She read the diary
Zebfrustrated 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. Took the diary in. She…
Nothing to report
Aleksfine energy 1
Short one tonight. 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.…
Two sessions
Botired but good energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. 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,…
Steady
Clemmieflat energy 2
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
She reduced it
Dillybrisk energy 2
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…
Two lines a day
Duncanorganised energy 4
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…
The list on the fridge
Ephraimsteady energy 4
A brief account of the week. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I…
Two sessions
Ivestired but good energy 3
Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Two sessions this week, both short, both done.…
Six labelled boxes
Mapleorganised energy 5
Sitting down to this properly tonight. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six…
Two lengths, badly
Marthapleased energy 3turning point
Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Got up from the floor unaided for the first time in four years. Slept flat.…
Into town and back
Nangrateful energy 2
This week: Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second…
Hiding the box
Nualaprickly energy 1
Hid the box for two months. Not sure who from, exactly, in a house this size. My sister started too, three weeks after me. We compare notes badly and lovingly. A…
Slept through
Peggytired energy 1
The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so…
No mask
Ravifoggy energy 2
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…
Back without making it up
Solomontired but good energy 1
Week in order: Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Walked instead of…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Tobyorganised energy 3turning point
Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Built a five-meal rotation the whole family will eat. New…
A rough few days
Lucassore energy 2turning point
Well then. Constipation, which I have avoided writing about for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. It is the thing making me most miserable and I have said nothing…
Across the day
Minasteady energy 2
Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Was undereating without realising. The nurse…

Day one
Ariawired energy 4
Three things this week. Day one. I am writing this partly because somebody else's day-one entry is the reason I felt able to do it at all, and it seems only fair to…
No news
Baysteady energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it…
Sunday night, four lines
Blyheld energy 5
A quiet week. 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…

A different shape
Gavintired energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and…
