Stayed for the company
Poppywarm energy 1
Quickly, before bed. 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.…
No news
Brodyflat energy 5
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 of other people's…
Steady
Dorafine 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
Duncanflat energy 4
Week in order: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the…
Standing in the kitchen
Florriewired energy 2
Evening. 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…

Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
The question I had been avoiding
Posyheard energy 4
This week: Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her…
A different shape
Katefoggy energy 4
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…
Nothing to report
Kezfine energy 3
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 weeks. No news. The dog is…
No hurry
Samsteady energy 2
Third day after the change is always the worst and I have finally stopped being surprised by it. Knowing it is coming does not make it pleasant, but it does make it…
Steady
Dillyfine energy 2
Evening. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday,…
Standing in the kitchen
Hollywired energy 2
A quiet week. Day one. I am writing this partly because somebody else's day-one entry is the reason I felt able to do it at all, and it seems only fair to leave one…
A wedding
Markwarm energy 5
Quickly, before bed. 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. So I eat…
The first one
Ottolinewired energy 3
A brief account of the week. Nothing has happened yet, which nobody had warned me about. I think I expected to feel something immediately, and instead I made a cup of…

Notes for the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a…
Slept through
Minatired energy 4
The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Peggyheld energy 2
This week: 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 other way round.…
What was underneath
Salmathoughtful energy 1turning point
Sitting down to this properly tonight. The quiet is not the same as peace. It has left a space, and the space has other things in it that I had been keeping the noise…
A plain question
Devsteady energy 2
Recording this for the record. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Got something with protein in before nine…
The bad fortnight
Ollieflat energy 1turning point
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then…
Across the day
Pruesteady energy 4
A brief account of the week. 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…
Flat, whole night
Salmapleased energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without…
Circle tonight
Devwarm energy 5turning point
Notes for the week. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Founding member of the reading group…
