77th Effexor Update - Feeling Bad
August 6, 2026··
taper update
Still feeling pretty rough with anxiety and some insomnia last night. It's crazy how dysregulated my CNS is. I will continue to rest and recover from my recent stress. The things that help me the most are exercise, slow deep breathing, vagus nerve work, warm baths, and EFT Tapping. I also remind myself that it's safe to relax.
When you're struggling, acceptance goes a long way in helping you through. It's not your fault that you're injured. Treat yourself with kindness and compassion.
Sending lots of love and support to everyone today! 💜
