  • The routine came apart

    Bel13 Feb 2025low energy 5turning point

    A quiet week. A hard week. I asked for help later than I should have and I am writing that down so I recognise it faster next time. A difficult February. Asked for…

  • Beginning, badly

    Espe13 Feb 2025wired energy 5

    Evening. I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. So. First one done. I had been…

  • An unremarkable week

    Flossie13 Feb 2025fine 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…

  • Unremarkable

    Gus13 Feb 2025relieved energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which…

  • I nearly did not write

    Mo13 Feb 2025steady energy 1

    Week in order: 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…

  • Stayed for the company

    Peggy13 Feb 2025warm energy 3

    Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…

  • Sunday lunch

    Sonia13 Feb 2025loved energy 2

    Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people…

  • Nine minutes

    Tulla13 Feb 2025brisk energy 3

    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. Left with a printout I could not read and no…

  • Stayed for the company

    Ray12 Feb 2025warm energy 3

    Right. 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…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Gwenda12 Feb 2025heard energy 1

    Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Nine minutes. I took three written…

  • Across the day

    Ike12 Feb 2025steady energy 1

    This week: Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Got something with protein in…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Kez12 Feb 2025frustrated energy 5

    She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it…

  • Laces

    Lu12 Feb 2025quietly delighted energy 1

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it…

  • Nothing to report

    Ravi12 Feb 2025flat energy 3

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken…

  • Starters as a main

    Poppy11 Feb 2025warm energy 4

    Quickly, before bed. 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. Starters…

  • No mask

    Bex11 Feb 2025foggy energy 5

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams, every…

  • Somebody new

    Bruno11 Feb 2025warm energy 1

    Evening. 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 hour. Somebody…

  • Sunday lunch

    Ephraim11 Feb 2025warm energy 5

    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. Sunday lunch at my…
