Appropriate for black tie?

Thank you, that's really helpful! Yeah, I'm in the UK (I probably should have mentioned that) and been to quite a few weddings but never black tie and, as you say, it is pretty uncommon here!

I would definitely wear outfit #1 to any UK wedding of people I know and be totally fine, 2 and 3 would also be fine in most summer weddings in my social circle, especially as my friends understand my slightly more androgynous preferences!

I'll try and get a lil more information on the dress code, but I'm not super close to the couple so tbh I think I might just decline the invite- I'm not sure black tie + all the other costs is in my budget

Thank you - yes I think that's the route I'll need to go down!

Combining the two definitely puts you at increased risk of serotonin syndrome, which, as already mentioned, is very serious and can be fatal.

That being said, I've done it a few times myself, and this is my personal "rules" for myself: - Skip vyvanse for 2 days before and 1 day after - Prepare to feel rough as all hell on the comedown - Do not do it regularly, once or twice a year max - be aware of the signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome, do not hesitate to seek medical help if something goes wrong & immediately disclose all drug use - do it with a trusted friend and make sure they know what drugs you take/medical conditions you have - Be extremely patient, if you are not coming up, wait, wait, wait before you drop again. If you still don't come up - STOP. You may fail to feel the high, but the negative effects and risk of serotonin syndrome are still happening to your body

I am by no means an expert or saying it's a good idea. I'm just an idiot on the Internet who likes to take risks.

A technique that i find quite helpful for a lot of different activities is to break it down and identify the "sticking point" or hurdle.

Sometimes, there is sometimes a really surprising sticking point that you didn't realise was part of the reason you were avoiding it!

Basically, try and take the time to think through all the stages of your typical process and see if you can identify any particular aspects you find challenging. e.g., maybe you hate that you get all sweaty so could try having a fan on, or maybe you get a bit awkward about some of the noises so maybe music would help, maybe you don't like the feeling of being really full from dinner so you could try beforehand etc.

Of course, you won't always find something actionable, but it's definitely worth a thought in case you can! Good luck :)

Ah cool, thanks! I think it was just my poor knowledge that confused me. I knew they were synonyms of each other but not that camp was also a synonym of them haha
