  • Quiet

    Wilf26 Oct 2025flat energy 4

    This week: Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is…

  • No news

    Bel25 Oct 2025flat energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Better tomorrow,…

  • Nine minutes

    Carl25 Oct 2025frustrated energy 4

    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 nearly did not write

    Col25 Oct 2025steady energy 3

    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 theory that a…

  • Come back in a year

    Gwen25 Oct 2025relieved energy 2turning point

    This week: Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Fine. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and…

  • I nearly did not write

    Inês25 Oct 2025flat energy 4

    A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have…

  • She reduced it

    Ives25 Oct 2025brisk energy 4

    This week: Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Nine minutes. I took three written…

  • No mask

    Nan25 Oct 2025foggy energy 5

    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…

  • Flat, whole night

    Nix25 Oct 2025pleased energy 3

    Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at…

  • My mother cooks

    Tarn25 Oct 2025awkward energy 5

    A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. My mother cooks. That is how…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Matt24 Oct 2025heard energy 2turning point

    This week: Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Blood pressure normal off…

  • An hour on the floor

    Ash24 Oct 2025pleased energy 3turning point

    Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Walked a full night shift without her feet ruining her. Carried both…

  • Steady

    Bex24 Oct 2025fine energy 2

    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 unremarkable week.…

  • Flat, whole night

    Bly24 Oct 2025grateful energy 5turning point

    Short one tonight. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Cycled the Trans Pennine Trail to Penistone. Full shift on my feet and my knees did…

  • Slept through

    Ray24 Oct 2025rested energy 1

    Right. 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 anything written about…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Gwyneth24 Oct 2025heard energy 2

    This week: Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Asked the question I had…

  • What it displaced

    Kez24 Oct 2025pinched energy 1turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Did the arithmetic out loud, on the page, no rounding. It is a lot. Seeing it written down was steadying rather than frightening, which…

  • Wrote it on the milestones page

    Martha24 Oct 2025proud, quietly energy 4

    Wrote it in the milestones page as well, which I would have found embarrassing a year ago. I have been waiting to write this entry for about fourteen months. Not a…

  • Walking

    Romy24 Oct 2025tired but good energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying…

  • Stayed for the company

    Saoirse24 Oct 2025warm energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • Somebody new

    Tansy24 Oct 2025warm energy 4

    Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. Went for the practical answers and…

  • Sunday lunch

    Tobias24 Oct 2025awkward energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of…

  • My mother cooks

    Rohan23 Oct 2025loved energy 3

    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 completely. Still working…

  • Quiet

    Ammi23 Oct 2025fine energy 5

    Short one tonight. 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…
