  • A different shape

    Ossian4 Jan 2026foggy energy 2

    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 and the…

  • Three years side by side

    Pam4 Jan 2026relieved energy 4

    A brief account of the week. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The…

  • No news

    Aria3 Jan 2026steady energy 4

    Week in order: 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.…

  • Two lines a day

    Ozzy3 Jan 2026organised energy 2

    Right. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. New sharps bin,…

  • Circle tonight

    Sadie3 Jan 2026warm energy 2

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

  • Paired

    Saoirse3 Jan 2026held energy 5

    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…

  • Where the pen lives

    Tavia3 Jan 2026organised energy 1

    New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a…

  • Grip

    Dilly2 Jan 2026tired but good energy 4

    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. Eight minutes and a chair. That…

  • Nothing to report

    Ephraim2 Jan 2026flat energy 1

    A brief account of the week. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other people's boring…

  • Somebody new

    Nan2 Jan 2026warm energy 1

    This week: 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…

  • An hour on the floor

    Nix2 Jan 2026quietly delighted energy 1

    Notes for the week. 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…

  • Walking

    Wilf2 Jan 2026tired but good energy 4

    Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two…

  • She stopped the room

    Bram1 Jan 2026warm energy 4

    Well then. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…

  • Walking

    Bridie1 Jan 2026tired but good energy 3

    This week: Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier,…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Nuala1 Jan 2026held energy 2

    Well then. 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,…

  • Stayed for the company

    Obi1 Jan 2026warm energy 5

    Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…

  • My mother cooks

    Stellan1 Jan 2026awkward energy 2

    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. Sunday lunch at my…

  • She noticed first

    Col31 Dec 2025held energy 4

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…

  • Before nine

    Gwen31 Dec 2025steady energy 2

    This week: Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the…

  • Both bags, one go

    Hannah31 Dec 2025pleased energy 2

    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. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not…

  • Steady

    Mark31 Dec 2025steady energy 2

    Quickly, before bed. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been…

  • Quiet

    Martha31 Dec 2025fine energy 5

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my…

  • Where the pen lives

    Oskar31 Dec 2025organised energy 2

    Recording this for the record. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…

  • Sunday lunch

    Patrick31 Dec 2025loved 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…
