You are absolutely right--a week is not enough for the meds to really kick in. But, day by day, you will probably see a little improvement--maybe another weekk, and you might begin to feel it. It's something to look forward to, don't you think? It's great you are getting out and trying to do some things--that will help. Do be kind to yourself. Take a deep breath in, then slowly let it out. Then do it again. Do that several times a day; it will be peaceful and maybe give you a little relief.
