  • She stopped the room

    Saoirse12 Jun 2025warm energy 1

    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…

  • No mask

    Tilda12 Jun 2025tired energy 3

    Week in order: 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.…

  • Quiet

    Birdie11 Jun 2025steady energy 2

    Evening. 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. An…

  • My mother cooks

    Bly11 Jun 2025warm energy 2

    A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. Starters as a main course,…

  • Two sessions

    Bodhi11 Jun 2025tired but good energy 4

    Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is annoyingly…

  • An hour on the floor

    Nell11 Jun 2025grateful energy 5turning point

    A quiet week. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Lifted a full super without help. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Walked…

  • Flat, whole night

    Bridie11 Jun 2025quietly delighted energy 3

    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. Milking at six.

  • I nearly did not write

    Cass11 Jun 2025fine energy 3

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most…

  • No mask

    Cato11 Jun 2025rested energy 2

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

  • Dreams

    Clover11 Jun 2025tired energy 1

    Evening. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find anything written about…

  • Protein first

    Ephraim11 Jun 2025steady energy 4turning point

    A brief account of the week. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I…

  • No mask

    Freya11 Jun 2025rested energy 4

    Quickly, before bed. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there…

  • My mother cooks

    Hattie11 Jun 2025awkward energy 5

    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 I say thank…

  • Flat, whole night

    Norah11 Jun 2025quietly delighted energy 4turning point

    Right. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Slept seven hours after a night shift for the first time in years.…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Sorrel11 Jun 2025organised energy 3

    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 system and it…

  • She read the diary

    Tam11 Jun 2025brisk energy 3

    Three things this week. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left with a…

  • My mother cooks

    Zeb11 Jun 2025loved energy 5

    Week in order: 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…

  • Across the day

    Anna10 Jun 2025steady energy 5

    A brief account of the week. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my…

  • Into town and back

    Bex10 Jun 2025quietly delighted energy 4turning point

    Quickly, before bed. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Ran the Plymouth Hoe loop. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Boxes to pack.

  • Across the day

    Bo10 Jun 2025steady energy 5

    Short one tonight. 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…

  • Before nine

    Bruno10 Jun 2025steady energy 5

    Evening. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own answer. Protein…

  • No news

    Dev10 Jun 2025fine energy 2

    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.…

  • Steady

    Dilly10 Jun 2025steady energy 3

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

  • Two lines a day

    Esme10 Jun 2025organised energy 4

    Evening. 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 injection day to my…
