Wrote it on the milestones page
Beadelighted energy 3turning point
Late, and writing anyway. Wrote it in the milestones page as well, which I would have found embarrassing a year ago. Cycle regular for the first time in her adult…
The first one
Bodhihopeful energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
She reduced it
Brodyfrustrated energy 4
This week: 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…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Devheld energy 1
Notes for the 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. Nobody has ever asked…
Dreams
Duncanfoggy energy 5
Three things this week. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved.…
A wedding
Florrieloved energy 5
Evening. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still…
I nearly did not write
Rayfine energy 5
Well then. 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. Quiet.…
Quiet
Junipersteady energy 3
Well then. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have…
Back without making it up
Keeleytired but good energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Kept the two sessions…
My mother cooks
Nettieawkward energy 2
This week: 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…
Sore and slow
Odileflat energy 5
A brief account of the week. Sore at the injection site for about ten days, a small firm lump under the skin. The pharmacist looked at it, was unbothered, and told me…
Anchored to the shifts
Tamorganised energy 2
Week in order: Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Tested three cool bags…

Tildafine energy 4
Three things this 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…

Beginning, badly
Aleksnervous energy 3turning point
A quiet week. I want to write this down before I forget how frightened I was, because I suspect in three months I will not believe it. Twenty minutes of standing…
I have started
Ariawired energy 5turning point
Three things this week. What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that. Started before a long-haul…
An unremarkable week
Bertiefine energy 3
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 running. I nearly did not write this week…
Both bags, one go
Blygrateful energy 5
Short one tonight. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about…
An hour on the floor
Gavingrateful energy 5
Short one tonight. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up.…
Grip
Gwentired but good energy 3
This week: 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. Two sessions this…

How are you doing on a Wednesday
Heddaheld energy 5
Recording this for the record. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it…
A locum
Huwfrustrated energy 2
This week: 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…
