Living with ITP (autoimmune awareness)

Living with ITP (an autoimmune condition) has taught me a different rhythm of life.

It is an invisible condition, but its presence is constant; in small precautions, quiet worries, shifting priorities, and the resilience built in ordinary days. This space is where I share what it truly feels like to live with ITP, not just the medical terms, but the lived reality.

Some days are strong. Some are slow. All of them are lessons in patience, courage, and self-compassion.

I write to bring visibility to what is often unseen, and to remind anyone walking a similar path that they are not alone.

At the first Poet of the Month discussion by @alt.poetry , we read and reflected on Jayanta Mahapatra — his stark honesty, his quiet despair, and the way he interrogates both himself and the world around. Art & Artist – Chapter 2 ✨ Artists start with a plan. But I start with scraps, vibes & a glue stick that may or may not cooperate. For a long time, I hesitated to attempt translating Mahakavi Bharathiyar’s poems. But today, I decided to take a note from his own verse, on refusing a life of smallness, and simply try.
