  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Bodhi29 Oct 2025held energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each,…

  • I nearly did not write

    Oskar29 Oct 2025steady energy 4

    Notes for the week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory…

  • The list on the fridge

    Tilda29 Oct 2025steady energy 1

    Three things this week. 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.…

  • An unremarkable week

    Wystan29 Oct 2025flat energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory…

  • Stayed for the company

    Ephraim28 Oct 2025warm energy 5

    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. Went for the…

  • No news

    Kai28 Oct 2025fine energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. 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.…

  • Nothing to report

    Nadia28 Oct 2025fine energy 5

    Week in order: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul,…

  • She stopped the room

    Sadie28 Oct 2025warm energy 4

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour,…

  • The list on the fridge

    Tinuke28 Oct 2025steady energy 1

    Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got…

  • No news

    Yannick28 Oct 2025steady energy 5

    Notes for the week. 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. An…

  • Starters as a main

    Abel27 Oct 2025warm energy 2

    A brief account of 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…

  • Protein first

    Ash27 Oct 2025steady energy 2

    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. Protein…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Huw27 Oct 2025heard energy 3

    This week: A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. Took the diary in. She read it…

  • Two lines a day

    Linnet27 Oct 2025organised energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Batch cooked…

  • Come back in a year

    Nolan27 Oct 2025relieved energy 2

    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 difference in a fortnight was…

  • Quiet

    Nuala27 Oct 2025steady energy 2

    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. No…

  • She stopped the room

    Prue27 Oct 2025warm energy 4

    A brief account of the week. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour,…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Tavia27 Oct 2025steady energy 5

    Evening. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits…

  • My mother cooks

    Espe26 Oct 2025awkward energy 1

    Evening. 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 what I can,…

  • Flat, whole night

    Maeve26 Oct 2025quietly delighted energy 5

    Right. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Slept flat. Whole night.…

  • Steady

    Marit26 Oct 2025fine energy 1

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken…

  • A plain question

    Ossian26 Oct 2025steady energy 1

    A quiet week. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. I have found five things I can get…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Pam26 Oct 2025steady energy 3

    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. Got something with…

  • Before nine

    Ronan26 Oct 2025steady energy 4

    Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I…
