Back. Eight months away and I arrived braced for a judgement that has not come from a single person.

Restarted when a job started.

The shame about the gap was worse than any side effect I have had. Six people in circle said "yes, me, twice", and it went.

Second time and it is completely different. Slower, kinder, and I know what the third day feels like.

In between, still.

Thank you for saying the hard part out loud. It makes it easier for the rest of us to.

I did the same thing with the box, for six weeks, in a two-bedroom flat. We are ridiculous and we are fine.

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