Mental Health

In October 2021 I became a dad for the first time. It was not the happiest moment in my life as I had expected… After my girlfriend was rushed to the hospital 2 times in an ambulance and lost 4,5 liter of blood while giving birth to our daughter, the doctors quickly found out that she was born with Congenital DM1 (Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1) – https://lnkd.in/dcwDcHAZ

DM1 multisystem disorder that affects your muscles. As it is a genetic diagnosis we quickly found out that my girlfriend has the Classic DM1 and one of her children who lives with us was diagnosed Classic DM1 too.

The doctors told us that there was a 20-40% chance that she would not make it. We spent 3 months at the hospital and there will be more time spent with our healthcare system who has done an incredible job so far. Thanks for taking so good care of us Rikshospitalet and Ullevål Sykehus. Thanks to AssisterMeg for watching our daughter at night so we can sleep. Thanks to friends and our families for all the support!

I am grateful that we live in Norway with a healthcare system that takes care of me and my family like this. I have a new perspective on paying my taxes now!

If you want to talk about DM1 or mental health, let me know!

I am also the founder and CEO of Bizbot and I have not been able to focus the way I wanted for the past 8 months #familiyfirst. I am not giving up, but I need help. I have always needed help, but now I need help more than ever to be able continue the journey on one of my dreams of building a digital co-founder! Please take a look here: www.bizbot.com

My intention with this post:

– Get people to know about Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 #DM1#MyotonicDystrophy
– Ask for help to build BizBot (I have always needed help, it’s just that the story has changed)
– Awareness about mental health for entrepreneurs #mentalhealth

This is part of my story and I want to share it with you. My hope is that it can bring value to anyone who is in the same situation or that is looking for a really cool job!
