  • She reduced it

    Solomon21 Mar 2025frustrated energy 4

    Three things this week. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and…

  • Back without making it up

    Tulla21 Mar 2025tired but good energy 2

    This week: Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is…

  • Slept through

    Lucas20 Mar 2025rested energy 5

    Right. 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 that I lay there…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Rowan20 Mar 2025held energy 4

    This 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. My buddy noticed something in my…

  • She read the diary

    Ammi20 Mar 2025brisk energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left with a…

  • She noticed first

    Bel20 Mar 2025held energy 3

    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 asked me how I was doing on a…

  • Dreams

    Bly20 Mar 2025tired energy 4

    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 rather…

  • Quiet

    Bruno20 Mar 2025flat energy 4

    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.…

  • Two sessions

    Gwyneth20 Mar 2025tired but good energy 4

    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 minutes and a chair. That…

  • Somebody new

    Hattie20 Mar 2025warm energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. 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. Went for…

  • Nothing to report

    Ives20 Mar 2025fine energy 3

    This week: Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Out at four.

  • Two lengths, badly

    Maple20 Mar 2025pleased energy 1

    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 town and back, which I…

  • She read the diary

    Marnie20 Mar 2025frustrated energy 2turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. A menopause…

  • I nearly did not write

    Peggy20 Mar 2025flat energy 3

    This week: 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 thing. An…

  • The list on the fridge

    Ruthie20 Mar 2025steady energy 4

    Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do…

  • Quiet

    Stellan20 Mar 2025fine energy 1

    Notes for the week. 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…

  • No mask

    Sonia20 Mar 2025tired energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • The space it left

    Tansy20 Mar 2025quiet energy 5turning point

    Right. I miss looking forward to dinner. I did not expect to have to write that sentence and I do not know what to do with it. A complicated entry about loving bread…

  • She noticed first

    Tilda20 Mar 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…

  • Steady

    Tinuke20 Mar 2025flat energy 4

    Evening. 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. Quiet. Injection…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Aleks19 Mar 2025organised energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…

  • Sunday lunch

    Annika19 Mar 2025awkward energy 1

    Short one tonight. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Bertie19 Mar 2025tired but good energy 4

    Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I…

  • The pattern of it

    Cato19 Mar 2025sore energy 1

    This week: 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 stopped feeling…
