  • Two lines a day

    Dilly18 Jul 2025organised energy 1

    Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend…

  • Slept through

    Gavin18 Jul 2025rested energy 3turning point

    Short one tonight. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. CPAP off after a repeat study. He…

  • Nothing to report

    Mo18 Jul 2025fine energy 3

    Week in order: 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.…

  • Paired

    Nadia18 Jul 2025held energy 4

    Three things this week. 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…

    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. I nearly did not…

  • My mother cooks

    Oskar18 Jul 2025loved energy 1

    Notes for the week. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem to be solved.…

  • Walking

    Rilla18 Jul 2025tired but good energy 5

    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. Two sessions this week, both…

  • Walking

    Lucas17 Jul 2025tired but good energy 2

    Right. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it…

  • A plain question

    Annika17 Jul 2025steady energy 5

    A quiet week. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain…

  • Stopped

    Bea17 Jul 2025sad energy 3turning point

    Short one tonight. Six months off. Some of it has come back and the trial data said it probably would, and knowing that in advance has made an enormous difference to…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Dot17 Jul 2025organised energy 4

    Right. 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…

  • Walking

    Ephraim17 Jul 2025tired but good energy 4

    A brief account of the week. 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.…

  • She noticed first

    Héloïse17 Jul 2025held energy 4

    A brief account of the 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…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Moss17 Jul 2025organised energy 3

    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. New sharps bin,…

  • Stayed for the company

    Tarn17 Jul 2025warm energy 1

    This week: Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…

  • Stayed for the company

    Tavia17 Jul 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. Somebody new…

  • I nearly did not write

    Noah16 Jul 2025flat 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. Quiet. Injection…

  • Quiet

    Birdie16 Jul 2025flat energy 1

    Evening. 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. Steady. That…

  • Awake at four

    Hedda16 Jul 2025rested energy 2

    Recording this for the record. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams, every…

  • Flat, whole night

    Héloïse16 Jul 2025grateful energy 5turning point

    A brief account of the week. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked the Salève. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up.…

  • No news

    Ozzy16 Jul 2025steady energy 5

    Right. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday,…

  • What is your secret

    Sonia16 Jul 2025awkward energy 1

    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 face, a table of people…
