  • Not only hair

    Dilly8 Oct 2024upset energy 2turning point

    The shower drain. I am not going to dress this up: I stood there this morning and cried about it and then went to work. Shedding at month four. Regrowth at the front.…

  • Sunday lunch

    Gigi8 Oct 2024loved energy 3

    Evening. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still…

  • Two sessions

    Hedda8 Oct 2024tired but good energy 5turning point

    Recording this for the record. 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.…

  • No mask

    Ives8 Oct 2024tired energy 5

    This week: 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 written…

  • Nothing to report

    Norah8 Oct 2024steady energy 1

    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…

  • Propped up on pillows

    Pam8 Oct 2024rough energy 4turning point

    Bad week and I am writing it down anyway, because a journal that only contains the good weeks would be a lie and no use to anybody reading it later. Documented in…

  • Circle tonight

    Salma8 Oct 2024warm energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly 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…

  • Nothing to report

    Mina7 Oct 2024fine energy 2

    Short one tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Until Monday.

  • Nothing to report

    Ambrose7 Oct 2024fine energy 4

    Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the…

  • Steady

    Bay7 Oct 2024steady energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. Steady. That is the whole entry. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Bo7 Oct 2024grateful energy 3

    Short one tonight. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly,…

  • Laces

    Dev7 Oct 2024quietly delighted energy 5

    Recording this for the record. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and…

  • Off the floor

    Dora7 Oct 2024pleased energy 5

    Week in order: Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Got down on…

  • A rough few days

    Fen7 Oct 2024sore energy 1turning point

    This week: The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it stopped feeling…

  • Somebody new

    Florrie7 Oct 2024warm energy 2

    Evening. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for…

  • Where the pen lives

    Gwenda7 Oct 2024organised energy 4

    This week: 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 a fridge shared…

  • Starters as a main

    Hedda7 Oct 2024loved energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it.…

  • A plain question

    Maryam7 Oct 2024steady energy 3

    Notes for the week. 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…

  • Stayed for the company

    Moss7 Oct 2024warm energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It…

  • No news

    Nan7 Oct 2024steady energy 3

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. Ta ra.

  • An hour on the floor

    Ollie7 Oct 2024quietly delighted energy 5turning point

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • The list on the fridge

    Ruthie7 Oct 2024steady energy 2

    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…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Bertie6 Oct 2024grateful energy 5

    A brief account of the week. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years…

  • Flat, whole night

    Birdie6 Oct 2024grateful energy 4

    Evening. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Sea air.
