  • I nearly did not write

    Marit17 Dec 2025steady energy 2

    This week: Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Bike tomorrow.

  • A1c down

    Stellan17 Dec 2025pleased energy 5

    Recording this for the record. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The…

  • An hour on the floor

    Matt16 Dec 2025grateful energy 2

    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 started, and I…

  • Nothing to report

    Abel16 Dec 2025steady energy 2

    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. I nearly did not write this week…

  • Quiet

    Bel16 Dec 2025steady energy 2

    Short one tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Better tomorrow, probably.

  • I nearly did not write

    Bram16 Dec 2025steady energy 5

    Well then. 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.…

  • The list on the fridge

    Col16 Dec 2025steady energy 4

    Quickly, before bed. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and…

  • She noticed first

    Huw16 Dec 2025held energy 2

    Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing…

  • Awake at four

    Nan16 Dec 2025foggy energy 2

    This week: 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…

  • Grip

    Ronan16 Dec 2025tired but good energy 2

    This week: Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Came back after a bad fortnight…

  • Protein first

    Soraya16 Dec 2025steady energy 5

    A quiet week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question…

  • Protein first

    Viv16 Dec 2025steady energy 3

    Well then. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I own. Greek…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Wystan16 Dec 2025steady energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals…

  • Pausing

    Zeb16 Dec 2025clear-eyed energy 5turning point

    Week in order: Did the arithmetic out loud, on the page, no rounding. It is a lot. Seeing it written down was steadying rather than frightening, which I had not…

  • Across the day

    Hannah15 Dec 2025steady energy 1

    Short one tonight. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Was undereating without…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Maeve15 Dec 2025held energy 2

    Right. 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. My buddy noticed something in my journal…

  • Both bags, one go

    Martha15 Dec 2025pleased energy 2

    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. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths,…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Tavia15 Dec 2025held energy 3

    My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Ted15 Dec 2025organised energy 2

    This week: 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. Small…

  • Back without making it up

    Tilda15 Dec 2025tired but good energy 2

    Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped…

  • No mask

    Winnie15 Dec 2025tired energy 5

    A gentle week, mostly. 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. Vivid dreams,…

  • Starters as a main

    Lucas14 Dec 2025warm energy 3

    Right. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of…

  • Sunday lunch

    Rohan14 Dec 2025awkward energy 3

    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…
