  • The list on the fridge

    Birdie23 Oct 2025steady energy 1

    Evening. 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. Was undereating…

  • An unremarkable week

    Nell23 Oct 2025steady energy 4

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

  • Quiet

    Gil23 Oct 2025flat energy 4

    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.…

  • I wanted to stop

    Jonty23 Oct 2025stubborn energy 2turning point

    Second plateau, and it is easier than the first, mostly because I have been here and come out the other side without doing anything clever. Flat, and he analysed it…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Maple23 Oct 2025held energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • Three years side by side

    Marit23 Oct 2025relieved energy 3turning point

    This week: Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Fine. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment,…

  • Stayed for the company

    Mark23 Oct 2025warm energy 2

    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. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an…

  • Unremarkable

    Nolan23 Oct 2025relieved energy 4turning point

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

  • Steady

    Soraya23 Oct 2025steady energy 4

    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. Nothing to report. Writing it…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Bram22 Oct 2025held energy 3

    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.…

  • A different shape

    Bodhi21 Oct 2025tired energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through.…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Dilly21 Oct 2025tired but good energy 4

    Evening. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying…

  • She reduced it

    Hannah21 Oct 2025heard energy 4

    Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was…

  • A locum

    Ravi21 Oct 2025frustrated energy 3turning point

    Notes for the week. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Two other medications reduced. A locum who had clearly…

  • An unremarkable week

    Viv21 Oct 2025flat energy 1

    Well then. 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…

  • Dreams

    Rowan20 Oct 2025tired energy 3

    Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people…

  • She stopped the room

    Dot20 Oct 2025warm energy 5

    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…

  • Nothing to report

    Gwen20 Oct 2025flat energy 2

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

  • Stayed for the company

    Nettie20 Oct 2025warm energy 4

    This 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, and about eleven…

  • Steady

    Petua20 Oct 2025steady energy 2

    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. Steady. That is…

  • She read the diary

    Pippa20 Oct 2025frustrated energy 2

    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 questions…

  • Stayed for the company

    Stefan20 Oct 2025warm energy 5

    Notes for the week. 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.…
