So I've created a forum. It's not pretty yet, and I'm not the most technologically minded person, but between all of us, we should be able to make this work.
So about me: You might also know me as Bjorna from the Online Rescources for Modern Berserkers blog on WordPress. I created it because of the lack of resources for somaferans out there. This forum is taking it a step further, so we can have a place to have conversations with each other, ask questions, and create a community.
I'm a 24 year old female and I've been aware of my berserker nature for at least nine years (before that, I knew I was different, but I didn't know what a berserker was). I was lucky to have discovered Wayland Skallagrimsson's (now defunct) forum at a young age. It took a while for the advice I received there to sink in, but it changed my life and made me a better person, so I want to give that same benefit to others. In the past, I had severe problems with impulse control. I would overreact to the slightest thing. For example, I once threw a former friend into the door for just simply making a joke about me. He was a jerk, but some of the other people who had to deal with me really deserved better. I'm not going to go into too much detail about my past deeds because it's embarrassing and I still harbor some guilt. Had I not found that forum and learned a few techniques, I might be in trouble, and might not have a job. As it stands, I've been able to have a job and a relationship for a while without hurting those around me, so I want to thank those who came before me and advised me when I was a teen.
I am a berserker of the bear kind. I dream about bears several times a month. I'm dedicated to the god Odin, and I related to him in his poetic, creative, magical aspect just as much as his battle and death aspect. Therefore, I love music, story writing, poetry, and other artforms.
Sometimes when I would go berserk in High School it was for a valid reason, like standing up to bullies. And I've gone into one healing gangr when I had bronchitis once, but I did not bring it about at will. It just happened. The same physical effects happened that happen when I would go into a rage: I hyperventilated, my arm hairs stood on end, my skin turned red, my muscles bulged, and my mom claims that I was very hyper and would not calm down. The bronchitis healed soon after that! So,I would like to learn how to bring about that state at will so that I can use it for good purposes. But first I've had to learn to change my reactions to certain stimuli so I don't get into, or cause, trouble. I'm finally making some headway, so I might be ready to take the next step and try to learn to bring it out at will for healing purposes and as an act of dedication to Odin.
