2nd Effexor Update - Feeling Okay - Mar 1
March 1, 2026··
Feeling still okey but depressive thoughts and emotional distress is coming up at evening. Pressing sexual arousel before that. The seemingly cyclical emotional rollercoasters are harsh. A little worried about the next days but don‘t want to think a crash into reality.
Yesterday wasn‘t a jam but a full blown gig with many people. Played well, got a lot of positive feedback.
A finger infection prevented muscle training today, wasn‘t glad about it. Anyways, need to pay attention to not overstimulate with hard training when disgruntled, could lead to rage instead of relieve. Mood is neutral now. Movie time, trying to sleep early.
