A quiet week.

A hard week. I asked for help later than I should have and I am writing that down so I recognise it faster next time.

A difficult February. Asked for help later than she should have and said so.

My routine was built entirely around meals and when the meals changed the routine came apart. That is a logistics problem, not a character problem, and it took me two months to see it that way.

Told my prescriber rather than waiting to see. That is new for me and it is entirely down to something someone said in circle.

Therapy alongside this has been the useful part. The medication changed the volume; the therapy is doing the work.

Better tomorrow, probably.

Would you be willing to say more about how you raised it? I have an appointment on the 14th and I keep losing my nerve.

Take the win. Two flights of stairs is two flights of stairs.

Ninth week for me too and I also nearly stopped. Glad neither of us did, so far.
