  • The Sickle World by DarkRoomPoetics

    There is the world everyone else lives in, and then there is the sickle world. ​It's a place where a change in the weather isn't just an inconvenience-it's a physical threat. Where plans are always written in pencil because your own blood cells can decide to stage a coup at any given moment. ​The Sickle World is a collection of raw, conversational prose and poetry written from the trenches of chronic illness. It's not an idealized story of "triumphing over adversity," nor is it a clinical breakdown of a medical condition. Instead, it's a blunt, middle-of-the-night look at the reality of living in a body that hurts. It captures the heavy silence of the hospital room, the frustration of being misunderstood by a healthy world, the exhausting mental math of pacing your own energy, and the quiet, stubborn resilience it takes to keep breathing through a crisis. ​This is for anyone who knows what it's like to mourn the versions of themselves they had to leave behind. It's for the chronically ill who are tired of being told to "stay positive," and for the people who love them who want to finally understand what it really feels like inside the storm. ​No filters. No toxic positivity. Just the beautiful, painful, absolute truth of a life lived one heartbeat at a time.

I love writing so why not write about the most important thing in my life-my health. This story will follow my journey with my chronic illnesses, how I cope, how I was diagnosed, my daily schedule and what I do to pass the time, my medications, doctors appointments, and just regular teenager stuff! I'm not sure anyone will care about this but we'll see I guess!

    Ever since I was little I have been raised in and out of hospital's dealing with all sorts of health issues and I know it can be very scary never knowing what is going to happen. I wanted to write a short little book on doctor appointments, surgeries, dealing with a diagnosis, etc. The reason I am writing this is because it may ease some minds or even help in some small way, if you ever have any personal questions you can message me on here. Have a lovely day and good luck to whatever trial is coming your way!

    Layla Brass was popular, very popular... Until she got ill. This is a fictional story. But ME/CFS are real conditions and Layla's symptoms are the only part of 'This Isn't Me' that are based on fact. There is also a recording of me reading each chapter of this book, I make the odd mistake but it's easy to understand and saves you from reading/looking at a bright screen. Sakara Dee (:
