  • An hour on the floor

    Inês30 Jul 2025grateful energy 1

    A quiet week. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to…

  • Steady

    Marnie30 Jul 2025steady energy 1

    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. Quiet. Injection…

  • Sunday lunch

    Rin30 Jul 2025warm energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. A wedding. Three courses I could not…

  • Sunday lunch

    Posy30 Jul 2025warm energy 3

    This week: Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and…

  • Both bags, one go

    Viv30 Jul 2025grateful energy 5

    Well then. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Kai29 Jul 2025held energy 5

    A gentle week, mostly. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever…

  • Slept through

    Sorrel29 Jul 2025rested energy 3

    This week: 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…

  • Nothing to report

    Ted29 Jul 2025flat energy 3

    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 taken my…

  • An unremarkable week

    Thea29 Jul 2025steady energy 4

    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.…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Ammi28 Jul 2025tired but good energy 2

    Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Eight…

  • She stopped the room

    Ashwin28 Jul 2025warm energy 3

    Week in order: Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was…

  • Two sessions

    Birdie28 Jul 2025tired but good energy 2

    Evening. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Kept the two sessions…

  • Awake at four

    Ephraim28 Jul 2025foggy energy 3

    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 it.…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Holly28 Jul 2025held energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…

  • What is your secret

    Maple28 Jul 2025loved energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small…

  • Steady

    Mark28 Jul 2025fine energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. 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…

  • Before nine

    Martha28 Jul 2025steady energy 3

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across the day instead of trying to…

  • She stopped the room

    Moray28 Jul 2025warm energy 5

    Well then. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four of…

  • A plain question

    Nadia28 Jul 2025steady energy 2

    Week in order: 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.…

  • She read the diary

    Romy28 Jul 2025heard energy 4

    Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. A locum who had clearly read nothing.…

  • A plain question

    Wilf28 Jul 2025steady energy 4

    This week: Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Spread it across the day instead of…

  • Across the day

    Yannick28 Jul 2025steady energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It…

  • A locum

    Zoë28 Jul 2025brisk energy 4

    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 been…

  • Both bags, one go

    Lucas27 Jul 2025quietly delighted energy 1

    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…
