@notaround OMG! I could have written this myself! I’m 3 weeks off Effexor and feel the same way. I’m at my wits end. I try to stay busy, but that is a chore in itself, not to mention having to go to work everyday. I’m so ready to feel normal again!

Thanks for the sympathy, everyone. I'm doing my best to be patient with myself.

Hope you all have as good a day as you can right now. Even if it's just making it to tomorrow.

One of the things that gets me through sometimes is knowing that any single episode can't last forever. Feelings and symptoms change. And over time, more treatments get approved. So I do what I can to nudge things towards a change I want and then wait. While it can be a little scary to think about, the idea of impermanence helps me.
