  • Stayed for the company

    Poppy10 Jul 2024warm 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

    Brody10 Jul 2024flat 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

    Dora9 Jul 2024fine 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

    Duncan9 Jul 2024flat 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

    Florrie9 Jul 2024wired 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…

  • No news

    Gus9 Jul 2024flat energy 5

    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

    Posy9 Jul 2024heard 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

    Kate8 Jul 2024foggy 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

    Kez8 Jul 2024fine 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

    Sam8 Jul 2024steady 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

    Dilly7 Jul 2024fine 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

    Holly7 Jul 2024wired 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

    Mark7 Jul 2024warm 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

    Ottoline7 Jul 2024wired 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…

  • I nearly did not write

    Priya7 Jul 2024fine energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • No news

    Lena6 Jul 2024fine energy 4

    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

    Mina6 Jul 2024tired 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

    Peggy6 Jul 2024held 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

    Salma6 Jul 2024thoughtful 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

    Dev5 Jul 2024steady 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

    Ollie5 Jul 2024flat 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

    Prue5 Jul 2024steady 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

    Salma5 Jul 2024pleased 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

    Dev4 Jul 2024warm 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…
