. I do have dexterity in my hands though, because even though I’m bedridden with fucked up 24/7 pain, my spine surgeon luckily didn’t paralyze me. So even though there’s that big difference between us, I just loved when you talked about being a keyboard turner because I think it’s just really cool that you can still play video games too to help give you joy in the same way they have done for me. And that we played somewhat similarly. ;) I go through phases where I will play video games for a while and then don’t wanna touch them for years, but I am grateful that they have provided a wonderful way to step outside of this insanely hard world and get out of my own mind for a time - escapism has been my biggest coping mechanism. P.S. It really is a trip hearing you speak just like me and fellow Californians with you being Norwegian! 😁 Also, you said that you enjoy photography and graphic design. Pretty crazy coincidence… You just described my college major and career before I became disabled at 28! Unfortunately I was only able to work in the field for 3 years before my fucked up surgery, but learning about that passion of mine was amazing in college too. And I adore Lord of the Rings/Hobbit movies too. I’m 47 but I bet we would be friends if circumstances were different. :)

[@rynearsoncats]

I'm sorry for the loss through miscarriage of your children. Before my husband and I were married, Ray said to me, "God willing, we will have children and if we can't, we will still have each other." I too had two miscarriages, including on the second, male, we experienced the heart beat through ultrasound. It was a tough set of times and after that we decided to spoil our nieces, nephews an our God son. Which we do. Now, we have 4 great-nieces in our lives. We are truly happy! And, we have a fur baby too, named Meow Meow as she talks all the time! Blessings to you from Cupertino, California, USA

I thought you might be from Canada. You sound like you could be. you have a wonderful voice and your English is awesome. I too suffer from PCOS. I never had any children of my own but married a wonderful man with two children. A girl Laurie. She was almost 7 and BJ (Bobby Jr) and he was 8 months old. My husband had full custody of the children. their birth mom seldom saw them. I adopted BJ so legally he's my child. I don't know why Laurie wouldn't allow me to adopt her but she didn't want me to. It was her decision. She wanted me to years ago but changed her mind along the way. I have 7 wonderful grandchildren and 2 great-granddaughters. They are all so precious.

I hope you will feel better soon and start planning the trip. I was born and raised in Poland but immigrated to Vancouver in 1987. I realized when going through my own medical issues that only a person who has exactly the same medical condition can understand how I feel.

You speak English better than some Americans. My mother in law was from Mysen (she passed awhile ago) she moved to Wisconsin in the 1950’s when she was 17years old. She learned English from listening to the radio and watching television. She spoke English well but still had her Norwegian accent, you speak so well that I barely notice an accent. You are a gift from god. I’m a nursing assistant and I believe you sharing your story is helping more people than you’ll ever know. Jeg ønsker deg mye glede og lykke i livet ditt.

When I was pregnant, I have nausea and vomiting, 24/7. They discovered that I had Gastro paresis, which is a paralyzation of the stomach muscles. It causes food to just sit in the stomach, and not digest. The only way they were able to help me was to give me a medication called Reglan, that causes motility. Luckily, I was able to give birth to three healthy children. Because Reglan eventually did become banned, due to causing birth defects in children. Erin, I have found your channel and love listening to you speak from the heart. You are a beautiful soul and and I am thrilled that you have an amazing mother and husband in your life and friends who also love you dearly.

Thank you so much for your videos. Your words mean so much to me. I fell and injured my back about 11 years ago, and while I have had pain since then, it has steadily worsened, and over the past year I have become more and more limited, physically. I started crying when I heard you talking about feeling like your husband is being punished for being with you, because I often feel similarly. I feel so much guilt and shame when he has to take care of me, or when I can't do basic things that I used to do, like the laundry and other household chores. Or when I can't accompany him to do things outdoors that we used to do together. I try to tell myself that my value doesn't lie in what my body can (or can't) do, but it's so hard. I feel like a burden to him and my children, and the shame I feel about that is overwhelming at times. I feel incredibly grateful for the things I am still able to do. But I am used to feeling so strong and capable, and the adjustment to this new way of living is a tough one. I am very thankful for your wisdom and insights. Thank you for sharing your world with us.

I just found your channel… I find you an inspiration. My story could have been close to yours. In 2008 I had a brain tumor removed and during that surgery they removed the middle ear bones which cause me to have a lot of imbalance issues. In 2010 that caused me to fall at home and land most of my body weight on my neck. I didn’t realize how much damage I did for several months. One day at work I looked down and my hands went numb and so I call my chiropractor which immediately had me get an MRI with in a couple of hours I had multiple doctors calling me to tell me I needed to get to a neurosurgeon immediately. The day I met him he called me a walking quadriplegic which I didn’t even understand for many years what exactly he was meaning. My injury was C3-C4 were crushed. After 2 failed surgeries I was left with chronic pain that endured for several years until I found a pain management doctor who diagnosed me with a spinal cord injury due to lose of blood flow during the 4 or so months before I had the MRI. I now have a Medtronic pump that controls my pain. As I said you are an inspiration because there are days when I still get down and wonder what life would be like if things were different. I love your attitude about life. Thank you for being such a positive soul!

Thank you for being here ❤️

[@grumpy4810]

Wow, your English and the accent is just like where I live in Michigan, USA! You are AMAZING! Your journey and your outlook is empowering. Not sure how you showed up in my feed but I’m glad you did!!!❤️

[@lindsayder]

I live in Vancouver. It is definitely worth coming here and to the rockies during the summer if you love nature ❤

[@MissJane777]

So i live in the USA, but travel to Canada all the time! I absolutely love it there!! It's only a few hours drive from me. I've been all over from BC to Ontario and I have to say, hands down that Victoria, British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦 is one of my most favorite places to visit. It's just all around beautiful! Highly recommend!

[@alanabernstein2081]

I have had a lot of trauma in life, I also have PCOS which lead to diabetes recently, you are so inspiring. The ability you have to see the beauty in life and through your experiences is profound. I also have a small family bc of a series of unfortunate events and it gives a person a different view of life. I feel that those who are able to see the beauty in a jagged world is Hard to come by. Keep up the positivity! Your outlook on life , your perspective and even your voice is quite calming and almost medication for the soul. Please keep on vlogging.

[@janetdunn8220]

You are a joy and have a wonderful soul. I love the Q & A. Love your name, glad to know where you live as I too picked up on a slight accent. Thank you for doing these videos. We all have many journeys we have gone through but you have a courageous heart. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

[@eirinceciliegjedrem]

Thank you for being here! 🥰

[@matilderobnff]

Hi Eirin, I couldn’t leave without saying thank you for your testimony. We’re about the same age and I grew up next to the ocean, lots of jumping and diving, so this could very well have been me. All I can say is you are so brave, and we appreciate you so much ❤

[@bronwynloechel5161]

How wonderful you are to share such intimate personal experiences with us. I have recently started watching you and I must say your confidence today shows 😊 Keep shining bright 🔆

[@susanevans4428]

Eirin, this was a very interesting and enjoyable video. You are so well spoken. I will be waiting for that book in the future.

[@janelleabbott2227]

I just happened to come across your videos and was drawn in by your story. You are so sweet and such an inspiration and I look forward to watching your channel. 🙂💕

[@theresekennedy6320]

Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤ I am so glad your video somehow ended up in my feed. You are truly inspirational and I could listen to your soothing voice all day… even if you were only reading the contents of a phone directory 🥰 Looking forward to joining you on your KZbin journey ❤️

[@gottabsunny]

Thank you for sharing your life. I am an incomplete quad. I understand what you talk about, totally. My accident was caused by a drunk driver 7 years ago. I'm 63 now. Talk about life changing. But I agree with your thought of being slowed down. So I look at my life now as being exactly where I need to be. Love you & will look forward to more of your videos.

[@cmills53]

I just found you today! I’m a retired high school teacher, and I live in Texas! My husband and I have been to Norway- what a beautiful place!! You are an extremely strong and brave person! I have chronic spinal pain due to arthritis- loss of cartilage between the vertebrae! It is so painful and because of this I also have nerve pain in my hip, leg, ankle and foot! I complain and ask why me- I feel very ashamed after seeing how beautiful and how strong you are!! I’m so glad I do bd your channel! YOUR ENGLISH IS BETTER THAN MY ENGLISH STUDENTS!😊💕

[@eirinceciliegjedrem]

Thank you for sharing, and remember; we all have our pains - yours is just as valid as mine 🙏❤️ That made me smile, as I love English - thank you!

[@Beeloved936]

Stop the guilt! You've been blessed beyond measure!

[@eirinceciliegjedrem]

Thank you so much 🥹🥰❤️

[@Storygram8]

I live in Canada, north of Vancouver, but about 12-14 hours of driving, depending on the weather. Vancouver is one of my most favourite places. So much to see and do. Taking a ferry from Vancouver across the straight to Victoria, on Vancouver Island and then exploring the Island is time well spent. 😉

[@cocinandoconrosita6902]

yes, travel!!! Please set up a gofundme page destined just for your family and you traveling expenses!! We want you to travel❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nataliejones7931]

[@marinaabbate3586]

I live 10 minutes from the Wisconsin border and your english is spot on for this area. I would never believed you were from Norway I would think you were a beer chugging, Green Bay Packer loving Wisconsite! So jealous of people who are bilingual. I studied Spanish for 12 years and I am still not bilingual. When you don't use it every day you lose it. Love your channel! You are so soothing to listen to and are so beautiful inside and out. Just subscribed!

[@eirinceciliegjedrem]

Thank you so much! 😃 A Wisconsite! I love it! 😍 You’re amazing for studying a 2nd language ❤️

[@bridgetc.1417]

You are so beautiful and youthful looking, without makeup! I've been ill in different ways and I've thought that same thing about my hubby, feeling bad like he's being punished for having chosen me. But our gifts are greater than our physical or mental challenges, and that is what they see. True love doesn't discriminate.

[@eirinceciliegjedrem]

Thank you for sharing your light 💖✨

[@maureenfesler6423]

Your voice is so incredi ly calming and pleasant to listen to - really lovely. Your english is amazing - I assumed you were American.

[@eirinceciliegjedrem]

Thank you 🥰

[@dayna6938]

Hi, I am so glad I found your Channel. I am from Ontario Canada. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I have binged watched your videos today and your outlook and positivity on life is very refreshing to see. If you ever come to Canada I think you would love seeing the Rocky Mountains. Maybe Banff Alberta would be a place you would love to see and experience. Also, the east coast is pretty amazing. There are lots of fishing towns there and you could go whale watching in Newfoundland and Labrador. I look forward to your next video. Hugs xoxo

[@eirinceciliegjedrem]

Thank you! ❤️ Oh wow! That sounds amazing 🤩📝

[@krissydantennimon8750]

Thanks for your videos!!! I am a direct support professional here in the states. I haven't gotten to support anyone paralyzed yet.... But I love my job and I appreciate you helping others understand people are people.... With pretty normal lives.....
