  • I nearly did not write

    Juniper19 Feb 2025steady energy 1

    Right. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday,…

  • Circle tonight

    Keeley19 Feb 2025warm energy 5

    Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…

  • Paired

    Lil19 Feb 2025held energy 5

    Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed something in my journal…

  • Sunday lunch

    Moss19 Feb 2025warm energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. 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.…

  • No news

    Ned19 Feb 2025fine energy 4

    Short one tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Aye.

  • Protein first

    Norah19 Feb 2025steady energy 4

    Well then. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits…

  • No news

    Nuala19 Feb 2025fine energy 4

    Well then. 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.…

  • Quiet

    Obi19 Feb 2025flat energy 1

    Notes for the week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing…

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Oskar19 Feb 2025sore energy 3turning point

    Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated. Documented…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Saoirse19 Feb 2025grateful energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • Quiet

    Stefan19 Feb 2025flat energy 3

    Steady. That is the whole entry. 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…

  • Stayed for the company

    Tulla19 Feb 2025warm energy 4

    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…

  • Both bags, one go

    Ambrose18 Feb 2025grateful energy 5

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

  • A wedding

    Bodhi18 Feb 2025loved energy 1

    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…

  • A plain question

    Dev18 Feb 2025steady energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Got something with protein in before nine…

  • Cut it short

    Dilly18 Feb 2025hopeful energy 3turning point

    The shower drain. I am not going to dress this up: I stood there this morning and cried about it and then went to work. Regrowth, compared with Winnie's timeline.…

  • Where the pen lives

    Florrie18 Feb 2025organised energy 2

    Evening. 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…

  • She stopped the room

    Gwenda18 Feb 2025warm energy 2

    This week: 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…

  • Two lines a day

    Harlan18 Feb 2025pleased energy 2turning point

    Notes for the week. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Rebuilt his…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Héloïse18 Feb 2025held energy 5

    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…

  • Two lines a day

    Holly18 Feb 2025organised energy 4

    Short one tonight. 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…

  • Frightened

    Ike18 Feb 2025shaken energy 5turning point

    It was not the medication in the end. It was worth finding out that it was not, and I would do the same again tomorrow. A pharmacist caught the error. He wrote the…

  • No news

    Izzy18 Feb 2025flat energy 1

    Right. 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 theory that…

    Marit18 Feb 2025flat 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. Bike tomorrow.
