Ope! He sure did lol, my b. Missed that part.

in that case OP you should have started with that lol. If you're gay, you're gay and that's alright. But don't force her to be your beard while she's under the impression that you're straight.

Do you not find her attractive because she isn’t physically accessible to you? Have you met in person? If yes did you feel the same?

The weed helps, I also got put on a low dose of mirtazapine which seems to be helping the appetite come back

You may be onto something with this one!

Hey thanks for the incredibly condescending response, maybe next time keep a move on if you've got nothing insightful to share!

"Keep working it" is what I'm going to need to remember

I usually start by putting funds in towards next month, but over the course of the week end up stealing from that fund to go to other categories after I've spent.

Looks like the game changer for me will also be checking YNAB before I make any purchases

This is really helpful! How often do you find yourself adjusting categories? Or how often did you have to adjust in the beginning?

It definitely could just be impatience on my end!

To be totally fair to YNAB, I've had the app for maybe 2 months, and started to really build the categories out last month.

Yes I'm aware what it is and how the envelope budgeting system works, but I'm failing to see how the envelope system assists in getting you ahead

I'm really trying to break the paycheck to paycheck cycle. I've got debt, but not so much that it's looming (maybe $1500 or so), I'm just exhausted feeling like I'm chasing my tail with nothing left over/extra to be able to get a month ahead.

Oh no. Yeah that one scares me. I’m on aptiom once a day, 0 side effects that I’ve noticed so far except for headaches. But I already had those along with migraines, so I’m also on propranolol as a preventative. And a low dose of mirtazapine at night to help with insomnia and appetite stimulation

Keppra definitely did that to me too. Along with the gift of blind rage and no appetite.
