Getting to know me

Allow me to introduce myself… I’m Keiran, a 23-year old-Londoner of St Lucian and Jamaican heritage. 

I’ve decided to start this blog as a place to share my experience of battling an illness and overcoming obstacles that I have risen from and navigating adult life. 

After recently going through a major operation to help control my illness, I have found myself in a place where…

 I’m happy to share my story with you all.
I have two older brothers and a sister, a close group of friends and family who have shared my journey and given love and time that has helped me get to this point with the illness. 

The journey has been long and difficult, it has been a strain mentally and physically but I am pleased to be in the position I am today.

I hope you can take something from my future posts whether it be for yourself or for a relative or friend who may share my experience. 

Please share this post and I will be back with more to share information on the illness and how I’ve dealt with it.

A Return to Writing

It’s  been a few years since I last had the thought to write again. Life reached a point where I needed to return to something I knew once helped me make sense of things. October 2023 marked three years since my last blog post — a post where I began to explain just one of the many health conditions I live with.   Three years later, a removed bowel, a liver transplant behind me, and the possibility of another diagnosis ahead,  it’s  clear that these experiences have taken a significant toll on me — both physically and mentally. Without fully realising it at the time, the trauma and hurt  I’ve  been carrying have led to an overwhelming cycle of on-and-off depression over the last two years.   There are many things  I’ve  been able to achieve in my 29 years on this planet. But feeling loved — and having genuine love for myself — are not among them.   My name is Keiran “Mandell” McPherson. Some of you know me as “ Keekz .” At the age of 15, ...

Guilty

Navigating life with a long-term illness comes with its challenges, my biggest challenge is feeling confident in myself to have any plans for my future.  When I woke up on Sunday 11th December 2022 I had no idea that I would have been placed in the hospital after collapsing at home during the day. But this put things into perspective for me as I felt that I started to become complacent with how I lived, I wasn’t really looking after myself, my diet was bad, I didn’t exercise at all and I was even smoking cigarettes and vapes.  From when I started smoking I knew it wasn’t good for me, I had no reason for doing it, I myself didn’t like any aspect of the smell, taste but when I got into stressful periods I would fall back into smoking as I felt it relieved the stress somehow, I know ultimately this is nonsense.  As I sat and told the consultants about my smoking habits they explained how it could’ve been a contributing factor to my having blood clots. However, it was explain...
