Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week.

She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism.

Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before.

My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it.

Slowly does it.

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

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.

Writing this down for my own review, if you do not mind. The question you asked is the one I have been failing to ask for a year.
