  • Into town and back

    Tobias5 Mar 2026grateful energy 5

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

  • Two years, no news

    Bo4 Mar 2026content energy 2turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. Nothing happened again. I am aware that is now the fourth month running I have written that, and I have decided it is the best sentence in…

  • Reduced

    Calla4 Mar 2026content energy 3turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. Reduced to a maintenance dose. Same day, same fridge, less of it. Steady. Two years. My only news is that there is no news, and I have come…

  • A locum

    Clover4 Mar 2026frustrated energy 1

    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. She reduced one of my other medications. I…

  • Paired

    Kai4 Mar 2026held energy 2

    A gentle week, mostly. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Maple4 Mar 2026organised energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. New sharps bin,…

  • Awake at four

    Nadia4 Mar 2026tired energy 3

    Week in order: 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…

  • Awake at four

    Yannick4 Mar 2026foggy energy 5

    Notes for the week. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Cass3 Mar 2026held energy 2

    Recording this for the record. 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…

  • Nothing

    Thea3 Mar 2026frayed energy 2

    A brief account of the week. Nothing. Eleven weeks of nothing. I know intellectually that nothing is not a failure, and I am finding that intellectual knowledge worth…

  • She stopped the room

    Bex2 Mar 2026warm energy 2

    Quickly, before bed. 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.…

  • Reduced

    Inês2 Mar 2026content energy 1

  • A plain question

    Aria1 Mar 2026steady energy 5

    Three things this week. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Was undereating…

  • She stopped the room

    Dot1 Mar 2026warm energy 4

    Well then. 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 four of…

  • Across the day

    Linnet28 Feb 2026steady energy 3

    Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Protein first, everything else after. It is not…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Nix28 Feb 2026tired but good energy 1

    Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped…

  • Nothing to report

    Lucas27 Feb 2026steady energy 3

    Well then. 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. An…

  • Nine minutes

    Bea27 Feb 2026brisk energy 4

    Short one tonight. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left with a…

  • Quiet

    Gwyneth27 Feb 2026fine energy 5

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my…
