  • Laces

    Ike16 Apr 2025grateful energy 3

    Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not…

  • No news

    Ives16 Apr 2025fine energy 2

    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. Steady. That is the whole entry.…

  • An unremarkable week

    Mark16 Apr 2025flat energy 5

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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.…

  • Nothing to report

    Nadia16 Apr 2025fine energy 1

    Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the…

  • No news

    Rilla16 Apr 2025fine energy 1

    Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Chopper Tuesday.

  • Starters as a main

    Salma16 Apr 2025warm energy 4

    Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none…

  • An unremarkable week

    Stellan16 Apr 2025steady energy 4

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then…

  • Somebody new

    Tavia16 Apr 2025warm energy 2

    Evening. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four of…

  • Flat, whole night

    Toby16 Apr 2025quietly delighted energy 2

    Quickly, before bed. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Noah15 Apr 2025steady energy 3turning point

    Well then. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Solved the 4am staff-room meal…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Bertie15 Apr 2025grateful energy 5

    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. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Tied my own…

  • The list on the fridge

    Fen15 Apr 2025steady energy 4

    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…

  • Sore and slow

    Gigi15 Apr 2025sore energy 3

    Reflux again. I slept propped up on three pillows and woke at two anyway. I have an appointment on Thursday and I am going to actually mention it this time rather…

  • Two sessions

    Gilly15 Apr 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. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up…

  • An hour on the floor

    Héloïse15 Apr 2025pleased energy 4

    A brief account of the week. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Voilà.

  • Two landed like five

    Moray15 Apr 2025thoughtful energy 5turning point

    Right. It simply stopped appealing. I miss the ritual more than the drink, which tells me something. Looked honestly at his drinking and got support for it. The pub…

  • Awake at four

    Odile15 Apr 2025tired energy 3

    A brief account of the week. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole…

  • Stayed for the company

    Rafe15 Apr 2025warm energy 4

    A brief account of the week. 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…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Saoirse15 Apr 2025steady energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek…

  • From the bottom

    Sara15 Apr 2025relieved energy 5turning point

    The shame about the gap was worse than any side effect I have had. Six people in circle said "yes, me, twice", and it went. Restarted at a quarter of the step size…

  • A locum

    Wilf15 Apr 2025heard energy 5

    This week: 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 reduced one of my other…

  • Walking

    Ash14 Apr 2025tired but good energy 2

    Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up…

  • She stopped the room

    Ashwin14 Apr 2025warm energy 3

    Three things this week. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly…

  • No news

    Bea14 Apr 2025fine energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. 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. An…
