  • Flat, whole night

    Marit18 Apr 2025pleased energy 2turning point

    This week: Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Cycled to Leeuwarden and back. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That…

  • A different shape

    Mo18 Apr 2025tired energy 3

    Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Norah18 Apr 2025organised energy 2

    Right. 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. Small logistics win: worked out…

  • Nine minutes

    Nuala18 Apr 2025brisk energy 3

    She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it…

  • Protein first

    Ravi18 Apr 2025steady energy 5

    Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked…

  • No mask

    Sara18 Apr 2025foggy energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long…

  • An unremarkable week

    Sorrel18 Apr 2025fine energy 1

    Steady. That is the whole entry. 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…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Anna17 Apr 2025held energy 5

    A brief account of the week. 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. Nobody has ever…

  • Quiet

    Abel17 Apr 2025fine energy 5

    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 impression of…

  • A wedding

    Bly17 Apr 2025awkward energy 4

    A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. Starters as a main course,…

  • A locum

    Bodhi17 Apr 2025brisk energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. She…

  • A wedding

    Bridie17 Apr 2025awkward energy 3

    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…

  • Quiet

    Cass17 Apr 2025steady energy 2

    Recording this for the record. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down…

  • Circle tonight

    Freya17 Apr 2025warm energy 3

    Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…

  • Laces

    Gavin17 Apr 2025grateful energy 4turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. 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. Walked…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Hedda17 Apr 2025held energy 3

    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 most…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Kai17 Apr 2025brisk energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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 limits of yoghurt

    Ned17 Apr 2025steady energy 2

    A quiet week. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Got something with protein in…

  • Dreams

    Pam17 Apr 2025tired energy 2

    A brief account of the week. 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…

  • Dreams

    Solomon17 Apr 2025foggy energy 1

    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. Repeat study came back and the…

    Wystan17 Apr 2025pleased energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • Slept through

    Bram16 Apr 2025tired energy 2

    Well then. 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…

  • No news

    Bunny16 Apr 2025flat energy 5

    Evening. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Carl16 Apr 2025held energy 5

    Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…
