Chronic Pain Days:
Chronic pain days. 🖤
I’m on day twenty-something now.
At this point I’ve honestly lost count.
This is the side of chronic pain that people don’t always see. I might still post, create, laugh, message people, advocate, work on music or share little pieces of my life — but none of that means I’m not hurting.
Some days are manageable. Some are brutal. Some blur into the next until you realise you’ve been in a flare for weeks.
I don’t show you every bad pain day, because if I did, chronic pain would become my entire online identity — and I am so much more than the pain I live with.
But those days still exist.
Today is another sofa, comfort object, pain-management, take-it-as-it-comes kind of day.
Still here. Still creating when I can. Still finding little bits of myself between the difficult moments. 💗✨
Not seeing someone’s pain doesn’t mean they aren’t living through it.

Pink and purple-tinted photo of Sarah sitting on a sofa wearing glasses and cuddling a colourful owl plush toy. Decorative stars and sparkles surround the image. White text across the top reads, “I don’t show you my bad pain days, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.” Sarah’s KawaiiDollDecora.uk branding appears diagonally across the photograph, with “Saturday” written in distressed white lettering at the bottom.
