  • The question I had been avoiding

    Rowan21 Apr 2025brisk energy 5turning point

    This week: Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Telehealth review that…

  • Two lines a day

    Aleks21 Apr 2025organised energy 3

    Short one tonight. 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. Anchored injection…

  • A rough few days

    Ammi21 Apr 2025flat energy 4turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Ashwin21 Apr 2025held energy 2

    Three things this week. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed…

  • Stayed for the company

    Bel21 Apr 2025warm energy 3

    The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour. Somebody new…

  • Somebody new

    Col21 Apr 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…

  • Nine minutes

    Dot21 Apr 2025brisk energy 5turning point

    Well then. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Repeat study: apnoea much…

  • No mask

    Florrie21 Apr 2025foggy energy 5

    Evening. 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. The sleep has changed shape…

  • Where the pen lives

    Héloïse21 Apr 2025organised energy 5

    Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. Batch cooked on a good…

  • Across the day

    Ike21 Apr 2025steady energy 1

    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. Greek yoghurt,…

  • She noticed first

    Inês21 Apr 2025held energy 2

    She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five…

  • My mother cooks

    Lu21 Apr 2025loved energy 2

    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 main…

  • No news

    Nan21 Apr 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.…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Obi21 Apr 2025organised energy 3

    Notes for the week. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Anchored injection…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Sonia21 Apr 2025pleased energy 3turning point

    Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Fourteen-hour service and her knees held. Got down on the floor and back up…

  • Laces

    Tobias21 Apr 2025quietly delighted energy 5

    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…

  • Steady

    Toby21 Apr 2025fine energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. 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. I nearly…

  • Nothing to report

    Lucas20 Apr 2025fine energy 4

    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. An unremarkable week.…

  • An hour on the floor

    Ammi20 Apr 2025grateful energy 3

    Short one tonight. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Tied my own laces standing…

  • Where the pen lives

    Dilly20 Apr 2025organised energy 2

    Evening. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Two lines a day in a paper…

  • Nothing to report

    Fen20 Apr 2025flat energy 3

    This week: Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Flat again. Good.

  • Quiet

    Moss20 Apr 2025steady energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this…

  • Grip

    Ossian20 Apr 2025tired but good energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. 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. Eight…

  • Protein first

    Ottoline20 Apr 2025steady energy 3

    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…
