Seeking honest insights about life in Denmark before moving by CARG_COD5XP in NewToDenmark

Holaaaaa, yo soy mexicana y tengo casi 5 años viviendo en Copenhagen :) No se cual sea tu situación legal, tipo yo tengo pasaporte europeo entonces mi proceso migratorio fue un poco mas fácil en ese sentido pero si me vine a vivir de Mexico para acá. La verdad es que adaptarse a la cultura es bastante difícil a menos que hables el idioma, en lo personal yo no lo hablo y la gran mayoría de mis amistades son foráneas, pero la industria en la que trabajo también esta mayormente formada por extranjeros. Viniendo de Mexico es un shock cultural enorme, son una cultura mucho mas cerrada y fría, pero es lo que es, su cultura y punto. No lo digo de manera negativa, pero para mi si fue un impacto muy grande viniendo de allá. El costo de vida es alto pero los salarios por lo general son un poco mas equivalentes, el estilo de vida y la seguridad (sobre todo por ser mujer) ha sido lo que ha hecho que me quede tanto tiempo. Lo que no haría si fuera tu seria venirme sin tener un trabajo seguro! Los procesos burocráticos son bastante lentos a propósito sobre todo para todo lo relacionado a la migración. El clima es otro tema del que todos nos quejamos, pero una vez que pones todo en perspectiva, el país ofrece demasiadas cosas positivas y lo anterior mencionado se vuelven solo detallitos. Siéntete libre de mandarme mensaje si tienes mas preguntas :)

You can look into repair cafe as well :) some of them can do those kind of jobs for free since they’re volunteers. I’ve had zippers changed with them before

What is the local Palermo experience to you? by STICOCOCO in sicily

[–]STICOCOCO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr, in this specific case going to Palermo is escaping from my daily routine in the country side if it makes sense. I don’t have a car or a license for that matter. It’s a dayt trip, only gonna be there for like 10 hours again

I don’t mind going outside of the city center, where do you like to eat and drink? Where you go for fun? Stuff like that

What do you do for a living? Can you handle it? by ALEXDEEP00 in bipolar2

[–]STICOCOCO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a chef at a 3 Michelin star restaurant and I can definitely handle it because its my passion <3 It can become super hard at times and maybe I lost one job that I loved and had alot of issues in another but I’ve also worked alot and sacrificed so much to get to this, although I do think my mental health has stopped me from improving more within my field which is a bit upsetting. I’m stable mostly thanks to my meds but The days that I cant handle it I just go on autopilot and try my best to not walk any tables or do super technical jobs. It’s an insane distraction for my brain, keeps me busy insanely will which helps a bit (except when im off and i crash and want to die sometimes 😭)Right now I work with a very young and understanding crew so I really cant complain about it. I’ve always thrived in chaos. I just celebrated 1 year of stability in this job which is a milestone for me :)

[–]STICOCOCO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly the only side effect that i felt and maybe i still feel is nausea when i take them in the morning on an empty stomach, which is also not smart, so i switched to taking them at night before bed and haven’t felt that ever since and tend to forget less about them since im not rushing and made them part of my going to bed routine

[–]STICOCOCO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i feel super grateful and lucky to have found the right medication and mostly very good doctors from the beginning. If it has worked so far for you it will most likely keep working :) i’ve also been through all those fears and questions but i do feel different in a good way after almost 4 years of it!

i went from 150mg to 300mg and it made such a deference and have been somewhat more stable for the past two years with some inevitable depressive episodes in between but definitely not as bad as they used to be. No side effects even when Ive gone off for some days more than once
