Alternatives to ‘Get Well Soon’

February 9, 2018December 2, 2018Leave a comment

What should we say in the face of the knowledge that a loved one feels poorly? We don't want them feeling that way for long, and we want them to know it - what else can we say? I took some time to compile a list of all the things you could say to spoonies instead.

October 10, 2017October 17, 2017Leave a comment

For World Mental Health Day, I've written about my experience of chronic pain & its effect on my mental health. CW: depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideation. Look after yourselves ❤

Lost and Found: Miss Prism’s Lament (an original poem)

August 23, 2017January 3, 2019Leave a comment

This is a poem I wrote when I was about 15 years old, based on Oscar Wilde's 'The Importance of Being Earnest (A Trivial Comedy for Serious People).' Check out that complex rhyme scheme!

A poem about how pain can feel like it takes over your identity. Written in a flare. Any Spoonies who can relate, please make yourself known in the comments!

May 29, 2017October 17, 20172 Comments

For me, every month is pelvic pain awareness month. Nevertheless, I thought I'd honour this by completing the 'Spoonie' blogging tag and carry on my 'Diary of a Broken Vagina' series. Prepare to know me a lot better.

Want to know more about chronic pelvic pain, self-help, and vaginas more generally? Of course you do. Here's my entirely-not-definitive list of useful articles, books and even the odd video.

Diary of a Broken Vagina: An Introduction

January 20, 2017January 30, 20181 Comment

For about seven years now, I have lived with a dirty secret. When it first came to my attention aged 17, I kept it to myself, letting it rot inside me and making me feel utterly freakish and disgusting.

I totally forgot about #thankfulThursdays! Here’s my belated post… Filled-With-Gratitude Friday, anyone?

OMG: NaNoWriMo… YOLO/ FML

September 29, 2015October 17, 2017Leave a comment

Yesterday I made the exciting and slightly terrifying decision to sign up for National Novel Writing Month (“NaNoWriMo” for short – ‘cos even writers love abbreviations…). I can do it, for the good of the cause, i.e. actually finishing a bloomin’ story for the first time in my life.

This week, I'm feeling 22 (ooh ooh), and also, apparently, about 8.

A few favourite moments from the holiday with @lily.parham. You are 100% one of the rarest blooms of all. Thank you for your kindness, your grace, your patience, your quick wit, your sense of fun, your daring, your lack of embarrassment at your compatriots breaking into song & dance in public, and your organisational skills - turns out going on holiday with a fellow organisation-nerd results in a fabulous experience devoid of pressure and panic! Well, apart from during Hyperspace Mountain. But I forgive you for that as well, because good friends coax you out of your comfort zone from time to time... Anyway, just an excuse to say I love you very very much, and thank you for a) making this an unforgettable holiday, and b) being you. 💖 #disneylandparis #noimportaladistancia #bareneige
Never work with animals, children or enchanted mops. Rude, heavy, and didn’t even say ‘merci buckets.’
