  • Nothing to report

    Ammi27 Mar 2025fine energy 4

    A quiet week. 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. Nothing…

  • Propped up on pillows

    Cato27 Mar 2025flat energy 5

    This week: Bad week and I am writing it down anyway, because a journal that only contains the good weeks would be a lie and no use to anybody reading it later. The…

  • No news

    Ephraim27 Mar 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…

  • No mask

    Espe27 Mar 2025foggy energy 1

    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.…

  • Somebody new

    Hedda27 Mar 2025warm energy 5

    Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring.…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Juno27 Mar 2025organised energy 5

    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. New sharps bin, and a plan for…

  • Somebody new

    Lu27 Mar 2025warm energy 1

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight,…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Nadia27 Mar 2025organised energy 4

    Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Odile27 Mar 2025organised energy 4

    A brief account of the week. 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. Tested…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Sara27 Mar 2025grateful energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the…

  • Protein first

    Thea27 Mar 2025steady energy 3

    A brief account of the week. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across…

  • The list on the fridge

    Anna26 Mar 2025steady energy 5

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across the day instead of trying to…

  • Slept through

    Noah26 Mar 2025tired energy 5

    Well then. 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. Vivid dreams, every…

  • Steady

    Bay26 Mar 2025fine energy 5

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most…

  • A wedding

    Bea26 Mar 2025warm energy 4

    A quiet week. 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…

  • Before nine

    Freya26 Mar 2025steady energy 2

    Quickly, before bed. 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…

  • Steady

    Harri26 Mar 2025fine energy 2

    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…

  • An unremarkable week

    Keeley26 Mar 2025fine energy 2

    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. An…

  • Nine minutes

    Moss26 Mar 2025heard energy 1

    Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She…

  • Dreams

    Nuala26 Mar 2025rested energy 4

    Right. 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…

  • Off the floor

    Peggy26 Mar 2025pleased energy 4

    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. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths,…

  • A wedding

    Ruthie26 Mar 2025loved energy 3

    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…

    Tam26 Mar 2025flat 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.…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Tansy26 Mar 2025organised energy 4

    Well then. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared…
