Kan noen hjelpe meg å oversette en tekst fra norsk til engelsk?

[krii3]

Heisann! Jeg skulle gjerne ha oversatt en tekst fra norsk til engelsk, med noenlunde god engelsk! Klarer ikke ordlegge meg bra nok selv, føler jeg.

Her er teksten (fra mentalhelse.no): 
 

Jeg håper du vet at den jobben du gjør ved å elske noen som ikke engang elsker seg selv, det er den vanskeligste jobben av alle. Det at hjertet ditt er fylt av så mye håp, tro og ikke minst kjærlighet, det er beundringsverdig. Jeg vet hvor mye dere betyr og jeg vet at dere kanskje ikke får så mye igjen for det.

For når en med angst har det vondt, så blir alt veldig svart. Når den du elsker bader i mørke, så vil dessverre ikke all din kjærlighet være nok. Ut av mørket må vi komme selv, men det at dere alltid står der og venter på oss, gang på gang, det gir oss en trygghet som ikke kan forklares. Det gir oss mot til å fortsette. Til å ikke gi opp.

For det å ha angst er kvelende og ekstremt vanskelig. Men jeg tror at det å se at noen du elsker strever med å holde hodet over vann, det er minst like vondt. Minst like stressende og traumatisk. Det hender vi glemmer det. Når vi elsker noen så går vi med hjertene våre på utsiden av kroppen. Så det er klart at dere også strever når vi gjør det.

Jeg har tidligere hørt at mennesker som strever med angst og depresjoner er egoistiske. Og jeg har også følt meg både såret og sint over at noen kan mene noe sånt. Men jeg ser jo nå at det stemmer. Vi er det. Ikke fordi vi vil, eller fordi vi velger å være det. Men fordi at når angsten står på som verst, så er den så altoppslukende at vi evner ikke å se noe av det som foregår rundt oss. Angsten sitter i hodet, så det er der vi bor. Da vil vi fort fremstå som egoistiske, fordi alt handler om oss og vår smerte. Så jeg forstår at når man elsker noen med angst, så føler man seg nok ofte glemt. Alt handler om å være sterk for den man er glad i, sant?

Jeg vil bare si at jeg har enorm respekt for dere. Det krever store mengder med både styrke og empati for å holde ut som en pårørende. For jeg vet så inderlig godt at min angst har gjort livet alt annet enn lett for min kjære. Og han står ved min side enda.

Jeg håper dere vet at dere kan være forskjellen på liv og død. På oppturer og nedturer. Og at dere gjør en fantastisk jobb til tider. Bare husk på å sette av tid til deg selv også. Noen ganger er det greit å la oss stå i stormene alene. Bare det å vite at dere ikke vil forlate oss, gjør at vi også vil holde ut denne gangen også.

Tusen takk, dere er fantastiske.

 

 

Takk til de som evt. tar seg tid til dette.

"I hope you know that the "work" you do by loving someone who does not even love themselves, it's the hardest task of all. The fact that your heart is filled with so much hope, faith and especially love, that's very admirable. I know how much the work you do mean, and I know you might not get as much back for doing it.

When someone with anxiety is in pain, everything becomes very dark. When the one you love is hidden in this darkness, unfortunately even giving them all your love will not always be enough to pull them out. Sometimes they must come out of the darkness on their own, but the fact that you're always standing there waiting for them, time and time again, gives them a sense of security that can not be explained. It gives them the courage to continue. To not give up.

Anxiety can be so suffocating and extremely difficult to live with. But I think that seeing someone you love struggling to keep their head above water, can be just as hard, stressful and traumatic. Sometimes they will forget that. When you love someone, you'll wear your hearts on your sleeves, and it's obvious that you'll also struggle when they do.

I have previously been told that people who struggle with anxiety and depression are selfish people. And I've felt both hurt and angry that someone can say something like that. But now I realize that it is true. We are selfish. Not because we want to be, or because we choose to be, but because of the anxiety we experience - when the anxiety is at its worst, it's just so all-consuming that we are unable to see our surroundings properly. Fear is in the mind, and that's also where we remain. And thus we will quickly emerge as selfish towards other poeple, because everything will be about us and our own pain. So I understand that when you love someone who's living with anxiety, then you can often feel like you've been forgotten. In the end, it's all about being strong for the one you love, right?

I just want to say that I have a tremendous amount of respect for you. It requires huge amounts of both strength and empathy to endure as a relative and/or a lover. I know so very well that my anxiety has made life anything but easy for my loved one, and yet, he contiunues to stand by my side, even through the hardest of times.

I hope you know that you can be the difference between life and death, during the ups and downs. And that you're doing a fantastic job. Just remember to set aside time for yourself too, you're equally important. Sometimes it's okay to let us try to stand on our own two feet during a storm, because just knowing that you will never leave us, makes us able to hold on, even when we're alone.

Thank you, you are absolutely wonderful."

 

Eh, kanskje noe sånt, meir eller mindre..  Eg har endret litt for at det skulle passe bedre. Min engelsk er ikkje akkurat perfekt, så korriger meg gjerne, men det bør klare å få poenget igjennom i hvert fall

No problemo, det tok ikkje så veldig lang tid (om eg skal være ærlig så slang eg først heile teksten inn i google translate før eg renskrev det og gikk over for å sjekke at det matchet den norske delen sånn noenlunde).
