  • Unremarkable

    Duncan19 Jan 2025pleased energy 3turning point

    Three things this week. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. A1c down. He was pleased and hid it. Iron and…

  • Stayed for the company

    Flossie19 Jan 2025warm energy 1

    Evening. 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. The facilitator stopped…

  • The list on the fridge

    Gilly19 Jan 2025steady energy 1

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across the day instead of trying to…

  • No mask

    Gwenda19 Jan 2025rested 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…

  • An unremarkable week

    Martha19 Jan 2025steady energy 2

    A brief account of the week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Mo19 Jan 2025frustrated energy 2

    Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Nine minutes. I took three written questions…

  • Stayed for the company

    Ned19 Jan 2025warm energy 4

    Short one tonight. 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. The facilitator…

  • Awake at four

    Nix19 Jan 2025rested energy 1

    Recording this for the record. 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…

  • She stopped the room

    Pippa19 Jan 2025warm energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight,…

  • Iron and B12

    Ravi19 Jan 2025pleased energy 1

    Notes for the week. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather…

  • I nearly did not write

    Sorrel19 Jan 2025steady energy 5

    This week: Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is…

  • Slept through

    Tarn19 Jan 2025tired energy 1

    This week: Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. Vivid dreams, every…

  • Nothing to report

    Tulla19 Jan 2025flat energy 2

    This week: 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…

  • Stayed for the company

    Noah18 Jan 2025steadied energy 4turning point

    Right. 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. Kiki's 07:30…

  • I nearly did not write

    Ash18 Jan 2025steady energy 3

    Well then. 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. No…

  • Circle tonight

    Duncan18 Jan 2025warm energy 2

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

  • Both bags, one go

    Ephraim18 Jan 2025pleased energy 3

    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. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Swam. First…

  • A wedding

    Hattie18 Jan 2025awkward energy 4

    A quiet week. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly,…

  • Protein first

    Héloïse18 Jan 2025steady energy 2

    A brief account of the week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a…

  • I nearly did not write

    Marnie18 Jan 2025flat energy 5

    A quiet 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…

  • A locum

    Odile18 Jan 2025heard energy 4

    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. Took the diary in. She read it properly,…

  • Awake at four

    Pam18 Jan 2025tired 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.…

    Posy18 Jan 2025pleased energy 2
