  • She stopped the room

    Lena6 Jul 2025warm energy 3turning point

    Notes for the week. 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. Started…

  • An unremarkable week

    Aria6 Jul 2025steady energy 3

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a…

  • Stayed for the company

    Ashwin6 Jul 2025warm energy 1

    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. Circle tonight.…

  • Laces

    Bex6 Jul 2025pleased energy 4

    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 reason I started, and I have…

  • What is your secret

    Bruno6 Jul 2025warm energy 1

    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. Starters as a main…

  • Stayed for the company

    Clemmie6 Jul 2025warm energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It…

  • Both bags, one go

    Col6 Jul 2025grateful energy 2turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Paddled out at Fistral every day for a…

  • Steady

    Gwen6 Jul 2025flat energy 4

    Steady. That is the whole entry. 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.…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Gwyneth6 Jul 2025tired but good energy 5

    This week: Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying…

  • Steady

    Hedda6 Jul 2025flat energy 3

    Recording this for the record. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather…

  • Stayed for the company

    Moray6 Jul 2025warm energy 2

    Right. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven…

  • A rough few days

    Espe5 Jul 2025sore energy 2

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

  • Laces

    Harri5 Jul 2025grateful energy 5turning point

    Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Coached a full training session without sitting down. Got down on the…

  • Back without making it up

    Mark5 Jul 2025tired but good energy 2turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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.…

  • Steady

    Nettie5 Jul 2025steady energy 5

    This week: 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. Quiet.…

  • An unremarkable week

    Zoë5 Jul 2025fine energy 2

    Quickly, before bed. 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.…

  • She read the diary

    Abel4 Jul 2025frustrated 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. Took the diary in. She read it…

  • A calculator and a cup of tea

    Aleks4 Jul 2025pinched energy 2turning point

    Price went up mid-year and I had a very unglamorous evening with a calculator and a cup of tea. A supply gap of five weeks. Did the arithmetic out loud, on the page,…

  • Paired

    Ammi4 Jul 2025held energy 5

    Late, and writing anyway. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other…

  • Slept through

    Birdie4 Jul 2025rested energy 5

    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. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Dot4 Jul 2025heard energy 4

    Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Ephraim4 Jul 2025organised energy 3

    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…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Ray4 Jul 2025organised energy 2

    Well then. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Anchored injection day to my…
