How is your week going? (piefed.social)

I'd love to see this community get off the ground, so I thought I'd chip in with something simple. A quick check-in post to ask you all how your week is going.

I'll start. I've been taking my new medication (Venlafaxine) for 2 weeks now. I'm going back and forth over whether or not it's helping me, but I've been going on more walks (exposure) and chatting a bit more on Discord (again exposure as I have real bad social anxiety) so I feel like maybe it is? Crossing my fingers.

What about you guys? How's your week going? (and it doesn't matter if you're responding today or a year from now!)

2 weeks isn't a lot of time to judge a new med, in my opinion. Keep at it! :)

My week is poor but not due to anxiety. It's waiting, though. It'll strike when it sees a moment. I picture mine as a shoulder gremlin with a megaphone.
