I’m woefully sad that this is the last night of this temporary artifice I created for myself.

I had to put myself on a timeout in the shade today, because my inability to judge pain properly anymore had me underestimate sunburn (the nerve) - and reader, the toddler levels of pouting with myself were flabbergasting. Such a stubborn little child.

A wild harpist has appeared at hotel breakfast. It was all dentist waiting room background music enough until they launched into the most heart wrenching plucking of strings of Hallelujah (definitely Jeff Buckley version but make it actually church-y). Maybe we’ll fill the pool with tears today.

If I get up from the breakfast table, I have to go into the hotel gym - so I linger, longingly watching the swaths coming from the smoking area whilst pigeons try to sneak onto my table to steal grapes.

Someone whispering ‘no Brexit for you’ as three of us walked past the clogged up Brit queue to go through EU passport gates really brightened my day.

Hometown visit. Mother got really excited about some dude she wanted to show me in the newspaper. ‘You know… you knew his sister.’ It was one of my big bad high school bullies. That name sat way too close to the tip of my tongue 20 years later. Thankfully he looks miserable.

Heathrow airport toilet music always goes hard on the strings, and that’s kinda nice.

I’m sure I’m good at an acceptable amount of things but a perfectly folded omelette is not one of them.

If anyone saw me pulling out weeds in the pouring rain earlier, they’d probably think I like gardening, when in reality I’m in a particularly stubborn standoff with depression & my physical health, and in the most hilarious way I was just taking a stand.

It’s pouring it down, finally. I’m sat in bed with peach cheesecake and a cup of tea. It’s time to start planning again, at least the fun stuff.

I heard your voice in a coffee shop. It’s London, it could’ve been plausible. Well, it could’ve been plausible if you hadn’t been dead, dead, dead for years.

The wonders of this condition mean that when I socialise even though I’m in elevated pain, it then spikes further & I can no longer control anything (facial expressions, choice of words, hearing/seeing properly) & I have to keep pretending none of this is happening because those are the rules.

It makes me so uncomfortable when bellends say ‘kay-gees’ instead of ‘kilos’. When did this start and why is it everywhere now?

My dreams are getting more and more vivid (I know, other people’s dreams are boring), which indicates we can probably lift my years long writer’s block - but I really cannot with my emotions right now.

Why I feel morose af? Idk, probably just the raw-dogging of the new Phoebe Bridgers album pre-7am before my meds had a chance to kick in. Sad girl summer in full swing.

Sometimes you just gotta sit in a castle ruin with your mates, watch a partial eclipse and get emotional hiccups over some moving cows to remember that life does turn out alright sometimes.

At least once a week I find myself scouring any and all apps for a mention of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania in hopes of finding a fellow sufferer further in their treatment who can tell me that it will indeed get better one day. Where are you?

Ice masks hurt but you also kind of get to feel like a super hero for a minute.

My right eye went at around 10am. It just happens with the pain sometimes. At a guess we’re back to somewhere between 60-80% now. The child next door is crying. The third ice cream van in half an hour has bestowed its jingle on me. I want to rip my head off and mash it into the sewer.

Slept around a total of 4 or 5 hours since waking up on Friday. I forgot how nauseating insomnia feels. I forgot how unfiltered it makes me. And I would really like to filter reality right now.

There isn’t much point, is there, in debating those who are vehemently unmotivated to seek to understand nuance.

My pain levels are so unbelievably out of control today but thankfully I can tell everyone that it’s the heatwave that makes me look like shit, so they don’t have to feel uncomfortable about it

That’s my four hour weekly cry finished, guess I better get onto an unadvisable workout in this heat to prove to myself that I’m resilient or some bullshit.

My heart rate is notably elevated, and I think that’s just a symptom of my heartbreak for Côte d’Ivoire.

When I used to tango with burnout on the reg (and was engaged to sweet, sweet cigarettes), I thought it was my increased smoking that made me lose my voice every time. Turns out exhaustion can do that all on its own. The more you know!

Spent the day in a pub in Reform territory, and the amount of free-flowing cocaine kinda explained a lot.

It really is warm. Upon stepping out of the shower I realised I’d gone to change the towels but didn’t replenish, so I patted myself down with a face cloth, waited a minute and am now bone dry.

Oh sweet Lord, this weather would go perfectly with an ice cold pint (don’t even care which beer) and a cigarette (Marlboro Gold during the day,Camel Blue at night). The yearning, oh it’s so real.

Look, this week I learnt that in tech it’s called a bug because of ‘bugbear’ and not because engineers don’t like creepy crawlers, and I haven’t been able to tell anyone how exciting I find that because… well, I technically work ‘in tech’.

I stayed out longer than I had planned for the first time in months today. It felt so frivolous to spontaneously elongate my plans. And then it all came tumbling down when I was racing home to make it back on time for the next dose. This is not the Cinderella bullshit I was hoping for.

Is spring fatigue a thing? I feel like I’ve been enveloped by a yawn I can’t escape, it just keeps me locked in a cloud and every time I try to leave it sucks me in deeper.

My kitchen has needed a declutter for a while. I have about 0.5 ounces of energy left for this weekend, so I’m naturally sitting on its floor, eating a hard boiled egg and harmonising to Nelly Furtado’s Try with my mouth full. If I didn’t know any better, I’d call it a mental health crisis.

I can’t figure out if the meds side effects seem worse because the headache is better or if the headache seems better because the side effects are worse, but either way I’m sure it’s contributing to losing my mind.
