4th Effexor Update - Feeling Okay/hopeful - Mar 3

March 3, 2026··
Nice. No crash this time. Slept okey. Mood was pretty stable, a little irritability and negative thinking but kind of reasonable, far from intervention needed. Did gardening. Looking forward for the next days!

Love it STVE! What are you gardening? Some vegetables or plants?

There was a lot to dig up first, preparing the beds. Then a variety of vegetables like tomatoes, aubergine, paprika, cabbage, corn, salad but it‘s not sown yet.
