  • I nearly did not write

    Ossian31 Mar 2025flat energy 1

    Short one tonight. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of the whole…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Tilda31 Mar 2025tired but good energy 3

    Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats…

  • Starters as a main

    Toby31 Mar 2025warm energy 1

    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. Sunday lunch at my…

  • Where the pen lives

    Zeb31 Mar 2025organised energy 2

    Three things this week. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two lines a…

  • Nothing to report

    Rohan30 Mar 2025fine energy 1

    Recording this for the record. 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.…

  • Awake at four

    Annika30 Mar 2025tired 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.…

  • Starters as a main

    Esme30 Mar 2025awkward energy 5

    Evening. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Harri30 Mar 2025held energy 2

    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…

  • She stopped the room

    Ives30 Mar 2025warm energy 2

    Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Keeley30 Mar 2025frustrated energy 1

    Short one tonight. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what…

  • I nearly did not write

    Mo30 Mar 2025flat energy 5

    Three things this week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept…

  • Quiet

    Ollie30 Mar 2025steady energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory…

  • Somebody new

    Rilla30 Mar 2025warm energy 5

    Quick one. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. The facilitator stopped…

  • No news

    Romy30 Mar 2025steady energy 4

    Short one tonight. 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 did…

  • Starters as a main

    Sadie30 Mar 2025loved energy 3

    Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working…

  • Both bags, one go

    Stefan30 Mar 2025quietly delighted energy 4

    Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Got down on the floor and…

  • Protein first

    Lucas29 Mar 2025steady energy 3

    Right. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. I have found five things I can get down…

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Aleks29 Mar 2025rough energy 4

    A quiet week. The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life. Cramp in both…

  • A different shape

    Aria29 Mar 2025tired energy 5

    Three things this 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…

  • Flat, whole night

    Ash29 Mar 2025quietly delighted energy 2

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

  • The list on the fridge

    Clemmie29 Mar 2025steady energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • Quiet

    Dot29 Mar 2025steady energy 4

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Jonty29 Mar 2025organised energy 5

    A brief account of the week. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Batch…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Linnet29 Mar 2025held energy 5

    Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the…
