An unremarkable week
Beafine energy 3
A quiet week. 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…
Into town and back
Doraquietly delighted energy 3
Week in order: Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Got down on…
An unremarkable week
Prueflat energy 2
A brief account of the week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…
Back down a step
Sambraced energy 1turning point
I have been at the same step for five months and every clinician I meet seems mildly surprised. It is working. I am not moving. Three weeks per step instead of four,…
Standing in the kitchen
Dillyhopeful energy 2turning point
So. First one done. I had been carrying the box around the house for four days like it was something I had borrowed and needed to give back, and in the end I did it…
Before nine
Katesteady energy 2
Right. 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 own answer. I have…
Protein first
Duncansteady energy 2
Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Got something with protein in before nine this…
The first one
Florrienervous energy 3turning point
The pharmacist talked me through it very fast and I nodded at all of it and retained about a third. I have written down the bits I remember and I will ask again at…
Quiet
Maryamfine 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…
Beginning, badly
Peggywired energy 2
This week: 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…
Standing in the kitchen
Minanervous energy 1turning point
Short one tonight. What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that. A calm first entry that reads like a…
She read the diary
Florriebrisk energy 3
Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be…
I have started
Gushopeful energy 4turning point
A gentle week, mostly. 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 entry…
No news
Markflat energy 5
Quickly, before bed. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The…
She stopped the room
Samwarm energy 3
Notes for the week. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us…
The first one
Olliewired energy 4
Sitting down to this properly tonight. I want to write this down before I forget how frightened I was, because I suspect in three months I will not believe it. Twenty…
First dose, done

A brief account of the week. The pharmacist talked me through it very fast and I nodded at all of it and retained about a third. I have written down the bits I…
Sunday lunch
Doraloved energy 5
Week in order: Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate,…
An unremarkable week
Lenafine energy 2
Recording this for the record. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Minaheld energy 1
Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it.…
I have started
Poppywired energy 4
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 reading it.…
Where the pen lives
Kateorganised energy 4
Well then. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that…

She stopped the room
Priyawarm energy 4
A gentle week, mostly. 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…
