Grip
Ronantired 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…
Sunday lunch
Tarnawkward energy 3
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. My mother cooks. That is how…
First dose, done
Zebwired energy 5turning point
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…
Stayed for the company
Annikasteadied energy 5
Short one tonight. 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. Circle tonight.…
The first one
Ashhopeful energy 1
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 leave one behind. What I…
Starters as a main
Brodywarm energy 5
My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem to be solved. A wedding. Three courses…
Sunday night, four lines
Carlheld energy 4
This week: My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines…
A plain question
Duncansteady energy 2
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,…
Paired
Flossieheld energy 4
Evening. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. She had a bad week and I had a…
Eight minutes and a chair
Gigitired but good energy 3
Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Eight…
Steady
Harriflat energy 4
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…
Where the pen lives
Hollyorganised energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in…
Back without making it up
Inêstired but good energy 3
Short one tonight. 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…
No news
Ivesflat 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. Steady. That is the whole entry.…
The pattern of it
Mapleflat energy 1turning point
A rough few days. Not dangerous, just relentlessly unpleasant, the kind of unwell where you cannot read and cannot sleep and cannot settle to anything. Documented…
Quiet
Maryamfine energy 5
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. An unremarkable…
Sunday night, four lines
Nualaheld energy 3
My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before.…
Fewer, heavier

Both bags, one go
Poppygrateful energy 1
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. Carried both bags up in one go.…
Two sessions
Ambrosetired but good energy 4
A brief account of the week. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Grip strength has gone off…
Unpleasant, not dangerous
Boflat energy 5
A quiet week. Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly stupid.…
First dose, done
Clemmiehopeful energy 1turning point
Sitting down to this properly tonight. The pharmacist talked me through it very fast and I nodded at all of it and retained about a third. I have written down the…
A wedding
Fenawkward energy 3
Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank…
