  • Dreams

    Rin5 Jun 2025rested energy 4

    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 it.…

  • No news

    Petua5 Jun 2025fine energy 4

    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. No news. The dog is…

  • A different shape

    Ted5 Jun 2025rested energy 4

  • No mask

    Wystan5 Jun 2025foggy energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and the…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Matt4 Jun 2025quietly delighted energy 4

    This 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. Got down on the floor…

  • Nothing to report

    Bel4 Jun 2025flat energy 4

    A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Better tomorrow, probably.

  • An unremarkable week

    Hattie4 Jun 2025steady energy 1

    Short one tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a…

  • She reduced it

    Mark4 Jun 2025frustrated energy 3

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. Asked the…

  • My mother cooks

    Obi4 Jun 2025loved energy 2

    Notes for the week. 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. My mother…

  • Both bags, one go

    Pippa4 Jun 2025grateful energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire…

  • No news

    Bruno3 Jun 2025fine energy 4

    Evening. 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…

  • She stopped the room

    Marnie3 Jun 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…

  • Nine minutes

    Nettie3 Jun 2025brisk energy 3

    This week: Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. She reduced one of my other…

  • The pattern of it

    Rilla3 Jun 2025flat energy 1

    Quick one. The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it stopped feeling…

  • Before nine

    Solomon3 Jun 2025steady energy 5

    Three things this 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 own.…

  • I did not know

    Thea3 Jun 2025quiet energy 1

    A brief account of the week. Went past the shop I always go into and simply did not go in. Not resisted. Did not occur to me. I stood outside for a moment afterwards…

  • What is your secret

    Yannick3 Jun 2025awkward energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation offered, none requested. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze…
