A brief account of the week.

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 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 stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does.

Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point.

To be revisited.

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.

I am so glad you went in. Genuinely.

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

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line. Thank you for writing it down.
