57th Effexor Update - Feeling Okay

May 23, 2026··
Sleept okey. If i would had phonebatterie yesterday i‘d give the day a 4. Like the day before yesterday i felt depressed and very tired, but yesterday at about 20 o‘clock the mood suddenly switched feelable to the opposite. These sudden changes are worrying me. Now it seems to be normal again. The vacation to my brother was okey, has sweet newborn and we had important talks. But i need education and a job, somehow managable with these stupid withdrawl mh issues. On my way home again. Have all a nice day!
