  • What is your secret

    Calla20 Jul 2025warm energy 4

    A quiet week. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Carl20 Jul 2025organised energy 4

    This week: New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire…

  • An hour on the floor

    Esme20 Jul 2025pleased energy 5turning point

    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. Walked up Sainte-Victoire. Walked…

  • Starters as a main

    Espe20 Jul 2025awkward energy 4

    Evening. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can,…

  • She stopped the room

    Ray20 Jul 2025warm energy 1

    Well then. 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. The facilitator stopped…

  • Two sessions

    Gwyneth20 Jul 2025tired but good energy 3

    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. Eight minutes and a chair. That…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Marnie20 Jul 2025organised energy 1

    Short one tonight. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Anchored injection day to my shift…

  • Across the day

    Rafe20 Jul 2025steady energy 2

    A brief account of the week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The…

    Romy20 Jul 2025organised energy 3

    Short one tonight. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Anchored injection day to my shift…

  • Paired

    Soraya20 Jul 2025held energy 3

    A quiet week. 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…

  • She noticed first

    Abel19 Jul 2025held energy 5

    She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I…

  • Two lines a day

    Ammi19 Jul 2025organised energy 3

    A quiet week. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern…

  • The list on the fridge

    Bodhi19 Jul 2025steady energy 5turning point

    A gentle week, mostly. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Learning to eat before…

  • Off the floor

    Clover19 Jul 2025quietly delighted energy 4

    Evening. 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. Walked into town and back,…

  • Steady

    Harlan19 Jul 2025fine energy 5

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Holly19 Jul 2025held energy 1

    She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I…

  • No news

    Huw19 Jul 2025flat 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. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Juniper19 Jul 2025organised energy 1

    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.…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Obi19 Jul 2025organised energy 5

    Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. Tested three cool bags…

  • Off the floor

    Salma19 Jul 2025quietly delighted energy 4turning point

    Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Went swimming with her nieces. Tied my own laces standing up. I am…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Winnie19 Jul 2025organised energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision. Anchored…

  • The bad fortnight

    Ashwin18 Jul 2025flat energy 1turning point

    Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly stupid. A difficult…

  • Steady

    Bel18 Jul 2025fine energy 2

    Short one tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Better tomorrow, probably.
