What do you wish somebody had said to you in month one?

I would tell them to write down three questions before the first appointment.

Week three and I have found this place, which is the actual news.

Started this week and I have not told my mother and I do not think I will.

It is going all right. That is a strange sentence to be able to write.

I would say: the obvious question is the right question, and nobody here sighs.

Week two and the nausea arrived exactly on schedule, which was almost reassuring.

Started at sixty-two and I feel late to everything, and everybody here has been lovely about that.

Week one. I have the pen in the fridge and I have not touched it in four days.

Week three and I have found this place, which is the actual news.

Started Thursday. Told one person. Feel faintly ridiculous about how frightened I was.

I wish somebody had told me that a restart is an ordinary shape and nobody would think less of me.
