  • A rough few days

    Bay17 Nov 2024sore energy 3turning point

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Sore at the injection site for about ten days, a small firm lump under the skin. The pharmacist looked at it, was unbothered,…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Cass17 Nov 2024tired but good energy 4

    Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for…

  • Back without making it up

    Gwenda17 Nov 2024tired but good energy 3

    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…

  • An hour on the floor

    Hannah17 Nov 2024quietly delighted energy 1turning point

    A quiet week. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Walked up the school stairs twice without stopping and cried in the stationery cupboard. Sat…

  • A plain question

    Harlan17 Nov 2024steady energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The…

  • Across the day

    Ike17 Nov 2024steady energy 1

    Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer. Greek yoghurt,…

  • The two hours before

    Jonty17 Nov 2024relieved energy 1turning point

    A brief account of the week. Delayed by three days because I could not face it, and then felt so bad about the delay that I nearly delayed again out of shame. Said…

  • I told her

    Juno17 Nov 2024low energy 4turning point

    Well then. A hard week. I asked for help later than I should have and I am writing that down so I recognise it faster next time. Anxiety about the medication itself…

  • Not writing about this would be dishonest

    Lil17 Nov 2024rough energy 4turning point

    Evening. Very tired. Not the kind of tired a nap fixes. I slept nine hours and woke feeling as though I had been awake all night. Very different experience from Lu,…

  • An unremarkable week

    Lu17 Nov 2024fine energy 4

    Quickly, before bed. 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…

  • Protein first

    Ruthie17 Nov 2024steady energy 3

    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 question…

  • An unremarkable week

    Yannick17 Nov 2024flat energy 3

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…

  • An unremarkable week

    Lena16 Nov 2024flat energy 5

    Recording this for the record. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…

  • Grip

    Bay16 Nov 2024tired but good energy 3

    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…

  • A locum

    Dora16 Nov 2024heard energy 3

    Three things 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. She reduced one of…

  • Across the day

    Dot16 Nov 2024steady energy 4

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. I have found five things I can get down when…

  • Awake at four

    Kai16 Nov 2024tired energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • Awake at four

    Kez16 Nov 2024foggy energy 5turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Could not separate the medication from the two jobs.…

  • Nothing to report

    Marnie16 Nov 2024flat energy 3

    A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…

  • Steady

    Moray16 Nov 2024flat 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. I…

  • Propped up on pillows

    Ned16 Nov 2024sore energy 2

    A quiet week. The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life. Reflux again. I…

  • Quiet

    Norah16 Nov 2024steady energy 1

    Right. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false…

  • Flat, whole night

    Pippa16 Nov 2024pleased energy 1

    Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and…

  • Somebody new

    Ravi16 Nov 2024warm energy 4

    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…
