My name is Sirja Ellen but online I'm mostly known as Shaluna or Shalunamus. I was born 1985 Friday the 13th to a dark and cold December night. I was very tiny, 760g and 33cm, because I was born on a 25th week (second trimester). I spend the first 5 months in a hospital and then I moved to a quite big house with my parents and my brother, who is eight years older than me. I spend my mostly happy childhood in Espoo, running through forests, building huts from sheets and branches (not my pic though) and walking dogs. I was bullied a bit at school, from 12 to 15 year old and during that time my depression (+mania( and eating disorder began.
After primary school (from 6 to 15( I went to study to become a travel councelor, but I never finished that. Then I worked in a cafe for a year, started highschool for adults, got my first longer hypomania which lead to my first psychosis. That was on spring 2006. In that spring I saw doctors very often, moved to a studio apartment with my girlfriend, got engaged and was finally had some treatment for my mental disorders. Now I live in a three-room apartment with the same girlfriend and our 30 to 40 children (aka stuffed animals).
In my free time I'm online, read, watch movies and tv, take photos, do papercrafts and sleep. I have a lot of free time, since I'm on a disability pension. I've been out of work and school life for most of the last five years. During the first year of treatment my diagnoses changed quite a lot, but now the papers have said bipolar and ed-nos for four years. I stay awake most nights and sleep during the day. I see my therapist two times per week and sometimes leave the house to do other things. I'm helping my father to keep score on baseball matches, I shop (way too much(, I go to the movies, gigs and sometimes demos. I love thrift stores, sunsets, my girlfriend, hedgehogs, pugs and Hello Kitty. More about my favourite things and hobbies below. ●
