  • The routine came apart

    Izzy13 Jul 2025better energy 5turning point

    Told my prescriber rather than waiting to see. That is new for me and it is entirely down to something someone said in circle. A hard summer, handled with her GP. My…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Kai13 Jul 2025quietly delighted energy 2

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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. Got…

  • Steady

    Maple13 Jul 2025steady energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. 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. Steady.…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Odile13 Jul 2025quietly delighted energy 1

    A brief account of the week. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever…

  • What is your secret

    Rafe13 Jul 2025loved energy 5

    A brief account of 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…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Sorrel13 Jul 2025grateful energy 1

    This week: Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds…

  • An unremarkable week

    Tam13 Jul 2025fine energy 2

    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.…

  • Slept through

    Bruno12 Jul 2025foggy energy 5

    Evening. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better,…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Juno12 Jul 2025organised energy 1

    Well then. 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. Two lines a…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Marnie12 Jul 2025steady energy 5

    A quiet week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and…

  • Into town and back

    Ossian12 Jul 2025grateful energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire…

  • A different shape

    Ronan12 Jul 2025rested energy 1

    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. Repeat study came back and the…

  • Two lines a day

    Stellan12 Jul 2025organised energy 3

    Recording this for the record. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. New…

  • Where the pen lives

    Ammi11 Jul 2025organised energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…

  • Somebody new

    Ashwin11 Jul 2025warm energy 3

    Three things 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…

  • An unremarkable week

    Bodhi11 Jul 2025steady energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Cass11 Jul 2025organised energy 5

    New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great…

  • Dreams

    Esme11 Jul 2025foggy energy 1

    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 shake off. Two other people…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Héloïse11 Jul 2025organised energy 5

    A brief account of the week. 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…

  • I nearly did not write

    Martha11 Jul 2025flat energy 2

    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 is the…

  • She noticed first

    Mo11 Jul 2025held energy 4

    Week in order: My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a…

  • Steady

    Rilla11 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. Steady. That is the whole entry.…
