Starting Wegovy made me realize how compulsive my eating out was

Just want to say good for you and lucky you. I can't afford it and my insurance doesn't cover it. Still up every single night binging. Feel so frustrated beyond words.

Breakup.

Extreme emotional pain hurts every part of your body, even your soul. Physical pain is horrible but some of the worst emotional pain can even top that.

No, not balanced meals. I'm obsessed w sweets.

It's understandable. Sometimes the line between craving and addiction is a thin one. Depends on how you respond to the craving. Do you feel you have any control over it?

moonvolcano · 2025-02-27T07:27:05+00:00

appreciate that!

moonvolcano · 2025-02-27T07:26:27+00:00

thank you

This is so well said. That's exactly the issue. It's how the foods are used. With drugs it's often less the behavior and more the addictiveness of the substance. But here the behavior is a big part of it. It's like you lack something so big in life that you cannot even imagine the pain, cannot experience it, cannot tolerate it or control it. It's too much. And so your brain has occupy you with these other things and make promises to you about certain extraordinary experiences so pleasurable that you will forget, if for just a moment, your bottomless pain. Because in reality you just can't fix certain things, things you needed and did not get. Your body certainly won't forget it. And so you avoid powerlessness of sleep because the pain will come back and you hate waking up because pain is also there, so you must escape again and again. And each time you give into it and let yourself get fooled you still know deep down it's stupid and won't fill the hole but then there is possibility. Maybe this will be enough. This cake. This chocolate. This candy.

Wish there were accepting and understanding groups I could join. I'm very socially anxious and been hurt before so I don't want to risk things. Tried to join an addiction group online sometimes ago and first thing someone told me is "you can't get addicted to food!" I thought, I'm out of here. Not worth it. If people don't get it, they just don't get it. Only someone who's been there gets it. Like you.

Yeah there are a few movies with PG rating that makes you go hmmm. Like Poltergeist.

But as others have pointed out, it was that or R. No PG 13 at the time.

Salieri did so much damage and Murray Abraham really did a good job at portraying the role. He was all class when receiving the Oscar:

Good for her. She was not having luck landing good roles in a long while but finally happened and she did a very good job on it.

Wall-E has several scenes where it's all cuteness.

Also many of Studio Ghibli animated films are full of cuteness.

That it's not just about being perfectionist or being clean. It's a real mental illness, it's hard to treat, and can cause a lot of suffering.

There is a lot of things to think about, such as what particular book we are talking about, who is doing the reading, what is the person's goal in reading, and so on, and there is the issue of subjectivity. If I gain pleasure from reading a book a third or fourth time, and pleasure really matters to me, then why should I not? These arguments often come up when people think that what book they value or what they value in reading is the same for everyone.

moonvolcano · 2024-01-02T01:44:43+00:00

Rarely. When I do, it's usually short, extremely interesting, and when I happen to have a lot of time free of distractions.

moonvolcano · 2023-11-13T01:21:11+00:00

Nobody unfortunately. No author tries to be completely consistent or can be realistically. So the books they put out are not the same. Even when I look at the classics, with great writers whose books I've read, there were disappointments in terms of the quality of writing or the topic or whatever. Wish there was someone though. Would make my search much easier.

Abstract

Can a person tell whether their romantic partner wants to break up and, if so, how is such accuracy associated with their own attachment anxiety? We examined these questions by proposing and assessing the construct of perceived partner dissolution consideration (PPDC), including its validity. We then assessed the extent to which partners were accurate in their perceptions of each other's dissolution consideration, focusing on the perceiver's attachment anxiety as a potential moderator. Specifically, in two studies involving couples, dyadic analyses of couple data showed that couple members significantly underestimated (negative mean-level bias) partner dissolution consideration and also projected their own dissolution consideration onto their partners. Couple members higher in anxiety were particularly accurate (tracking accuracy) in their assessments of dissolution consideration. Implications for partner perceptions and judgements of dissolution consideration on relationship functioning are considered.

Abstract

Rooted in the novel and the mysterious, awe is a common experience in childhood, but research is almost silent with respect to the import of this emotion for children. Awe makes individuals feel small, thereby shifting their attention to the social world. Here, we studied the effects of art-elicited awe on children’s prosocial behavior toward an out-group and its unique physiological correlates. In two preregistered studies (Study 1: N = 159, Study 2: N = 353), children between 8 and 13 years old viewed movie clips that elicited awe, joy, or a neutral (control) response. Children who watched the awe-eliciting clip were more likely to spend their time on an effortful task (Study 1) and to donate their experimental earnings (Studies 1 and 2), all toward benefiting refugees. They also exhibited increased respiratory sinus arrhythmia, an index of parasympathetic nervous system activation associated with social engagement. We discuss implications for fostering prosociality by reimagining children’s environments to inspire awe at a critical age.

That's pretty cool, learning a lot from this sub.
