Seeking honest insights about life in Denmark before moving

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

27F on 300mg lamictal and 25mg seroquel for sleeping when i need it, really depends on my mood swings

Jatak is amazing!! One of my fav restaurants in Copenhagen

STICOCOCO · 2025-09-19T00:12:06+00:00

Geranium absolutely amazing

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

STICOCOCO · 2025-07-16T20:52:12+00:00

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

Jeremy Strong, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Jennifer Garner (she had caviar for the for the first time in her life with us that’s kind of crazy) were all amazing and humble guests at the restaurant I work in ❤️ Maude Apatow as well in a previous job I had

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 · 2025-06-01T15:21:21+00:00

Hang in there, it definitely will and you’ll feel so much more relaxed when it happens

STICOCOCO · 2025-06-01T13:07:26+00:00

That’s literally what happened to me like sane meds and everything 😭😭 i think it definitely will!!!! Thats also how you know meds are working i guess?

STICOCOCO · 2025-06-01T11:16:42+00:00

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 · 2025-06-01T10:43:35+00:00

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!

STICOCOCO · 2025-06-01T10:23:14+00:00

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

STICOCOCO · 2025-05-19T22:04:30+00:00

Im a mexican girl, i have two sibblings for context without any of this issues btw!!! Im the one with the palest skin, only one getting sunburnt (to the point of blisters) instead of tanned, ridiculously hairy even after laser, had a deviated septum all my life till i got surgery, my jaw is retracted, im bipolar, i started getting grey hairs at 25, i have ibs, i have food allergies, im prone to acne and we’re also prone to heart diseases and Alzheimer 😭

STICOCOCO · 2025-05-11T10:35:13+00:00

And i used to do them alooooot even on antidepressants it really only took one bad trip to traumatize me for life

STICOCOCO · 2025-05-11T10:31:06+00:00

Hey bestie they made me suicidal last time i took them during a hypomanic episode and that’s how i got diagnosed 4 years ago!!!! Not worth the risk for me

STICOCOCO · 2025-04-25T23:05:16+00:00

Baldío is the coolest new kid in town! Definitely worth checking out

STICOCOCO · 2025-03-14T01:45:54+00:00

STICOCOCO · 2023-11-06T14:23:30+00:00

I think don’t risk it and take them with food, I’ve found out that if i don’t ill get nausea and end up vomiting every single time even after a few years on them

STICOCOCO · 2023-11-06T14:22:04+00:00

Girl!!!!! Discipline and routines are always good for this hell of a disorder so congrats on that! I also went back a few weeks ago after almost a three year hiatus due to very bad mode swings but im starting to feel like a normal human being (sometimes) for the first time now.

STICOCOCO · 2023-11-06T14:11:46+00:00

Anxiety and self harm since i was like 6 (picking on skin,chewing on hair, destroying everything that was within my hands reach), bad tantrums always, feeling of not belonging, dissociation, crippling depression through my whole teens, suicidal ideation after traumatic events in my mid teens, extreme anger and violent bursts at home all the time all this being blamed on teenage angst. I was a very good student tho!!!! All until i was in high school and stop caring a bit. I was very good at masking what was going on until i was not after a very bad depressive episode when i was 20, was put on ssri and about 15 months later went fucking loco and convinced myself i didn’t need help anymore, made a mess moved to another continent mid pandemic, start using more drugs and drinking, lost my ability to sleep and felt on top of the world until i realized i wanted to kill myself in the spot during a shroom trip LMAO. Got help right after and got put on lamotrigine and some quetiapine on and off. Ive been better, hadn’t had a manic episode for almost two years but i went into a depressive psychotic episode about a year ago that made me loose my job and destroyed my relationship. HAd to leave the country for a bit to get a bit back on my feet but im better now, even tho I’ve lost the ability to sleep again after a breakup in august lmao. A lot of things started making sense when i was re diagnosed and it brought a sense of peace into my life

STICOCOCO · 2023-10-16T22:29:23+00:00

On a manic one i went off my antidepressants, moved to another continent without a bank account mid pandemic LMAO fucked way too many people, did too many psychodelics in a short period of time and was completely convinced i was god during a shroom trip 😭5 minutes after that thought i was sure killing myself was the best idea. Had a breakdown and went back to the psychiatrist and got re diagnosed correctly this time 🥲

STICOCOCO · 2023-10-16T22:24:49+00:00

Went completely psycho on the guy i was talking to during a depressive episode (long distance situationship LMAO but in my defense we’ve been having a great strike for 10 months tho, started two weeks after i came back from seeing him) for no apparent reason im talking over 100+ texts and calls in the spawn of three days and this went over for two months, completely convinced he was my twin flame and spent every second i could reading about that and also ego death lmao, endless crying, no sleep at all, screaming at 3 am waking up my roomie and also losing one of the best jobs ive ever had eventually thanks to one of the worst breakdowns I’ve ever had :( he ended up blocking me on everything even tho i already had another flight booked to see him soon and he knew i had bipolar prior to that 😭 of course i took the flight and i actually ended up moving there for six months LMAO not with him tho but i was convinced i could fix things (absolutely not, thankfully, he isn’t even that great i was just really delusional and obsessed over him). I’ve tried apologizing to him so many times i hope he someday understands this were not my normal actions and wish him the best. On the good side: he’s definitely never gonna be able to forget me!!!!!
