  • Circle tonight

    Freya14 Nov 2024warm energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified,…

  • Steady

    Gavin14 Nov 2024flat energy 5

    A quiet week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Cheers.

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Gwenda14 Nov 2024sore energy 4turning point

    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. A rough month. The nausea has a…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Lark14 Nov 2024held energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • Back without making it up

    Odile14 Nov 2024tired but good energy 3

    Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Two sessions this week, both short, both done.…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Rin14 Nov 2024quietly delighted energy 1

    Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted.…

  • First dose, done

    Oskar14 Nov 2024wired energy 4turning point

    Notes for the 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…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Peggy14 Nov 2024brisk energy 4

    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 my other…

  • Slept through

    Solomon14 Nov 2024foggy energy 3

    Three things this week. 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. Repeat study…

  • Both bags, one go

    Wystan14 Nov 2024pleased energy 3

    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. That was the…

  • Paired

    Rowan13 Nov 2024held energy 1

    My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be…

  • Circle tonight

    Bly13 Nov 2024warm 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. Went for the…

  • Walking

    Nell13 Nov 2024tired but good energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. 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 and…

  • She noticed first

    Col13 Nov 2024held energy 3

    She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I…

  • An unremarkable week

    Dilly13 Nov 2024flat energy 2

    Evening. 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…

  • She noticed first

    Esme13 Nov 2024held energy 3

    She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Gwyneth13 Nov 2024tired but good energy 2

    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…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Kez13 Nov 2024organised energy 2

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…

  • Nothing to report

    Lil13 Nov 2024fine energy 2

    Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Off to ring Lu.

  • An hour on the floor

    Patrick13 Nov 2024quietly delighted energy 2turning point

    A quiet week. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Walked the Great Southern Trail at the weekend for a month. Up the…

  • My mother cooks

    Pam13 Nov 2024loved 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. Starters as a main…

  • No mask

    Posy13 Nov 2024foggy energy 1

    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 shake off. Two…

  • An unremarkable week

    Salma13 Nov 2024flat 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. Nothing to report. Writing it…

  • Paired

    Sonia13 Nov 2024held energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…
