  • A wedding

    Keeley13 Mar 2025loved energy 3

    A quiet week. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working…

  • I nearly did not write

    Lark13 Mar 2025fine energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • An unremarkable week

    Linnet13 Mar 2025steady energy 1

    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 not write this week…

  • What was underneath

    Maple13 Mar 2025thoughtful energy 5turning point

    Went past the shop I always go into and simply did not go in. Not resisted. Did not occur to me. I stood outside for a moment afterwards trying to work out what had…

  • Awake at four

    Norah13 Mar 2025tired energy 2

    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…

  • Awake at four

    Obi13 Mar 2025foggy energy 3

    Recording this for the record. 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…

  • An unremarkable week

    Ossian13 Mar 2025steady energy 1

    A quiet week. 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.…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Ottoline13 Mar 2025brisk energy 1

    A brief account of the 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. Asked the…

  • No news

    Petua13 Mar 2025fine energy 4

    Short one tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the…

  • She stopped the room

    Pippa13 Mar 2025warm energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. 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 whole…

  • A plain question

    Sam13 Mar 2025practical energy 3

    Notes for the week. 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.…

  • Nine minutes

    Sonia13 Mar 2025brisk energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered.…

  • Quiet

    Tobias13 Mar 2025flat energy 5

    Recording this for the record. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Rohan12 Mar 2025steady energy 4

    Notes for the week. 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…

  • No news

    Bertie12 Mar 2025flat energy 1

    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…

  • Off the floor

    Birdie12 Mar 2025pleased energy 5turning point

    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 to Botany Bay and back.…

  • I nearly did not write

    Flossie12 Mar 2025steady energy 4

    Evening. 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…

  • Slept through

    Ives12 Mar 2025foggy energy 2

    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 anything written…

  • Nothing to report

    Juniper12 Mar 2025flat energy 3

    Right. 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…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Mark12 Mar 2025held energy 4

    Quickly, before bed. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever asked…

  • She reduced it

    Nolan12 Mar 2025frustrated energy 4

    Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. A locum who had clearly read nothing.…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Peggy12 Mar 2025organised energy 3

    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 three cool bags against a…

  • She read the diary

    Salma12 Mar 2025brisk energy 1

    Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice…
