Second plateau, and it is easier than the first, mostly because I have been here and come out the other side without doing anything clever.

Flat, and he analysed it exhaustively.

Three months of no change and my blood pressure has come down anyway. Two things can be true at once and I keep having to relearn that.

The plateau has been going on longer than the part before the plateau. That is an odd thing to sit with.

Nothing. Eleven weeks of nothing. I know intellectually that nothing is not a failure, and I am finding that intellectual knowledge worth approximately nothing this evening.

I wanted to stop this week. Said so out loud in circle, which I had not planned to. Six people said they had been there. Nobody tried to fix it.

To be revisited.

Same on the four o'clock waking. I have found nothing that fixes it but I have found it helps to know I am not alone in it.

That is a real thing and it is not trivial. Do not let anyone tell you it is only hair.

Please do take that to your GP rather than waiting for the next review. Not to frighten you — just, go.
