  • Nothing to report

    Ephraim3 Oct 2025flat energy 5

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

  • A locum

    Hannah3 Oct 2025brisk energy 1

    Short one tonight. 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. She reduced one of my…

  • Paired

    Kai3 Oct 2025held energy 5

    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,…

  • A locum

    Ossian3 Oct 2025heard energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and…

  • A plain question

    Soraya3 Oct 2025steady energy 3

    Short one tonight. 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.…

  • Protein first

    Tansy3 Oct 2025steady energy 4

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. I have found five things I can get down when…

  • Three years side by side

    Ammi2 Oct 2025relieved energy 4

    Short one tonight. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a…

  • No news

    Aria2 Oct 2025flat energy 4

    Three things this 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.…

  • Into town and back

    Ronan2 Oct 2025quietly delighted energy 3

    This week: 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. Tied my own laces…

  • Two sessions

    Bodhi1 Oct 2025tired but good energy 4

    Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I…

  • Slept through

    Dilly1 Oct 2025rested energy 3

    Evening. 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…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Ives1 Oct 2025held energy 3

    This week: 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.…

  • Starters as a main

    Stefan1 Oct 2025awkward energy 1

    Notes for the week. 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. Starters…

  • The list on the fridge

    Tavia1 Oct 2025steady energy 4

    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 I have written them…

  • Protein first

    Abel30 Sep 2025steady energy 2

    Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and…

  • Where the pen lives

    Bay30 Sep 2025organised energy 4

    New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person.…

  • Slept through

    Gwen30 Sep 2025rested energy 4

    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. Waking at four again. Not anxious,…

  • Awake at four

    Petua30 Sep 2025tired energy 1

    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…

  • Off the floor

    Sadie30 Sep 2025grateful energy 4

    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. Tied my own laces standing up. I…

  • Paired

    Tinuke30 Sep 2025held energy 4

    Evening. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines…

  • Quiet

    Aleks29 Sep 2025fine energy 1

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

    Calla29 Sep 2025held energy 5

    A quiet week. 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, and it has quietly become…

  • Circle tonight

    Cato29 Sep 2025warm energy 1

    This week: Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for…

  • A different shape

    Clover29 Sep 2025tired energy 5

    Evening. 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…
