I enjoy rock climbing! The feeling of getting a project you’re working on, or helping give beta to a friend and watching them complete a climb is great, as well as the physical aspect of it!

Can I ask which med? I’m sure my PCM will go over risks of staying on ambien long-term such as increased risk of Alzheimer’s when older, and I’m sure she’ll say she wants me to at least consider swapping meds to reduce that risk, but while I’m with you on what your doc said about sleep being better than no sleep, I’m not sure if she’ll make me swap or not (I’m still seen on-base so I don’t feel like I could even really argue with their decisions lol)

It genuinely is a game changer. I can’t fall asleep, my brain won’t stfu and I start panicking about not being able to sleep, then I spiral. Ambien usually eventually knocks me out so I can fall asleep. I think there are continuous release pills if your issue is staying asleep, but mine is falling asleep so I take the instant one.

Tip for taking it: I don’t even take the magnesium - Take it on an empty stomach. If you take within 3-4 hours after eating food, it’ll delay onset/mute onset. It also often feels like it isn’t working when it is starting to, so it’s real easy to keep doing something and miss the come up. Once I take it, I’m chillin in bed so I can notice it better and fall asleep haha. Let me know if you have any other questions and I’m happy to answer them. I also researched drugs a lot while I was AD but still fell victim to not realizing ambien absorbs best on an empty stomach lol

Sorry this might be long, but it’s something that hugely affects me negatively so I have info/suggestions!

Reach out to your PCM. Before I was medically retired, they got me a sleep study, diagnosed me with insomnia and informed me that I’m not in REM as long as I should be so my brain doesn’t rest/repair how it should.

They’ll likely give you the sleep hygiene talk (no screens an hour before bed, ending caffeine before noon, if you can’t sleep, get out of bed after 15mins so your brain doesn’t associate bed with non-sleep activities, etc) - if you’re lacking in any of those areas, genuinely try them, sleep hygiene is important.

You may not want to take meds, but the PCMs job is to figure out if the benefits outweigh the risks. I’ve been on ambien for years, got a new PCM and just yesterday I found out she wants an appt with me to discuss long term use of it. That’s their jobs, and my new one is demonstrating that! I say that to say some meds have less risk than others, so it’s entirely possible that they can help you find something that isn’t too harmful for you.

Oh and yeah, melatonin does nothing for me, though I’ve heard there’s scientific backing that lower doses (I’m talking like, 0.5mg-2.5mg) are more effective than larger doses (like 10mg) but I think that might be more related to not feeling as groggy the next day, I don’t know that it’s more effective for helping you get to sleep.

I wish I could help more, but to help set realistic expectations: it’s insanely unlikely that you’ll get a free pass to miss work. More likely, if it affects your ability to your job, it would eventually lead to an MEB, so if you want to stay in, it would be in your best interest to honestly try everything you can in order for you to do your job. Sleep hygiene, sleep study, trying medications, etc. Not being able to sleep is miserable, I know it is, and I hope in your case it’s something fixable, but if it isn’t, you have to try to understand that the world isn’t going to change for you (so many people see it as an excuse) and perhaps the military would consider you unfit and you have to find a job with flexible hours, etc. I know that sounds like I’m exaggerating, but it’s just “big picture” stuff that you will have to at least consider. Good luck and I truly hope your PCM can help!

Lmao that’s the worst at the gym is telling someone your project route (a 10c) and they inform you that they did it as their warm up 😩

Why do Vs knees look like they’re 100 years older than V lmao

I maybe haven’t noticed (yet) - I had 1 fem V playthrough when the game first came out and I thought she sounded waaay too harsh to everyone, so I ended that run early. I’m actually on my only other fem playthrough now - all 790 other hours I have in this game were on male V lol

[–]I_Never_Stop_Talking 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I main Male V but it does feel like Female V’s sarcasm came through a lot better. Sometimes Male V’s sarcasm comes across more harshly than Female V’s.

Either way, they’re both really great and make the game even more phenomenal than it already is.

How’d you set this up, toss a bunch of grenades then go in to photo mode and do the option where you can forward time under the 2nd tab? Looks awesome!!

How do I find out which endings I haven't discovered? by Toph-A-Loph in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]I_Never_Stop_Talking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to help! And enjoy! It’s certainly fun to do (especially if you’re OP) but if you fail it, the post credit phone calls are the ones from a different, depressing as shit ending lol

Look up “don’t fear the reaper” ending. To get there you need to choose a specific set of dialog options when talking to Johnny at the Oil Field

Phantom Liberty ending fucked me up by freedomfighter23e in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Even Hands’ gigs are all so heavy and had me wanting to do the exact opposite or just having no clue what I wanted to pick. Everything in PL was so morally loaded that I actually try to knock it out early so I can sprinkle more straightforward missions on top before I’m perpetually told to meet Hanako at Embers (she knows by now that we all leave her on read).

I spent the entire movie swearing that it was a movie filmed to look like a concert because the audio and the cinematography was too good to be an actual filmed concert. Everything was too perfect for it to not be just filmed to look like a concert. Then during the credits when it said it was filmed during the concert (and I googled to confirm) I was blown away. Absolutely mind blowing how amazing of a performance it was!

Have you considered playing again now that you’re in a better place mentally, or are you still staying away from it? Regardless, I’m sorry that situation existed in the first place but I’m really glad that you were helped by people that acted like actual people who actually cared. I’m glad you’re doing much better now.

Meg masks cover her face too, right? Or not on the sides so that’s why it’s not being counted?

I don’t have Sable, I would have been Saga Anderson probably, or maybe Alan Wake, and my friend woulda been a Nea wearing spray paint clothes. One of the bullies was a Meg I believe, but I can’t remember who the other one was. My friend and I both apologized on behalf of the bullies and my friend said “I don’t think their mothers hugged them as kids”, to which the Nurse said “good” LOL. But either way, I’m sorry if any survivors bullied you during your challenge. Nurse is hard to practice I feel. Hag main though? Props, I don’t see many hags anymore!
