83rd Effexor Update - Feeling Okay
June 28, 2026··
Yesterday (27.06) was better again. I had a little session-gig (we organized it and are opening band) that turned into a nice jamsession, even with a renowned pro Saxophonist. Went well, got invited to more sessions.
After, we had a folksfest at the marketplace and a good time, while i struggle to really let loose. Feel quite a little autistic. Anyways, met some friends and we had a good time.
I‘m glad i was better on that day.
Despite all the stress yesterday and only 3,5h sleep (and another 3,5 nap after, so i‘m good) i feel pretty great today (28.06), but might update that later.
I‘m very curious for tomorrow and the day after. Sometimes i seem
to crash after those weekends. If not, i guess i might be finally done with this withdrawl-session (more than 4 weeks duration this time). Let‘s see!!
Happy Sunday you all!
