  • Quiet

    Maple4 Mar 2025steady energy 5

    A gentle week, mostly. 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.…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Nix4 Mar 2025held energy 4

    My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and…

  • Not writing about this would be dishonest

    Ozzy4 Mar 2025flat energy 1turning point

    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 like…

  • Laces

    Petua4 Mar 2025grateful energy 5

    Short one tonight. 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 four…

  • A rough few days

    Romy4 Mar 2025sore energy 3turning point

    Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly stupid. Mild. Sore at…

  • From the bottom

    Sadie4 Mar 2025nervous energy 1turning 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 when a shift pattern changed.…

  • Awake at four

    Tavia4 Mar 2025tired energy 2

    Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Wystan4 Mar 2025tired but good energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Came back after a bad fortnight…

  • Protein first

    Abel3 Mar 2025steady energy 5

    A brief account of 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…

  • Protein first

    Dot3 Mar 2025steady energy 1

    Well then. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it…

  • Quiet

    Fen3 Mar 2025steady energy 2

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Flat again. Good.

  • An unremarkable week

    Marnie3 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. Nothing to report.…

  • What is your secret

    Nuala3 Mar 2025loved energy 3

    Well then. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem to be solved. Somebody asked…

  • My mother cooks

    Pippa3 Mar 2025warm energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem…

  • Awake at four

    Ravi3 Mar 2025tired energy 5

    Notes for the 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…

  • Nothing to report

    Saoirse3 Mar 2025flat energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. 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.…

  • Steady

    Sam3 Mar 2025fine energy 5

    Notes for the 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…

  • Flat, whole night

    Thea3 Mar 2025grateful energy 1

    A brief account of the week. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Up the stairs at work twice without…

  • Protein first

    Ambrose2 Mar 2025steady energy 1

    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…

  • A plain question

    Aria2 Mar 2025steady energy 1

    Three things this week. 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…

  • She noticed first

    Bly2 Mar 2025held energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Bodhi2 Mar 2025steady energy 4

    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 answer. Got something with…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Nell2 Mar 2025organised energy 1

    Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. New sharps bin, and a…

  • Quiet

    Bunny2 Mar 2025steady 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.…
