Two lines a day
Tobyorganised energy 1
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. New sharps bin, and a plan…
A different shape
Tullatired energy 3
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 came back…
Anchored to the shifts
Poppyorganised energy 4
Quickly, before bed. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the…
The third day
Hattiewary energy 1
Short one tonight. Stepped up this week. Everyone in circle says the fortnight after a change is the honest one, so I am not drawing any conclusions yet. I have been…
She noticed first
Kezheld energy 5
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the…
She stopped the room
Marniewarm energy 5
Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of…
Steady
Ruthiefine energy 4
A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Next paper Sunday.
Laces
Yannickgrateful energy 4
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. Got down on the floor and back up again…
Granted
Zebtriumphant energy 2turning point
Made a flowchart. I am aware this is a coping mechanism. It also worked. Denied twice before starting. Documented every step. Denied again. Escalating. I am…
What is your secret
Annaawkward energy 2
A brief account of the 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.…
Stayed for the company
Rohanwarm energy 5
Notes for the week. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour.…

Sore and slow
Devsore energy 1
Recording this for the record. 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. Bad week and I…
What is your secret
Dorawarm energy 5
Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon,…
I nearly did not write
Ikefine energy 1
This week: 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…
Before nine
Izzysteady energy 2
Right. 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. Spread it…
I nearly did not write
Keeleysteady 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. An unremarkable week. Ate,…
Off the floor
Larkquietly delighted 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. Tied my own laces standing up. I am…
Steady
Maryamsteady energy 2
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…
Across the day
Peggysteady energy 5
Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do…
Day one
Taviahopeful energy 2
Evening. 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 bits I remember and I will ask…
The first one
Theanervous energy 2turning point
The leaflet is nine pages and about seven of them are worst cases. I have read it three times, which was three times too many, and I am now going to stop reading it.…
The question I had been avoiding
Bayfrustrated energy 4
Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was…
I nearly did not write
Belflat energy 2
Short one tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Better tomorrow, probably.
