**trigger warning: recurring themes of physical & mental health**

this book contains sensitive content related to mental & physical health, trauma, abuse, disordered eating, & topics surrounding hospitals, doctors, & death. the following themes & imagery may be potentially distressing or triggering for some readers. please exercise caution & prioritise your well-being while engaging with this material:

- discussions of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma & intense emotional distress.
- references to past experiences of abuse, emotional, physical & sexual.
- exploration of disordered eating behaviors & their impact on mental & physical health.
- descriptions of medical settings, including hospitals, doctors, procedures & treatments.
- reflections on themes of loss, grief, & mortality, including discussions about death.

whilst i aim to address these topics with sensitivity & empathy, it's essential to prioritise your own mental & emotional well-being. if you find these subjects particularly triggering or feel overwhelmed, it may be best to approach this book with caution or seek support from a mental health professional/someone you trust.

remember, your well-being is paramount, & it's important to engage with content that feels safe & supportive for you.

all poems will be preceded by trigger warnings if deemed necessary. if you feel there are some missing or have any other concerns, do let me know.

thank you,
rae.
