  • Quiet

    Huw31 May 2025fine energy 3

    This week: Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is…

  • Nothing to report

    Pam31 May 2025flat energy 1

    Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for the eleventh week running.…

  • Stayed for the company

    Saoirse31 May 2025warm energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It…

  • Off the floor

    Tobias31 May 2025grateful energy 2

    Recording this for the record. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and…

  • My mother cooks

    Tulla31 May 2025warm energy 5

    This week: My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem to be solved. Starters as a…

  • Quiet

    Abel30 May 2025flat energy 1

    A brief account of the week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been…

  • Steady

    Ashwin30 May 2025flat energy 4

    Week in order: Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Bay30 May 2025organised energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Batch cooked…

  • Starters as a main

    Birdie30 May 2025awkward energy 3

    Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed,…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Bruno30 May 2025organised energy 5

    Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad…

  • Protein first

    Clemmie30 May 2025steady energy 5

    I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I own. Was undereating without…

  • Across the day

    Esme30 May 2025steady energy 2

    Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer. Protein first,…

  • A different shape

    Gwen30 May 2025tired energy 4

    Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. Waking at four again. Not anxious,…

  • She reduced it

    Hannah30 May 2025frustrated energy 1

    Short one tonight. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. A locum who had clearly…

  • Flat, whole night

    Maeve30 May 2025grateful energy 3

    Right. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Got down on the floor and…

  • Grip

    Solomon30 May 2025tired but good energy 3

    Three things this week. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Kept the two sessions…

  • She noticed first

    Stellan30 May 2025held energy 2

    Recording this for the record. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Paired up. We text on Sunday…

  • I nearly did not write

    Noah29 May 2025fine energy 5

    Well then. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…

  • An unremarkable week

    Evening. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It…

  • Both bags, one go

    Hedda29 May 2025quietly delighted energy 3

    Notes for the week. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Walked into…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Marit29 May 2025held energy 1

    This week: Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question…
