  • An hour on the floor

    Maeve3 Feb 2026pleased energy 2

    Right. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Tied my own laces standing up. I am…

  • An unremarkable week

    Tansy3 Feb 2026steady energy 1

    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. Quiet.…

  • An unremarkable week

    Maple2 Feb 2026fine energy 3

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

  • My mother cooks

    Ossian2 Feb 2026loved energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. 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.…

  • I nearly did not write

    Patrick2 Feb 2026steady energy 4

    A quiet 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 thing.…

  • A different shape

    Sadie2 Feb 2026rested energy 2

    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. Repeat study came back…

  • No mask

    Stefan2 Feb 2026foggy energy 3

    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…

  • My mother cooks

    Lucas1 Feb 2026warm 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…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Col1 Feb 2026pleased energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Carried both bags up in…

  • She read the diary

    Kai1 Feb 2026frustrated energy 3

    Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left with a printout I could not read…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Martha1 Feb 2026brisk energy 3

    She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried…

  • Unremarkable

    Nadia1 Feb 2026relieved energy 5

    Week in order: Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. Everything stable. She said…

  • A plain question

    Nix1 Feb 2026steady 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. Protein first,…

  • Both bags, one go

    Saoirse1 Feb 2026grateful energy 2

    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…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Stellan1 Feb 2026organised energy 3

    Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually…

  • An unremarkable week

    Zoë1 Feb 2026fine energy 1

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there…

  • She reduced it

    Aria31 Jan 2026frustrated energy 4

    Week in order: 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…

  • An unremarkable week

    Minnie31 Jan 2026flat energy 1

    This week: 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…

  • Both bags, one go

    Zeb31 Jan 2026quietly delighted energy 4

    Week in order: Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Swam. First time since…

  • Circle tonight

    Gwyneth30 Jan 2026warm energy 1

    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. Went for the…

  • Quiet

    Ronan30 Jan 2026steady energy 2

    This week: Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for the eleventh…

  • Sunday lunch

    Bram28 Jan 2026awkward energy 3

    Well then. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Clover28 Jan 2026tired but good energy 3

    Evening. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is…

  • Paired

    Juno28 Jan 2026held energy 5

    Right. 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…
