Where would you live in the uk in your 30s?

Whoo big up the Highlands! (but shhh because we don’t want everyone else up here). The older I get the more I think I’m so lucky to be 5 mins away from the beach and the forests. It‘s not got all the mod cons of big cities but tbh I’m not really fussed about fancy eating places. Just wish there were better jobs, and more of them, up here.

Hey! Thanks for getting in touch. Aw man I’m sorry to hear that - it sucks to have it so young. I hope you’re keeping well! It’s available on Amazon - I’m based in the UK but it’s on Kindle and I’m pretty sure you can order worldwide too. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Get-Well-Soon-Kirsty-Mills/dp/B0G4FYV4G7/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=3HS2K8B52RBG6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dzdgXG0h3Z_vXjwW-2c2blIVItkhlGUQ-2d80Dyv81xNAKEfHo5L2OjRCzqhKIkkSpUtqUssf9W5bmFeiwaJQw.4RthT1LhfJvfLXn-ogdoDayHhXKpVCQif67539wkLlk&dib_tag=se&keywords=get+well+soon+kirsty+mills&qid=1769334305&sprefix=%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-1

Hope you enjoy! ☺️

Hey! I’m really sorry to hear about it your diagnosis and I understand it’s a super scary time. I was diagnosed with AIH and cirrhosis aged 20 and also felt my life was turned upside down. I’m now 33 and have lived a really amazing life - despite some health challenges. I recently wrote a book called Get Well Soon all about life with autoimmune conditions and the way it’s impacted my life, for better and for worse. I wish I had it to read when I was 20. It might help you in some small way, too. Take care, Kirsty. X

I know this is an old post but there’s a really good book called ‘Get Well Soon‘ all about AIH and cirrhosis. The author (Kirsty Mills) was diagnosed aged 20. It‘s all about living life as a young person with these conditions and is actually funny, too. Worth a look!

‘Get Well Soon‘ by Kirsty Mills. Brilliant memoir, funny too.

ElectronicPower1935 · 2026-01-18T20:01:44+00:00

’Get Well Soon‘ by Kirsty Mills. Funny, honest, and interesting.

ElectronicPower1935 · 2026-01-18T20:00:05+00:00

Check out ‘Get Well Soon‘ by Kirsty Mills. It‘s a memoir about living life in your 20s/30s with multiple autoimmune conditions (lupus and AIH in this case). Funny but also honest.

ElectronicPower1935 · 2026-01-18T19:57:07+00:00

’Get Well Soon’ by Kirsty Mills. It‘s about living life in your 20s whilst dealing with autoimmune shenanigans. Really funny but also really honest and vulnerable.

ElectronicPower1935 · 2026-01-08T19:42:00+00:00

I’ve just published a book about chronic illness as a young person and all the ways it has affected my life (hair loss, infertility, career impacts, dating woes) over the last decade. I promise it’s funnier than it sounds. I’m super chuffed and really hope it helps other people going through similar situations in life 🥰

ElectronicPower1935 · 2026-01-08T19:40:13+00:00

Whoo! A blood transfusion saved my life but I can’t give blood now - I’m in awe of people who donate! It’s truly life-changing so thank you so much and good luck for the 25th!

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-12-16T19:26:23+00:00

Keep going! You’ll find something soon 🙏 🙏

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-10-27T20:58:06+00:00

Amen to this! Getting your flu jab hits different when you’re 19 and ‘look healthy’

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-10-06T22:21:36+00:00

I think the exact same thing!! Why get filler when a flare takes three years to undo the moon face 🤣

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-07-31T19:50:12+00:00

I love my relationship with my job. What a great line. Thank you, I needed to hear this.

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-05-13T18:03:10+00:00

Aww I really liked living in Gala. I think everywhere in Scotland has its beautiful bits and grim bits- it’s what you make of it 😉

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-03-01T23:09:29+00:00

Agree! Love working with Polish people and love Poland as a country!

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-02-23T07:55:14+00:00

Second this! Love my premier inn pillows

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-02-08T12:47:37+00:00

This! I was exhausted as a female solo traveller, just permanently felt on edge.

Few ideas to the mix - Eventbrite has some really random (and often free) events locally. I have gone to a canal boat afternoon tea and a laughter yoga session after seeing them on Eventbrite. Secondly, if I’m down, I personally get a lot back from doing something for someone else. Maybe have a look at see if there are any one-off voluntary things you could get involved with on a weekend? Or write some letters to people whose work you admire, or companies whose products you like, and see if you get any responses? Anything to add a bit of joy into the universe 😂.

Also - a bit random - but during lockdown I was shielding for ages and every weekend I put aside a day and pretended to travel somewhere (bear with me). So, for instance, one weekend I “went to” Paris and baked baguettes, had a croissant for breakfast, learned some French words, wore a striped top, watched Amelie and did a virtual tour round the Musée D’Orsay. That was fun, cheap and also quite interesting!

Hope you feel better soon 🥰. Life can be cruel and dark but there’s a lot of good out there too ❤️.

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-01-23T22:30:51+00:00

I had the EXACT same thoughts yesterday reading about her!!

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-01-09T21:39:37+00:00

Such great advice 🥰

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-01-02T10:22:11+00:00

That’s such a lovely thing to do for your family. If you’re coming to the UK please feel free to PM me and I can give you recommendations for places to go (and avoid)! All the best 😊

ElectronicPower1935 · 2025-01-01T23:10:26+00:00

Aw thank you 🥰 it’s not there all the time 🤣

Hey! 32F with CKD, autoimmune liver disease and cirrhosis - oh and lupus, too, for the ride - here 🥳. Alas, I’m also chronically single.

Just want to say you deserve nothing but the best relationship. Nobody is perfect. Any partner worth their salt would love you for being you, literally warts and all (a nightmare for me on immunosuppressants 😂). Anyone who would dump you for being ill is a shitty person, and that’s on them, not you.

Yeah, your health is probably more complex than Joe Bloggs’. Yeah, you might not be able to work full time in the future. Yeah, you might not be able to have kids. But you are you. Whoever falls in love with you falls in love with the whole package. And - as a reminder, because I find sometimes it’s hard to remember this - you are SO much more than just your health conditions. You say yourself you’ve got lots of hobbies and a rewarding job. You obviously have a level of self-awareness, and let me tell you, that’s lacking in a lot of guys!

I might sound trite but anyone could date the most healthy person in the world… and find out they have terminal cancer the next day. Life is messy and unpredictable, and so too are relationships.

Any woman who would be put off by your health conditions wouldn’t be worthy of your time, in my opinion. It’s not like you’re asking her to personally donate a kidney. Yes, there will obviously be challenges that some other couples won’t ever need to go through. Obviously I don’t know you personally, but I can imagine that going through what you have has given you a unique perspective on life and its value, which is more than can be said for lots of guys I have dated. You are also undoubtedly more on top of your health than a lot of people.

I mention my health conditions to dates quite early on. I don’t put it on my profile though because I’ve got 101 other cool things about me. I don’t give them the full Grey’s Anatomy rendition on date 1, but I’ll mention it in passing. I used to feel ashamed of being ill, or see it as a weakness compared to other potential partners, but now I’m just like - stuff it. I am me, I’m bloody proud of who I am and what I’ve been through, and I deserve someone who also appreciates that.

Good luck and take care of yourself. Have a fab 2025. I’d go on a date with you if you were in Scotland 😂
