  • Into town and back

    Inês21 Dec 2025quietly delighted energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. 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 do not care.…

  • No news

    Romy21 Dec 2025flat energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday,…

  • I nearly did not write

    Stefan21 Dec 2025flat energy 5

    Notes for the week. 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. Quiet.…

  • She noticed first

    Tobias21 Dec 2025held energy 3

    Recording this for the record. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. Nobody has ever…

  • I nearly did not write

    Zoë21 Dec 2025fine energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. 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.…

  • Steady

    Bea20 Dec 2025steady energy 1

    A quiet week. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Gwyneth20 Dec 2025held energy 1

    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. That is the…

  • Before nine

    Jonty20 Dec 2025steady energy 4

    A brief account of the week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. I have found five things I can get down…

  • Into town and back

    Linnet20 Dec 2025grateful energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Full shift…

  • No news

    Petua20 Dec 2025fine energy 3

    A quiet week. 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…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Saoirse20 Dec 2025tired but good energy 4

    Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two…

  • Flat, whole night

    Bodhi19 Dec 2025pleased energy 1turning point

    A gentle week, mostly. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Held a class of thirty without flagging. Slept flat.…

  • Into town and back

    Izzy19 Dec 2025quietly delighted energy 1turning point

    Right. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Walked to work rather than taking the bus, for a month. Slept flat. Whole…

  • Slept through

    Minnie19 Dec 2025rested energy 2

    Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the…

  • A wedding

    Nadia19 Dec 2025warm energy 3

    Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can,…

  • Dreams

    Nix19 Dec 2025tired energy 1

    Recording this for the record. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find…

  • She stopped the room

    Nuala19 Dec 2025warm 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…

  • Awake at four

    Bex18 Dec 2025tired energy 4

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams, every…

  • Three years side by side

    Clemmie18 Dec 2025pleased energy 4turning point

    A gentle week, mostly. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Androgens improved, acne better, which she…

  • Iron and B12

    Soraya18 Dec 2025pleased energy 1turning point

    Short one tonight. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Improved. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Yannick18 Dec 2025tired but good energy 1

    Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost…

  • She stopped the room

    Bridie17 Dec 2025warm energy 4

    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 were talking at…
