43rd Effexor Update - Feeling Okay
April 21, 2026··
7,5h sleep. Good. Most of the day was okey, a little strange though. Had a little gig in the evening that drove me mad, i will quit that band. Sadly my focus was also very low. Feel a little lost. Try to have a good night and hope i‘m finally reregulated tomorrow.
