  • Paired

    Gavin1 Feb 2025held energy 5

    Late, and writing anyway. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…

  • Slept through

    Gigi1 Feb 2025rested energy 1

    Evening. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much…

  • Quiet

    Jonty1 Feb 2025steady energy 3

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the…

  • Across the day

    Nadia1 Feb 2025steady energy 4

    Three things this week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It is not…

  • The list on the fridge

    Nolan1 Feb 2025steady energy 2

    This week: Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Was undereating without realising.…

  • Nine minutes

    Oskar1 Feb 2025heard energy 4

    Notes for the week. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Nine minutes. I took three written…

  • Stayed for the company

    Sadie1 Feb 2025warm energy 1

    Quickly, before bed. 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.…

  • Awake at four

    Ted1 Feb 2025rested energy 1

    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 it.…

  • What is your secret

    Tulla1 Feb 2025loved energy 3

    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. Starters as a main…

  • A wedding

    Wilf1 Feb 2025warm energy 2

    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. Somebody asked what my secret…

  • Sunday lunch

    Anna31 Jan 2025loved energy 2

    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. Somebody asked what my secret…

  • I have started

    Ammi31 Jan 2025hopeful energy 1

    I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. Day one. I am writing this partly because…

  • She noticed first

    Ashwin31 Jan 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. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five…

  • An unremarkable week

    Bodhi31 Jan 2025fine energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • I have started

    Espe31 Jan 2025nervous energy 4turning point

    Evening. So. First one done. I had been carrying the box around the house for four days like it was something I had borrowed and needed to give back, and in the end I…

  • Propped up on pillows

    Juno31 Jan 2025flat energy 5

    The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life. Very tired. Not the kind of…

  • She stopped the room

    Rin31 Jan 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. Went for the practical answers and…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Pippa31 Jan 2025tired but good energy 2

    Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that…

  • She stopped the room

    Posy31 Jan 2025warm energy 5

    Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at…

  • Nine minutes

    Romy31 Jan 2025frustrated energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. She…

  • Across the day

    Sorrel31 Jan 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. I have found five things I can get down when…

  • Walking

    Thea31 Jan 2025tired but good energy 5

    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…

  • Quiet

    Poppy30 Jan 2025flat energy 4

    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. Quiet. Injection…

  • Into town and back

    Bertie30 Jan 2025grateful energy 3

    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. Sat on the floor and played for an…
