  • Walking

    Nan29 May 2025tired but good energy 3

    Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps…

  • Slept through

    Patrick29 May 2025foggy energy 3

    A quiet week. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not…

  • She reduced it

    Sorrel29 May 2025brisk energy 1

    Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. A locum who had clearly read…

  • What is your secret

    Tansy29 May 2025warm energy 4

    Right. 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. Sunday lunch at my…

  • A locum

    Tinuke29 May 2025brisk energy 5

    Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which…

  • Protein first

    Anna28 May 2025steady energy 2

    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. Got something with…

  • A different shape

    Annika28 May 2025rested energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved.…

  • Slept through

    Ash28 May 2025tired energy 1

    The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Mo28 May 2025heard energy 4

    Week in order: Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Nine minutes. I took three…

  • Nine minutes

    Zeb28 May 2025brisk energy 3

    Three things this week. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Nine minutes. I took three written…

  • Slept through

    Aria27 May 2025tired energy 5

    Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find anything written about it.…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Bridie27 May 2025steady energy 1

    Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them…

  • Grip

    Calla27 May 2025tired but good energy 5

    Late, and writing anyway. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Came back after a bad…

  • My mother cooks

    Carl27 May 2025warm energy 3

    This week: Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently. No…

  • Slept through

    Harlan27 May 2025foggy energy 1

    Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot…

  • Paired

    Ike27 May 2025held energy 1

    This week: Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the…

  • Back without making it up

    Ives27 May 2025tired but good energy 3

    This week: Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Grip strength has gone…

    Lil27 May 2025brisk energy 3

    Evening. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. A locum who had clearly…

  • Quiet

    Moss27 May 2025fine energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other people's boring weeks.…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Nadia27 May 2025held energy 1

    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 about it.…

  • Flat, whole night

    Nix27 May 2025grateful energy 3

    Notes for the week. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not…

    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. Somebody asked what my…

  • Circle tonight

    Odile27 May 2025warm energy 3

    Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the…
