A little passion project…

If you have a chronic illness you know how often a doctor asks you to keep track of your symptoms, medication side effects, diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, etc.

I have always hated it. I find it boring and depressing. Focusing on my symptoms reminds me I am sick, focusing on my pain makes it hurt more. So I have been really bad at it. Which doesn’t help the doctors do their job better.

So I am designing chronic pain journals that have useful, interesting, or engaging elements to them and selling them on Amazon.

My first is filled with haiku I have written over the years I have been dealing with these diseases. I designed it to commiserate, uplift, and ideally make you feel less alone.

The second I designed is a chronic pain management coloring book journal, so that keeping track of all this stuff isn’t as boring. It has a floral theme.

I’m designing other journals as well, because I am stuck inside a lot and bored and creating things makes the time pass more swiftly. You can visit my author page every now and then to see what I’ve done.
