I think it's still too early to tell, but I have started to feel a bit better over the past few days. It's been awhile since I've had that general sense of well being, and it seems to be coming back. At least the brain shocks from the effexor are pretty much gone now. I can't stand those things.
Yeah I'm really looking forward to therapy. I have trust issues when it comes to opening up to friends and family so I'm hoping talking to a third party outside of my life will help.
