17th Effexor Update - Feeling Okay

March 16, 2026··
Did not do much, was a little strange day. Even wanted to give it only 4 points in between. Only a tiny bit of sports and music. No motivation or drive and a little hopeless, lot‘s of bed time. On to the next.

Some days are like that, and it’s okay. Even doing small things is a win on those days! Hang in there 😊
