  • Quiet

    Ray8 Sep 2024steady 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. I nearly did not…

  • I nearly did not write

    Gwenda8 Sep 2024fine energy 2

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made…

  • Flat, whole night

    Gwyneth8 Sep 2024quietly delighted energy 2

    Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I…

  • Steady

    Holly8 Sep 2024steady energy 4

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I…

  • She stopped the room

    Priya8 Sep 2024warm energy 3

    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. Somebody new…

  • Protein first

    Ted8 Sep 2024steady energy 3

    This week: Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. I have found five things I can get down…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Poppy7 Sep 2024tired but good energy 2

    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…

  • A plain question

    Bay7 Sep 2024steady energy 5

    A gentle week, mostly. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It is not…

  • An unremarkable week

    Bunny7 Sep 2024fine energy 5

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

  • Fewer, heavier

  • A wedding

    Tam7 Sep 2024warm energy 1

    Week in order: 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 mother cooks

    Lena6 Sep 2024awkward energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Somebody asked what my secret was and I…

  • Paired

    Dev6 Sep 2024held energy 2

    Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing…

  • Both bags, one go

    Fen6 Sep 2024quietly delighted energy 5

    Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since…

  • A ritual now

    Gavin6 Sep 2024relieved energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Delayed by three days because I could not face it, and then felt so bad about the delay that I nearly delayed again out of shame. Said this…

  • No news

    Ned6 Sep 2024fine energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Aye.

  • Two lengths, badly

    Ollie6 Sep 2024grateful energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I…

  • A plain question

    Sam6 Sep 2024steady energy 1

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. I have found five things I can get down when…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Noah5 Sep 2024organised energy 4turning point

    Right. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Injection day drifted three days and he felt like a failure about it. Tested three…

  • Told her

    Poppy5 Sep 2024close energy 4turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. My son asked why I was not eating my dinner. I gave him a bad answer, thought about it all evening, and gave him a better one on…

  • Stayed for the company

    Hattie5 Sep 2024warm energy 1

    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. Somebody new…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Hedda5 Sep 2024grateful energy 3

    Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a…

    Evening. 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 foul, and I…
