  • The question I had been avoiding

    Pippa26 Sep 2025heard energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an…

  • Awake at four

    Soraya26 Sep 2025rested energy 1

    Late, and writing anyway. 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…

  • An hour on the floor

    Lucas25 Sep 2025grateful energy 2

    Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Slept…

  • What is your secret

    Abel25 Sep 2025awkward 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…

  • Nine minutes

    Juno25 Sep 2025heard energy 1

    Well then. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. She reduced one of my other…

  • I nearly did not write

    Maeve25 Sep 2025fine energy 4

    Well then. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Tomorrow, honestly.

  • Off the floor

    Nuala25 Sep 2025quietly delighted energy 2

    Right. 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. Got down on the floor and…

  • No news

    Romy25 Sep 2025flat energy 3

    Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…

  • What is your secret

    Viv25 Sep 2025loved energy 2

    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…

  • Flat, whole night

    Wystan25 Sep 2025quietly delighted energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. 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. Up the stairs at work…

  • Dreams

    Matt24 Sep 2025rested energy 4

    This week: Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of…

  • Awake at four

    Juniper24 Sep 2025tired energy 5

    Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the…

  • Nothing to report

    Maple24 Sep 2025fine energy 4

    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…

  • Somebody new

    Minnie24 Sep 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…

  • An hour on the floor

    Nix24 Sep 2025quietly delighted energy 1turning point

    Recording this for the record. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Walked the Water of Leith path end to end.…

  • My mother cooks

    Ammi23 Sep 2025loved energy 1

    A quiet 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. My mother cooks.…

  • She reduced it

    Cato23 Sep 2025brisk energy 3
