Yes, more when going to bed than waking up though.

Let me introduce you to "I'm The Villain In My Own Story": https://youtu.be/UhzN7SfnNeY

From the excellent (though sometimes emotionally heavy) show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. It's certainly not the best song in the show, but the most relevant.

And in the artery to that vein, let me present "I'm A Good Person": https://youtu.be/O4hh1YhDfbA

(Edited to clarify these are not the best songs in the show, there are better songs and in a wide variety of genres!)

Filming it is the right call. This way there can be no doubt as to what happened if someone is looking for the burger later, and they can get it comped by the restaurant without issue should they want another.

And with the whole table empty of people they had either already finished most of their meal/weren't that hungry, or it's a fake video.

Fight club comes to mind

So does Bridget Jones Diary.

I'm not saying whether its more stereotypically male or not in movies (I've never thought about it, maybe its that there have historically been more male leads in general?), I just like bringing up the classic naugthies rom-coms whenever I can.

To be the artery to your vein:

It's better the ask and sound ignorant, than say nothing and remain so.

Carrots will not grant you the ability to see in the dark, but have many other benefits. Remember to stock up on carrots when able.

Probably could have explained your justification in the time it took you to justify why you couldn't give your justification...

But I myself am an avid employer of "no is a complete sentence" in my personal life, so I'm not mad about it.

It absolutely could. There could be different options to manage symptoms depending on if they occur at onset, at peak, during withdrawal, or after withdrawal.

But as for answering your question: no, I have far less cravings on meds than off. I have slightly more cravings at night when the meds have worn off, but still almost none unless I'm off the meds for like a week or more.

I have more snacking cravings on meds though. Once I specified it to be late afternoons/evenings, I figured out was because I don't eat enough during the day on meds, then I could manage that symptom by solving the issue.

Is it when the medicine is active or is it a withdrawal symptom?

Have you tried not posting?

I mean, are you getting banned because your device/IP is banned, or is it for the stuff you write?

Excellent camouflage. Had to do a double take, wouldn't have know it was there if not alerted. 10/10 Peeta-bird.

I feel ya. I always have to go through and clean up my notes immediately when I can still recall what they may have meant, or the meaning will be lost to time.

I second the recording, it seems like the surest way to save your thoughts word for word but i personallydont like speakingout loud while thinking.

You can type your notes on your phone if you're as quick or quicker there than by hand. Autocorrect will mess up some words but those will probably be understandable through context rather than the whole sentence being unreadable.

Or try mind-mapping where you only have to write a few words and draw connections between them. This can take some time to practice, and you can figure out your own sort of shorthands for figures and imagery.

I also like bullet points, where I make sure to make key words readable and can add details that may or may not be legible, but the key words are likely to trigger the same thoughts later as when writing them down.

And always go through and clean up whatever notes or voice memos you take as soon as possible after when it's still relevant in your mind.
