I have started
Tobiasnervous energy 1turning point
Recording this for the record. I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. A first…
Anchored to the shifts
Winnieorganised energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Tested three…
The list on the fridge
Gigisteady energy 5
Evening. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across the day instead of…
Nothing to report
Kezsteady energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down…
Grip
Lutired but good energy 5
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. Grip strength has gone off and I…
Flat, whole night
Marniepleased energy 3
Short one tonight. 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…
A different shape
Maryamrested energy 3
Notes for the week. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and…
Circle tonight
Nanwarm energy 2
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. Circle tonight.…
Quiet
Norahflat energy 4
Right. 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…
Somebody new
Salmawarm energy 3
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…
What is your secret
Samawkward energy 3
Notes for the week. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently. No…
She stopped the room
Birdiewarm energy 1
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…
No news
Dillyflat 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. An unremarkable…
The question I had been avoiding
Gavinbrisk energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. She reduced…
No news
Gusfine energy 2
Steady. That is the whole entry. 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.…
Steady
Heddafine energy 3
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 have taken…
A new bin and a plan
Ozzyorganised energy 1
Right. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Anchored injection day to my…
Not writing about this would be dishonest
Patricksore energy 3turning point
A quiet week. 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. A…
She read the diary
Posyheard 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. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which…
I nearly did not write
Pruefine energy 4
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…
Both bags, one go
Priyapleased energy 5
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
Sunday lunch
Tobyawkward energy 1
Quickly, before bed. 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…
A new bin and a plan
Vivorganised energy 4
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. Two lines a day…
Starters as a main
Lenaawkward energy 4
Notes for the week. 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…
