  • An unremarkable week

    Soraya20 Jan 2026flat energy 5

    Late, and writing anyway. 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

    Lucas19 Jan 2026fine energy 3

    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. An…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Nan19 Jan 2026held energy 3

    This week: 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 has quietly become the…

  • No news

    Zeb19 Jan 2026flat energy 3

    Week in order: 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. Nothing to…

  • Nine minutes

    Gil18 Jan 2026brisk energy 3

    Notes for the week. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left with a…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Gwyneth18 Jan 2026tired but good energy 4

    This week: Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying…

  • Somebody new

    Inês18 Jan 2026warm energy 5

    Short one tonight. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when…

  • No news

    Kai18 Jan 2026fine energy 1

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a…

  • Off the floor

    Mark18 Jan 2026quietly delighted energy 3

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check.…

  • Slept through

    Saoirse18 Jan 2026rested energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and the…

  • Iron and B12

    Solomon18 Jan 2026pleased energy 2turning point

    Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. All stable. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a…

  • Awake at four

    Tilda18 Jan 2026foggy energy 3

    Three things this week. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Wilf18 Jan 2026quietly delighted energy 3

    This week: Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the…

  • I nearly did not write

    Nell17 Jan 2026flat energy 5

    A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a…

  • No project

    Fen17 Jan 2026settled energy 2turning point

    The strange part is not having a project any more. I had not understood how much I was enjoying having one. Steady, short entries, no drama. Two years. My only news…

  • A calculator and a cup of tea

    Oskar17 Jan 2026clear-eyed energy 1turning point

    Recording this for the record. Pausing for two months. Not a failure, not a moral event, just a month where the money is not there. A price change and a long analysis…

  • Steady

    Sadie17 Jan 2026flat energy 4

    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. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…

  • A locum

    Stellan17 Jan 2026brisk energy 5

    Recording this for the record. 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. Nine minutes.…

  • Sunday lunch

    Aria16 Jan 2026loved energy 3

    Three things this week. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. Sunday…

  • Steady

    Bodhi16 Jan 2026steady energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the…

  • Pausing

    Col16 Jan 2026pinched energy 2

    Quickly, before bed. Did the arithmetic out loud, on the page, no rounding. It is a lot. Seeing it written down was steadying rather than frightening, which I had not…

  • An unremarkable week

    Martha16 Jan 2026flat energy 1

    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…

  • Stayed for the company

    Nix16 Jan 2026warm energy 5

    Notes for the week. 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. Went for the…

  • Before nine

    Patrick16 Jan 2026steady energy 5

    A quiet week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain…
