Week in order:

I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment.

What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that.

So. First one done. I had been carrying the box around the house for four days like it was something I had borrowed and needed to give back, and in the end I did it standing up in the kitchen with the radio on.

Noted.

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.

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

This is the second time this week somebody has described that and I am now going to mention it at my own review.
