Poem on fibromyalgia i wrote.

Title: Wired in Pain

I wake up sore, from head to toe,
My body says "no" before I go.
The sun is up but I feel grey,
Fibro’s running the show today.

My joints are loud, my nerves are tight,
A hug can feel like fire with all my might.
Some days I’m strong, some days I’m not,
Energy leaves, whilst I sit here and rot.

"But you look fine," they like to say,
If only pain had a face to display.
It hides beneath my skin and smiles,
It steals my spoons and walks a mile.

The fog rolls in, I lose my train,
Words slip out and down the drain.
I’m tired, but sleeping doesn’t mend,
It’s a marathon that has no end.

Still I rise, though it hurts to try,
Still I laugh, though I want to cry.
This body’s loud, but so am I....
Fibro can’t dim my light or my fire.

I’m more than flares and aching day drains,
More than limits, more than pain.
I bend, I rest, then I begin again...
That’s the power living in me, even with fibro in the veins.

Fibromyalgia is so misunderstood. People see you on good days and don’t get the bad ones.

Invisible Weight of fibro

They call it "invisible,
because you don’t wear it on your skin.
But I feel it in my bones,
in the fire under my nerves,
in the mornings my body forgets how to begin.

Some days I wake up tired
from the sleep I never had.
Aiming to do 6k steps in my mind,
but my legs say "not today, love".
And I’m so sorry.

It’s not laziness.
It’s not "just stress...
It’s my nerves screaming in a quiet room,
my muscles holding a war no one can see.
It’s cancelling plans and hating myself for it,
and then hating myself for hating myself.

But I’m still here.
On the days I move slow, I’m still moving.
On the days I hurt, I’m still choosing.
Choosing rest isn’t giving up.
Choosing softness isn’t weakness.

So to the ones who get it:
I see your flare-ups.
I see you pushing through the fog.
I see you smiling while your body aches.
You’re not dramatic. You’re not weak.
You’re surviving in a body that’s loud.

And we’re getting through it.
One gentle day, one deep breath,
one "I’m proud of you for just being here" at a time.

💙

Chronic pain is exhausting. Being "tough on yourself" with fibro just makes it worse. Rest is part of getting better

A POEM ON: The Work of Hands and Wonder

1.Art isn’t born in galleries with white walls and hushed breath,
It’s born at kitchen tables at 11pm, in a studio that smells like clay and sweat.
It’s born when someone says “what if” instead of “that’ll do”,
and chooses the hard road of making something true.

2. Creativity isn’t a lightning strike you wait your whole life for.
It’s showing up on Tuesday when you’re tired and your back is sore.
It’s the hundredth sketch crumpled in the bin,
the glaze that cracked, the color that was too thin.
It’s choosing to start again anyway.

3. See, art is defiance.
Defiance against a world that says “be efficient, be fast, be the same”.
A potter’s thumbprint says “a human was here, and she had a name”.
A wonky stitch says “I cared more about meaning than machine”.
A painting with paint still wet says “I wasn’t finished with the dream”.

4. Creativity is a kingfisher over still water.
You don’t see it coming. Then blue, then ripples, then light shattered.
One moment nothing, next moment everything changes color.
That’s what happens when a maker walks into the room.
The air rearranges itself around their hands.

5. We think art is about talent, about “gifted” or “born that way”.
But watch a real artist and you’ll see the truth they don’t display:
Talent is 10% fire. Discipline is the wood that keeps it burning.
It’s sanding the same edge until your fingers stop hurting.
It’s painting over yesterday because today you see it clearer.
It’s love, made stubborn, made visible, made nearer.

6. Art teaches us how to look.
Really look. Not scroll-past, not half-glance, not “that’s nice” and move.
Art says: pause here. See the seam. See the reason. See the proof
that someone stayed up late doubting every line,
then made it anyway, and left it for you to find.

7. Handmade means fingerprints. Means mistakes left like breadcrumbs.
Means this cup won’t match that cup, and thank God, it doesn’t.
Because in a world of copy-paste, identical, sterile, mass-produced,
we are starving for the irregular, the human, the used
and loved and mended and tried again.

8. Creativity is also generosity.
Every piece on a shelf is a letter never sent.
“Dear The Corner of Creations , I made this for you. I don’t know your name yet.
But I imagined you holding it, and hoped it made sense.”
Artists give away pieces of their mind and call it “for sale”.
They risk being misunderstood and build anyway. That’s brave. That’s holy.

9. So when you walk into a place like The Corner of Creations,
and your breath catches on a wire, a sketch, a clay creation,
don’t just say “wow”. Say “thank you”. Say “I see you”.
Say “your late nights, your doubts, your hands - they matter to”.
Because recognition is oxygen. And makers forget to breathe.

10. Art and creativity are how we tell the truth
when words are too small and facts are too cold.
They’re how we hold grief without dropping it.
How we celebrate joy without explaining it.
They’re how we remember we’re not just consumers, we’re creators too.
That we all have kingfisher moments waiting in our chests.

11. So make the thing. Badly at first. Messy. Afraid.
Make it with crooked lines and paint under your nails.
Make it because silence is heavier than trying.
Make it because someone, someday, will walk into your Corner
and their whole day will change because you did.

12. And to everyone who already makes:
Your work is not small. Your corner is not “little”.
You are keeping wonder alive in a tired world.
Keep diving. Keep making ripples.
The rest of us are watching, and we’re grateful.

Poem about appreciating art, art is what I saw today by The Corner of Creations

The Corner That Deserves a Crowd

I walked through the door expecting “cute and quaint,
I left with my heart pounding, lungs full of paint.
The Corner of Creations isn’t shelves or a stall,
It’s hands speaking louder than noise in the hall.

Clay still warm, like the sun it was spun,
Paint still wet from the battles it won.
Wire twisted into tales I’d not heard,
Each piece a promise, each curve a word.

One mind, one day, a hundred things made,
From dawn till dusk in a beautiful cascade.
Pottery, sketches, stitches, designs,
All born from talent that truly shines.

Recognition isn’t pity, it’s giving what’s due,
To the maker who doubted, then made it anew.
Who stayed up late when their hands ached with pain,
Who chose to create, then create it again.

So tell every friend, post every view,
Point at the magic and say “this is true”.
Bring crowds to the corner, let wonder take flight,
‘Cause art that takes breath should be seen in the light.

The Corner of Creations deserves more than praise,
It deserves every eye, and every day’s gaze....
Let the queue stretch out down the whole Royston street,
‘Cause talent this big was never meant to keep.

Art can heal the world 🌎 ✨️

Rumination + BPD: Why your brain gets stuck on repeat, and what actually helps?

If you have Borderline Personality Disorder/ also known as EUPD, rumination probably feels less like “overthinking” and more like being trapped in a mental loop with no exit.
It’s not just worrying, It’s replaying the text someone didn’t reply to 47 times, dissecting one look from your therapist, or going over the same shameful memory until your chest hurts.

The long post: Why rumination hits harder with BPD

Rumination means chewing on distressing thoughts, feelings, and memories over and over without moving toward a solution.
For most people it’s occasional.
With BPD, it’s constant, intense, and personal.

Why it’s so common in BPD:
1. Emotional intensity + sensitivity: BPD brains feel emotions at a volume of 10/10.
When something hurts, it really hurts.
Rumination is the brain trying to “solve” that 10/10 pain, but emotions don’t get solved like math problems.
2. Fear of abandonment/rejection: One delayed reply can trigger “They’re leaving me → What did I do wrong → I’m unlovable → See, I knew it”.
Your brain rehearses the worst case scenario on loop to try to protect you, but it just keeps you stuck in the fear.
3. Black and white thinking: “If I’m not perfect, I’m terrible. If they’re upset, they hate me.” Rumination thrives in extremes because there’s no grey area to rest in.
4. Invalidation history: Many people with BPD grew up being told their feelings were “too much” or “dramatic”.
So now when pain shows up, you try to analyse it to death to prove it’s “valid” before anyone else can dismiss it.
5. Emotional memory: The brain in BPD tends to hold onto emotional memories longer.
That argument from 3 years ago can feel as fresh as today because your nervous system never got the “danger is over” signal.

The problem: Rumination doesn’t give answers.
It gives exhaustion.
It increases depression, anxiety, self harm urges, and makes relationships harder because you’re reacting to the 8th,20th, or 50th version of the story in your head, not what’s actually happening now.

The paragraph: What you can actually do when you’re stuck

You can’t “stop thinking” by force that backfires. The goal is to change your relationship with the thought loop, not erase it.

What can helps people with BPD:

1. Name it + get distance: “I’m ruminating right now”
Say it out loud or write it down. “I’m having the thought that I’m unlovable” vs “I am unlovable”. That tiny bit of distance comes from DBT’s “defusion”.
You’re not your thoughts.
You’re the person noticing them. Try: “Thanks, brain, for trying to protect me, but we’ve heard this story 20 times today.”

2. Use TIPP + grounding to get out of your head and into your body
Rumination lives in your head.
Your body is your escape route.
DBT’s TIPP skill works fast:
•Temp: Hold ice or splash cold water on your face. It resets your nervous system.
•Intense exercise: 60 seconds of jumping jacks. Burns off adrenaline.
•paced breathing: In 4, hold 4, out 6. Longer exhale = calmer brain.
•Progressive muscle relaxation: Tense + release each muscle group.
•Then 5,4,3,2,1 grounding: 5 things you see, 4 you feel, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste. Rumination can’t survive if all your attention is on the cold of the sink.

3. “Opposite Action” from DBT
Rumination wants you to isolate, scroll, or text for reassurance.
Opposite Action = do the opposite of what the emotion urges, but only if the emotion doesn’t fit the facts.
Feeling shame says “hide”? Opposite Action: send one text to a safe friend that isn’t about your pain. Feeling rage says “lash out”? Opposite Action: write the angry text, then don’t send it.
The urge peaks and falls like a wave.

4. Schedule “worry time” instead of fighting it 24/7
Tell your brain: “I’ll ruminate from 7:00-7:15pm only.”
When thoughts pop up at 2pm, write them down and say “I’ll deal with you at 7”.
It sounds silly, but it trains your brain that thoughts don’t get instant attention.
Most times, by 7pm the thoughts feel less urgent.

5. Challenge the story, but gently
CBT style questions help, without toxic positivity:
•“What’s the evidence for and against this thought?”
•“Would I say this to a friend?”
•“Is this 100% true, or is my BPD brain in black and white mode?”
•“What’s a more balanced thought? Even 5% more balanced counts.”
Example: “They hate me” ~~~~“They didn’t reply fast.
That hurts. It could mean they’re busy, tired, or bad at texting. I don’t actually know.”

6. Get it out of your head*
Rumination grows in silence.
Voice memo to yourself, journal dump, draw the feeling, or talk to someone safe.
The rule: share the feeling not just the facts.
“I feel terrified and small right now”
lands better than 12 texts analyzing what they meant.

7. Build a life worth living, not just survive the loops
BPD rumination gets worse when life is empty. Small “mastery” activities help: 10 min of cooking, gardening, music, volunteering, a walk in nature, art/drawing, tv shows or gaming and many more. When you have things that give you identity outside the disorder, the thoughts have less space to dominate.

8. Professional support matters
Rumination is a core target in DBT, Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT), and Schema Therapy all treatments designed for BPD.
A therapist can help you spot your personal rumination triggers and build skills before you’re in crisis.
If thoughts turn to self harm/suicide, that’s not “just rumination” anymore...

You’re not weak for ruminating.
Your brain learned this pattern to survive invalidation and instability.
Unlearning it takes practice, not perfection.
Some days you’ll catch it after 5 minutes instead of 5 hours. That’s still progress.

Those who have ADHD will understand this reel of Coby Watts 🤐😂

Why do people with epilepsy not disclose ot at work?

A lot of people with epilepsy choose not to disclose it to employers because the stigma and misunderstanding around seizures still run deep, and the risk of being judged or sidelined often outweighs the potential benefit of getting adjustments.
Epilepsy is unpredictable and varies massively between people, but many employers and colleagues only know the Hollywood version, someone collapsing and fitting on the floor.....so when you mention it, they immediately picture risk, liability, and disruption rather than a manageable condition that millions live with which coukd be them or their loved ones tomorrow to.

That fear makes people worry they’ll be passed over for roles, denied promotions, or quietly pushed out through “cultural fit” excuses, even when their seizures are controlled or only happen when triggered and can avoid those triggers such as bright/flashy lights, low sugar levels, sleeping enough, and so on.
It’s hard to disclose something when you know most people don’t understand it and will default to caution, which in practice looks like not hiring you, not giving you certain shifts, or treating you differently once they know.

And even when it’s illegal to discriminate under laws like the Equality Act, policy alone doesn’t stop it from happening.
A policy can say “reasonable adjustments must be made,” but if managers haven’t been trained, if HR sees epilepsy as a problem to manage rather than a condition to accommodate, and if the workplace culture treats disability as a burden, then nothing actually changes on the ground.

People get turned away not always through a direct “we don’t hire epileptics,” but through subtle choices: they’re told the role isn’t suitable, their application goes quiet after medical checks, or they’re offered less responsibility “for their safety.” Without real education, accountability, and a shift in how teams understand and respond to epilepsy day to day, the policy stays on paper while the exclusion keeps happening in practice.

AuDHD how it feels simple guide

How does it feel? It’s the question nobody asks us. They just tell us what we are....

Having AuDHD feels like being a computer running Windows, Mac, and Linux all at once… with 47 tabs open… in a room where everyone else has 1 tab and calls you too much......

How AuDHD feels day to day?

1. Your brain is a paradox, every second
Autism says: Routine. Same food. Same hoodie. Don’t touch me. Plan everything.
ADHD says: NEW THING NOW. Forget routine. Touch everything. Zero planning.
You live in: The whiplash between them. You meal prep the same pasta for 3 weeks, then suddenly can’t eat it and order Deliveroo at 2am.😂

2. You feel everything at 200% volume
Sounds: you can hear others TV = nails on chalkboard/your head spins
Hearing footsteps= adrenaline rush you wanna find out who or whst it is but the crack noise you feels it in your chest.
Light: Tesco lights to bright, cant stay run
Adhd I want to see what I can get,
Mind is always overwhelmed by contradictions

Emotions: Someone says “fine” = they hate you, you’ll die alone, spiral for 3 days.
You absorb other people’s pain like a sponge with no “wring out” button.

3. Social stuff = playing chess blindfolded
You don’t know if people are bored, serious, or joking → So you overshare or go mute
You laugh when nervous → People think you’re cruel when you’re terrified
You’re clingy → Holding a friend’s hand = sensory warmth/grounding, not romance
You miss sarcasm → Take “go get/do this, get a chair, dont just stand there” literally
You fawn/freeze → Say sorry for existing. Say yes when you mean no. That’s how issues start.

4. Your body betrays you constantly
Executive dysfunction: You know you need to do homewor, work, chores. Brain says “nope later”.
You stare at the wall for 4 hours.
Time blindness: wait i do it in 5 mins” = 3 days later.
Interoception is broken: Don’t notice hunger until you’re shaking.
Don’t notice need to p*e until bladder screams.
Meltdowns: Too much input = system crash.
You collapse, cry, sleep 14hrs, wake up guilty.

5. You’re always “too much” AND “not enough”
Too much: Too sensitive, too loud, too quiet, too honest, too clingy, too intense.
Not enough: Not employable, not “normal”, not keeping up, not explaining yourself right.

The AuDHD specific hell - where it clashes:
Situation Autism brain ADHD brain Result for you
Job interview “Script answers, mask, don’t stim” “BLURT TRUTH, leg bounce, interrupt”
You either look robotic or chaotic. No hire.

Argument Shut down, go non-verbal” “Word vomit, defend, interrupt”
You freeze then explode = “aggressive” in trouble
Friendship “Need clear rules, loyalty” “Forget to text back 6 months” You look clingy then flaky.
You lose people.
Rest “Need 10hrs sleep, same bedtime” “3am Wikipedia rabbit hole” You’re exhausted but wired. Always.
Hyperfocus: When you care, you CARE you hyperfocused on that thing

AuDHD feels like hell and heaven in the same breath.
Hell because the world isn’t built for you.
Heaven because when you find your people - your neurokin it’s the first time your tabs can all be open and nobody calls you broken.

AuDHD feels like being allergic to the world, but also being the only one who can smell the roses in the concrete.
A nightmare 😫

You’re not too sensitive,
You’re just tuned to a frequency most people can’t hear.
