  • An hour on the floor

    Ash4 Dec 2024pleased energy 2

    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. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Bed. It is noon.

  • My mother cooks

    Bertie4 Dec 2024warm energy 4

    Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Brody4 Dec 2024held energy 3

    This week: Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question…

  • Grip

    Duncan4 Dec 2024tired but good energy 3

    Week in order: 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…

  • First dose, done

    Ephraim4 Dec 2024hopeful energy 3

    A brief account of the 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…

  • Quiet

    Esme4 Dec 2024flat energy 4

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then…

  • Two lines a day

    Freya4 Dec 2024organised energy 5

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. Tested…

  • Two sessions

    Harri4 Dec 2024tired but good energy 2

    Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Ives4 Dec 2024brisk energy 2

    This week: 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…

  • Dreams

    Izzy4 Dec 2024tired energy 2

    Right. 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. Waking at four again. Not…

  • Dreams

    Kez4 Dec 2024rested energy 3

    Quickly, before bed. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten…

  • Slept through

    Marnie4 Dec 2024rested energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. 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…

  • The list on the fridge

    Moray4 Dec 2024steady energy 4

    Right. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of…

  • Two sessions

    Solomon4 Dec 2024tired but good energy 4

    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 annoyingly…

  • No mask

    Sorrel4 Dec 2024foggy energy 4

    This 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 written…

  • Two lines a day

    Tulla4 Dec 2024organised energy 5

    Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. Two lines a day in a…

  • Where the pen lives

    Bly3 Dec 2024organised energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…

  • Across the day

    Bunny3 Dec 2024steady energy 5

    Evening. 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…

  • A different shape

    Cass3 Dec 2024foggy energy 5

    Recording this for the record. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again.…

  • Where the pen lives

    Fen3 Dec 2024organised energy 1

    This week: 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 labelled boxes in the freezer…

  • She read the diary

    Gavin3 Dec 2024brisk energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. She reduced…

  • She stopped the room

    Gwenda3 Dec 2024warm energy 2

    This week: Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…

  • Laces

    Keeley3 Dec 2024pleased energy 4

    A quiet week. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Mum needs settling.

  • No news

    Lu3 Dec 2024fine energy 2

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…
