  • Stayed for the company

    Inês16 Jun 2025warm energy 3

    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…

  • An unremarkable week

    Kai16 Jun 2025flat energy 2

    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. Quiet.…

  • Starters as a main

    Maple16 Jun 2025warm energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Sunday lunch at my…

  • Quiet

    Marit16 Jun 2025flat energy 1

    This week: 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 foul, and I…

  • Off the floor

    Pam16 Jun 2025pleased energy 3turning point

    Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Walked the full length of the pier and back. Swam. First time since school.…

  • Circle tonight

    Wystan16 Jun 2025warm energy 4

    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. Went for the practical answers and…

  • Laces

    Rowan15 Jun 2025pleased energy 4

    This 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 do…

  • A different shape

    Bruno15 Jun 2025rested energy 2

    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, and I…

  • An hour on the floor

    Carl15 Jun 2025pleased energy 2turning point

    This week: Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Got down on the floor with his granddaughter and got back…

  • Slept through

    Hedda15 Jun 2025foggy energy 4

    The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up…

  • Laces

    Holly15 Jun 2025pleased energy 2

    A quiet week. 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. Tied my own laces…

  • Flat, whole night

    Moray15 Jun 2025quietly delighted energy 4

    Right. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Got down…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Odile15 Jun 2025organised energy 4

    Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing.…

  • Starters as a main

    Rin15 Jun 2025awkward energy 1

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…

  • An unremarkable week

    Pippa15 Jun 2025steady energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful…

  • Starters as a main

    Posy15 Jun 2025loved energy 2

    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…

  • No mask

    Ronan15 Jun 2025foggy energy 3

    This week: 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…

  • Come back in a year

    Sam15 Jun 2025pleased energy 1turning point

    Notes for the week. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. A1c out of the prediabetes…

  • Circle tonight

    Solomon15 Jun 2025warm energy 3

    Week in order: 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…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Tavia15 Jun 2025steady energy 2

    Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I…

  • The list on the fridge

    Zoë15 Jun 2025steady energy 2

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. I have found…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Ashwin14 Jun 2025organised energy 3

    Week in order: 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…

  • Before nine

    Calla14 Jun 2025steady energy 1

    A quiet week. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it across the day instead of…

  • Steady

    Gilly14 Jun 2025fine energy 1

    Right. 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…
