70th Effexor Update - Feeling Poor
June 11, 2026··
Slept good over 7h. The day was better but unproductive. Laid down for a little in the afternoon and had a 3h nap, didn‘t want that. I‘m feeling like walking through mud and it‘s annoying me.
Tomorrow i have a bigger gig than usual. Hope it all works out well.
Constantly thinking i need stimulants as this stagnation makes me sad and i’m yearning for a working memory. What a fucked up Situation.
Looks like i need to wait longer to get my driver license back as there was still residue found after all this time, this annoys me pretty much. It‘s a feeling of being trapped and not getting out but getting older and older.
